Almost two months ago, Simos requested a command line tool to help translators manage their message catalogs and get them uploaded. I agree it would be very, very useful, so I started to think about how to do that. I have almost no programming skills; so after a lot of research and trial-and-error, that’s as far as I could get.

It was about time to tell how it was for me to participate in the fisl 9.0! As I said before, I made a presentation about the work of the Brazilian GNOME translation team, while Fernando Boaglio did the same for KDE. My presentation is available in SlideShare (in Portuguese).

That’s right, I’m the new coordinator of the Brazilian Portuguese localization team! I think of it as a result of my progessive involvement and dedication to the team through the last 2 and a half years.

I just found a plugin for Evolution to remove duplicate emails. Thanks, Carlos Garnacho! By the way, any change of moving this to GNOME’s FTP server, or maybe inside Evolution? I’d be more than happy to translate it, in exchange

By the way, thanks for the tip, Juha K. Siltala!

I’m pretty busy recently. Last time I played this meme, my history was full of commands I use to review and commit translation.

I promised better agility in updating the Portuguese dictionary for Vim, didn’t I? Six days after Natura Project updated its European Portuguese dictionary for Myspell, its Vim counterpart is already available in the FTP site.

This year I’ll participate on the 9th FISL! The Free Software World Forum happens every year in Porto Alegre, the Brazilian city where the World Social Forum was born.

Brazilian KDE translation team coordinator Fernando Boaglio and I will make an overview of the translation proccess of KDE and GNOME. I don’t know about the other days, but April 19 I’ll be there for sure.

After I moved my stuff to a new hard disk, F-Spot couldn’t find my photos anymore. The path to the photos folder had changed, because I adopted a new user name. If you ever get yourself in this situation, here are some steps to fix the sqlite database.

Last weekend I updated the Brazilian Portuguese dictionary for GNU Aspell, and the Portuguese (European and Brazilian) dictionary for Vim. This version features a much improved accuracy while spell checking words with enclisis an mesoclisis.

I just improved Vim’s syntax highlighting for po files. Besides the features introduced last year, this version is now able to correctly highlight XML tags beginning in one line and ending in the next one. Vim will now spell check the value of specific attributes: abbr, alt, content, summary, standby e title. (This list was retrieved from the translate-toolkit source code.)
