Traducing PyFreeBilling for 2.0

Traducing PyFreeBilling for 2.0

The 2.0 beta version of PyFreeBilling has been published. As there are new features, new sentences have to be traduced. To be more effective, i migrate the traducing system to Transifex and invited the actual traducers to join the team. If you want to traduce or review, go here : https://www.transifex.com/celea-consulting/pyfreebilling/dashboard/ (The last service is no more in use). For the time…

Θέλω να μεταφράσω προγράμματα ΕΛΛΑΚ, αλλά δεν ξέρω που και πως…

Έστω ότι χρησιμοποιήσατε κάποιο πρόγραμμα ΕΛΛΑΚ και είτε σας άρεσε ώστε να θέλετε να συνεισφέρετε και εσείς στην κοινότητα, είτε βρήκατε κάποιο ορθογραφικό λάθος και θέλετε να το διορθώσετε. Δεν είστε προγραμματιστής (ή χάκερ όπως λένε μερικοί), οπότε η μετάφραση είναι ίσως η πιο απλή συνεισφορά σας. (more…)

Dispatches from development: Beta, week 1

Peerio has been out for a week, and what a week it's been! With over 7000 users and coverage in Wired and PCWorld, we have been flooded with requests ranging from "How can I pay for this?" to dozens of tickets on Github. We are absolutely thrilled to be getting this much attention, and we are committed to being responsive to community input as we continue to develop our application. With that in mind, we want to do a quick review of our intentions and goals in this open beta phase.

Why a beta?

We wanted to conduct an open beta for a number of reasons: Firstly, we wanted to make sure we had an idea and product that people wanted to use. We wanted to get a sense of how and why people would use the app, and thus understand in what directions to eventually head when developing new features. As developers and as users of software, we are concerned with making sure that we are addressing real needs not just scratching our own backs. Secondly, we wanted to open up our crypto code for community scrutiny and validation as quickly as possible. Finally, we know that no matter how much we may test and demonstrate our software internally, nothing can compete with real users in terms of understanding how a complex system behaves.

What happens now?

The practical goals of our open beta are twofold. Our first target is maturity. We are currently focused on finding and fixing bugs, improving usability, and stabilizing our systems. During the beta period we will be: commissioning another security audit; thoroughly monitoring usage and identifying bottlenecks in our servers; and fine-tuning user experience and design with your feedback. Our second target is mobile support. We know no communications platform is complete if it exists only on the desktop. Our clients for iOS and Android are in development, and we are working hard towards a release.

After beta

What's next on the roadmap? Once we are sure our system is as stable as any software system can possibly be, and we have a mobile client we are happy with, we will be looking at new feature development, as well as opening up paid plans for individuals as well as groups.

How can you help?

A number of people have asked how they can contribute, and the answer is simple: You can use the app, and tell anyone you share confidential information with to use it too! The most valuable thing we can have right now is people using the application and letting us know what improvements can be made. If you experience problems, you can let us know by either contacting our support staff, or by creating a Github issue. You are also, of course, welcome to contribute directly to the development of Peerio. You can do this by submitting a pull request on Github, or by submitting copy in whichever language(s) you speak on Transifex (you don't need to be a developer to do this!).

Thank you!

We want to thank everyone who has blogged, tweeted, submitted a ticket, translated copy, or gotten in touch already. We deeply appreciate your support, as well as your feedback and criticism. We hope that you'll continue to use our product and that it will be better thanks to you. -Florencia Hera-Vega

Transifex and TheFamily

If you know TheFamily, you must have heard the following line a few times: One of our missions is to build Unfair Advantages for startups.

Entrepreneurs must be able to dedicate themselves to their product and value proposition. For each subject diverting them from their focus, we offer a solution. That’s why we’ve been building partnerships with great companies that provide useful services for web and tech startups: hosting / e-mailing / SEO / testing / design / payment / B2B database, and many other fields.

Transifex is one of these companies that understand the importance of helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses. Because their service offers real value for our startups, we’re very happy to partner with them!

Our startups are global from day one; they need to adapt to each market both in terms of language and usability. For a company that is constantly tweaking its product and updating its code, being able to integrate localization into the product development process and have translations happen concurrently is huge. And this is exactly what Transifex does!

Transifex’s SaaS continuous localization platform enables the launch of products with rapid development cycles into multiple languages, while giving startups full control of the localization process from start to finish.

In more concrete terms, Transifex is the repository for all the startup’s content – strings, app store description, video subtitles, documentation, etc. – and provides a translation editor where professional and community translators work. And it features – among other developer-friendly tools – a RESTful API and Git-like command-line client to get content automatically into Transifex.

Today, Transifex has more then 75,000 users and helps over 7,000 projects. Customers of Transifex include Prezi, Dailymotion, Eventbrite, Waze, and now TheFamily’s startups!

Transifex Exception: 400: Error compiling the translation file

transifex.exceptions.TransifexAPIException: 400: Error compiling the translation file

If you are trying to download a translation using Transifex graphic interface or pulling them down using manage.py tx pull_translations and you are getting an error like:

transifex.exceptions.TransifexAPIException: 400: Error compiling the translation file: ‘ascii’ codec can’t encode character u’\u2019’ in position 9017: ordinal not in range(128)

You should set the variable LC_ALL to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile.

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8

Instead of setting that to your shell you can also set it on your Gunicorn settings.

environment=LC_ALL='en_US.UTF-8'

Cheers.
