Contributors

[cschramm]

The about dialog contains a list of contributors. We should either drop it (not so nice) or (constantly) update it to include (at least) all GitHub and Transifex contributors. Also it's questionable if the Launchpad list is up to date.

@stefano-k Is there an easy way to get such a list out of Transifex?

[stefano-k]

@cschramm usually with GTK applications, only translators for current language are shown in about window, just translating the "translator-credits" string

[cschramm]

Cool, that should be fine. This should also include the translators from the older Launchpad project, right?

I think git (including bzr history) contributors + translator-credits is the best to go then.

[stefano-k]

translator-credits is just a string in the po file, I dont know if it is already defined in blueman, I should check
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkAboutDialog.html#gtk-about-dialog-set-translator-credits

[cschramm]

Oh, OK, I thought it was magic. 😆

Now I cant check the git repo, but it should be something like this:
https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-desktop/blob/master/mate-about/mate-about.c#L104
(with a comment before so it will be included in .pot file and shown on transifex to translators)
Once included, we can send a message to all translators in transifex to add their and other translators names on that string translation

[cschramm]

Yes, this is included in gui/CommonUi.py. It's also present in the translations, but I have no idea how current the entries are.
