06:24:57 lijli: not late. thanks for testing. 06:25:16 ah pravins reassigned it to libreoffice 06:25:19 1025711 06:25:22 .bug 1025711 06:25:26 juhp: Bug 1025711 [mr_IN] Improper rendering when user enters marathi input in search box in libre office applications. - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1025711 06:25:47 juhp: yeah, that looks problem with refreshing text content 06:25:54 aha 06:26:33 rendering is fine but some part of text appears invisible 06:26:37 * juhp wishes "fedora bugzilla" didn't download all components on a bug page by default 06:26:58 * juhp adds i18n Keyword 06:27:00 similar issue for Tamil? 06:28:24 anything else for test day? 06:29:28 ah, well, for those who aren't yet trying, I'd encourage you to do that. and for those who aren't yet updating, please update with your result. 06:30:12 hopefully we'll see more attendees and languages in the results 06:30:55 juhp, tagoh_ also good to tracking the the fedora bugs via adding i18n/Translation Keyword to bugzilla 06:31:24 yes 06:31:27 and avoid the duplicate 06:32:00 lijli: true. will update the wiki with it later. thanks for suggestion 06:32:01 better can someone help to update it to the guide wiki page? 06:32:14 tagoh_, nps, thanks 06:33:28 if not, let's move on 06:33:52 #topic Outstanding topics 06:33:52 #info #26: proposal: move to using IMEs for ASCII/Latin input 06:33:52 #link https://fedorahosted.org/i18n/ticket/26 06:34:00 juhp: any updates? 06:34:27 I just posted my summary now to the ticket! 06:34:41 so if you refresh hopefully you can see it 06:34:50 ah, thanks! 06:36:11 though 2 more meetings also covered will add those shortly 06:36:18 (from the end of last month) 06:36:46 just looking at it there seems quite a lot of things to pull apart and think more on 06:37:09 and need to clarify the scope a bit more too? 06:37:12 I think I should move it to wiki page and structure it more 06:37:18 I suppose so 06:37:20 okay 06:37:24 yep, sounds good 06:37:46 but did I miss any points from the earlier discussion? 06:39:00 mfabian: any comments? 06:39:12 some of main pieces I am seeing are: 06:39:28 - more use of kbd layout meta-data 06:39:45 - need for ibus input mode icon 06:40:13 tagoh_: no idea for comments at the moment. 06:40:38 how is the schedule for gnome 3.12? 06:40:48 or 3.11 06:41:40 https://wiki.gnome.org/ThreePointEleven/ 06:42:43 the end of March next year? 06:44:27 a bit late to propose any features for 3.12 perhaps? dunno 06:45:06 dunno if this counts as a new feature 06:45:09 yes 06:45:32 perhaps we even might need to target gnome 3.14 06:45:52 or perhaps some initial work could be done this time dunno 06:46:16 maybe. anyway we need to have a consensus for this feature before talking to gnome people about it 06:46:46 I reported 2 bugs about that ime indicator in gnome recently. 06:47:07 okay let me move it to a wiki page and try to structure the ideas more 06:48:09 juhp: sure. so shall we start a discussion based on it in next meeting then? 06:48:18 okay 06:50:02 okay, let's move on then. 06:50:08 #info #25: Bugs Corner (i18n@lists.fedoraproject.org) 06:50:08 #link https://fedorahosted.org/i18n/ticket/25 06:50:28 any bugs we want to share/discuss today? 06:51:17 . bug 919861 06:51:21 epico: Bug 919861 "/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-wqy-zenhei.conf" is forcing Chinese locale user to use font "WenQuanYi Zen Hei" for non-Chinese characters. - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=919861 06:51:32 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711000 <- maybe that bug would cause a problem when there is only one input source (only kkc), because then one cannot switch to another input source and back. 06:52:35 mfabian: aha 06:53:14 juhp: summary on ticket looks good now 06:53:21 how about to try to prepend an English font by tweaking dejavu-sans-fonts? 06:53:23 thanks 06:54:26 mfabian, okay but that is bug :) 06:54:28 epico: how? can you explain more? 06:55:59 juhp: Yes, that is just a bug of course, which should be fixed. But maybe your idea makes it a little bit more important to fix that bug. 06:56:03 tagoh_, http://pwu.fedorapeople.org/fonts/pango/32-dejavu.conf 06:56:12 mfabian, yeah 06:56:26 I think I can disable it by default, but mention it to users. 06:56:39 if he wants, he can enable it. 06:59:07 epico: well, as I said in the comment earlier, this is a kinda application bug I'd say. it would be if it claims "wqy fonts is used for non Chinese *locale*", but not *characters*. only applications knows what characters they are requesting a font to render for. 07:00:02 epico: that may works in some cases, but may makes a problem in some cases as well. 07:00:36 tagoh_, yes, that is why I want to disable it by default. the users can enable it, then report bugs... 07:00:59 epico: you could introduce that workaround for the reporter but looks not the right direction to fix. better reassigning to the problematic application instead. 07:01:00 or disable it, it will benefits gnome mostly. 07:01:32 epico: why does that benefit gnome mostly? 07:01:50 tagoh_, that user uses gnome, gnome can handle the font fall back mechanism. 07:02:09 http://pwu.fedorapeople.org/fonts/pango/before%20change.png 07:02:14 http://pwu.fedorapeople.org/fonts/pango/after%20change.png 07:03:33 tagoh_, maybe pango? 07:03:49 epico: known issue yes 07:03:59 okay, I see 07:04:10 known issue... 07:07:20 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481210 07:07:22 maybe this one 07:07:37 thanks 07:07:56 By the way, while trying to reproduce the mr and or rendering problems in the search box in libreoffice, I found that pasting with the middle mouse button from the main buffer to the search box often looses some characters (C-c C-v works). Is pasting with middle mouse supposed to work? I.e. is that a bug? 07:08:39 hmm 07:09:05 I suppose that should works 07:09:19 tagoh_: Then I’ll report it ... 07:09:19 sounds like a bug 07:09:28 juhp: yeah 07:10:28 okay, anything else? 07:11:46 Ah, I have a question about sd 07:12:07 $ locale -a | grep ^sd 07:12:08 sd_IN 07:12:08 sd_IN.utf8 07:12:08 sd_IN.utf8@devanagari 07:12:11 sd_IN@devanagari 07:12:14 07:12:16 Which one should be default? 07:12:20 Devanagari script? 07:13:02 pravins, ? 07:13:09 $ LANG=sd_IN.UTF-8 date 07:13:09 ٻُڌرُ نومبر 6 08:12:30 CET 2013 07:13:09 07:13:16 $ LANG=sd_IN.UTF-8@devanagari date 07:13:17 ॿुधरू नवंबरू 6 08:12:47 CET 2013 07:13:17 07:14:03 sd-inscript.mim and sd-inscript2-deva.mim both use devanagari 07:16:43 default may be where sd_IN points to? 07:17:13 I mean which locale should be choosen by default if the user selects Sindhi in anaconda. 07:17:38 sd_IN.UTF-8 (which uses Arabic script) or sd_IN.UTF-8@devanagari (which uses devanagari script) 07:17:39 not sure whether sindhi is written using Devanagari 07:18:09 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindhi_language says both Arabic script and Devanagari script is possible. 07:18:27 I have a feeling it might be close call 07:18:40 yeah 07:18:51 Arabic seems more common, but the only input methods we have use devanagari. 07:18:57 hmm 07:19:11 Maybe that is because for Arabic script, a keyboard layout is sufficient? I am not sure. 07:19:18 could be 07:19:37 Pravin might know more - iirc he created the locale 07:19:39 I just started wondering about that when adding the default input method information to langtable. 07:19:48 aha! 07:19:50 nice 07:20:10 mfabian, maybe all else failing default to Arabic? dunno 07:20:36 Copied "m17n:sd:inscript" as the default input method from gnome, noticed that this uses devanagari but the current default locale for Sindhi in langtable uses Arabic, which might be not nice. 07:20:57 mfabian: Arabic should be default 07:21:02 in the long term such cases might need to be split perhaps - probably can worry more about it later 07:21:11 Official script as per Govt of India is Arabic 07:21:16 aha 07:21:23 Still there is number of people uses Devanagari for this Sindhi language 07:21:24 Does it make sense to have "m17n:sd:inscript" as a default input method then? 07:21:54 mfabian: problem from our side is, we do not have much resources for Arabic 07:22:01 Should an Arabic keyboard layout be used by default for Sindhi? 07:22:27 it should be as per locale, right? 07:22:46 I guess Urdu uses Arabic - does it have its own layout/map? 07:23:03 yes, Urdu does have 07:23:15 mfabian, or maybe in long term need choice 07:23:33 Yes, maybe there should be 2 choices for Sindhi in langtable. 07:23:47 mfabian: yeah, one for Arabic and one for Devanagari 07:23:49 wouldn't be the problem rather it is just a variant of sd_IN locale? do we support the variant? 07:23:53 Just like for Serbian, which can be written in Latin or Cyrillic script. 07:23:59 yes 07:24:13 yes, this is generic case for most of the locales 07:24:40 so we should define one protocol for this 07:24:59 in gnome language selection, if particular language has translations it get listed there 07:25:17 else gnome language selection does not list it 07:25:21 likewise something? 07:25:34 We have very little translations for Sindhi, apparently. 07:27:25 mfabian: yeah, not active community around it :( 07:28:14 if we have a task to do something for this, maybe good to have a milestone for future release of fedora perhaps? 07:29:15 mfabian: yeah, i think we need policy for this 07:29:41 i think we need to list locales in both scripts.. 07:30:22 Yes, I’ll do it the same way as for Serbian then. I didn’t notice until now, as there are no translations yet, anaconda does not list it anyway at the moment. 07:31:26 yes 07:33:18 maybe good to discuss more as separate topic if necessary 07:33:40 #topic Open Floor 07:34:22 running out of time. so let's stop here if no urgent 07:36:17 okay 07:36:19 thanks everyone for the meeting! 07:36:23 Great meeting. ;) 07:36:24 :) tagoh_ , thank you for chairing and sending positive Fedora energy to everyone's computers now. :) 07:36:40 #endmeeting
