Fix double entry in database for Central Pame #1

Open icarito opened 8 years ago

icarito commented 8 years ago

I happened to look in the mail archives of a list that is no longer operating. It used to be used to track commits to the old (gitorious) repo from the old Pootle instance.

http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/pootle-commits/2014-May/date.html

If you look at the first bunch of lines, you can see that I made a sweep of a lot of projects in lang-pbs and committed the PO files to gitorious. If you open one of them, you'll see a link to the actual commit in the repo, which is still running.

As a worst case scenario, we can recover most (if not all) of the work done in the OLPC Mexico languages like lang-pbs by going into the gitorious repo and pulling the relevant PO files out of the tree and uploading them to the new instance as a merge. A quick refresh of the templates and a little fill-in of newly added strings and most will be good as new.

I haven't checked them all, but I remember trying to make sure that these languages were getting regular commits to gitorious, so hopefully we've captured most of the work in a form that is still on-line, without need to remount old Pootle back-ups.

We should discuss next steps in the recovery effort so we don't have wasted effort and we have a clear plan of who is going to do what.

Can we change the name of Central Pame to

Xi'úi (Central Pame)

I tried to do it, but got a server error.

This double entry in the database was likely introduced by yourself when you tried to change the name of the language. As has been documented, Pootle is prone to this kind of issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/translate/mailman/message/34144008/ Will fix on a best effort basis but we need to priorize.
