Hi

I have added a Norwegian translation to some of the xml files in the Gimp help-2. How to upload these files to the server? In the "tips for contributing" I'm told to send my files to the maintainer of the language, but could not find any for the Norwegian "no" and "nn" language files. Is there someone who has the time to do the work for me, or to tell me how to upload the files? If no one has changed the cvs files lately, i.e. later than January 4th, the toolbox map together with the "nn" image map are ready for uploading.

There are no "nn" in the po/mo maps. If it's necessary, I have an (nearly finished) translation for the "nn" po files.

(Norway is a little country, but we have 3 different language codes: "nb", "nn", and "no" with the latter as the general code for Norwegian. "nb" means Norwegian (bokmaal) and "nn" means Norwegian (nynorsk)).

Thank you for answering
"no" is the general lang code for Norwegian language in general. "nb" specifies the form of the norwegian language called "bokmaal" and "nn" is the lang code for another "dialect" of Norwegian called "nynorsk". Both languages are understanable to all norwegians. (Differ like Swedish and Danish perhaps). "nn" and "nb" differs and acts like different languages in lang codes. I found the "nb" and "no" in the configure.in file, but not "nn". For the help-2 files I have used "nn" and "nn". There are no need at the moment for the "nb" lang code in the help files untill someone writes the help in norwegian (bokmaal). I will check out the cvs if there are newer modifications and eventually recode and send the files tomorrow night. I am new to this game, and need some time to grab it all. How to create a patch file in Windows and so one....
Have a good night

I've read the wiki up and down together with endless attempts to write any suggestions on the command line on the WinCvs I'm using, but am not able to get any sense on how to make the patch file you mentioned. I assume I have to work online on the cvs server. But I am not able to find the right command to write on the command line. How is the command for creating a patch? I would like to upload the xml files (and image files too) for the toolbox map.

I'm using WinCvs and Windows XP if that matter.

I created a local copy of the cvs of course, but am not able to use it the same way I'm using WinCvs online. When I write the path to the root of the map, WinCvs adds a CVSROOT at the end, and as there are no such file in the maps the program greets me with an error message.

As you may see, I'm at total novice to this world of DocBook and similar. Lots of new stuff to learn!

As you already wrote Kolbj?rn, provide the translations for 'no'. I

don't think we want to provide the manual in different dialects of

norwegian, right?

Yes, you are right.

I my translation the 'nn' and 'no' files are exactly the same and I therefore have added the code lang='nn;no' instead of writing separate paragraphs for each. As I see they are doing no harm except for occupating some space. Opening for 'no' language will extract these files whatsoever.
