Dear translators!
I want to start this thread by apologizing in advance as we I didn’t plan thoroughly. We had not made a gimp-3-0
branch because I wanted to experiment something new where we would not have to maintain 2 branches at all time. I was hoping we would release GIMP 3.2 soon enough that we wouldn’t need the parallel stable branch.
Well it turned out we want to release a new stable 3.0 release because too many bug fixes accumulated (and some bugs are kinda ugly). So we created the gimp-3-0
branch, I backported as many bug fixes as possible there, and part of the localization commits, but I stopped backporting these at the point where the master
branch started having too much new code (hence changed strings).
We are therefore hoping to release GIMP 3.0.6 in 2 weeks time. We know it’s short, though hopefully the strings may have not changed too much since 3.0.4. Also as I said, we have some really ugly bugs, such as a crash making GIMP unusable on Windows when the system is set to specific language (such as Norwegian Bokmål or Turkish). This is why the delay is short as we want to avoid postponing fixed builds for too long. Again, I apologize!
- Version: GIMP 3.0.6
- Planned release date: 2025-10-04
- Branch:
gimp-3-0
- Related report: Release GIMP 3.0.6 (#14947) · Issues · GNOME / GIMP · GitLab
Note that we are still mostly in string and feature freeze in this specific branch (unlike on master
).
P.S.: the po-windows-installer
has issue and this section is now showing yet on Damned Lies. It is under investigation.
P.P.S.: when backporting the initial state of the gimp-3-0
branch from master
, I did make a small scripted summary of how the localized strings changed since GIMP 3.0.4: Preparing GIMP 3.0.6 release (!2395) · Merge requests · GNOME / GIMP · GitLab
There are some new strings, but more importantly this backporting broke a few strings which used to be translated, essentially within the Histogram Editor (because of some strings changed after the new “unique color count” feature which was not backported). These breakage are in bg.po
, it.po
, ka.po
, nn.po
, sl.po
, uk.po
and zh_CN.po
, where you’ll want to revert these few strings:
#: app/widgets/gimphistogrameditor.c:136
msgid "Mean: "
msgstr "Media: "
#: app/widgets/gimphistogrameditor.c:137
msgid "Std dev: "
msgstr "Dev. std: "
#: app/widgets/gimphistogrameditor.c:138
msgid "Median: "
msgstr "Mediana: "
#: app/widgets/gimphistogrameditor.c:139
msgid "Pixels: "
msgstr "Pixel: "
#: app/widgets/gimphistogrameditor.c:140
msgid "Count: "
msgstr "Conteggio: "
#: app/widgets/gimphistogrameditor.c:141
msgid "Percentile: "
msgstr "Percentile:"
The fix is basically to remove the space after the colon, since that’s the main change which happened on master
(but should not have been backported to gimp-3-0
. Again, sorry for the mishap!
