Further Ubuntu Accomplishments Progress

by | Thu 12 Apr 2012

Another quick update of [Ubuntu Accomplishments](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accomplishments).

Recently I split out the two different pieces of the project (the back-end daemon and the GUI client) into two different branches. With the two branches this then put us in a position to use `quickly package` to generate packages for the applications (I had problems with `quickly package` when the daemon and GUI shared the same branch as the daemon uses Twisted (glib) and the GUI uses GTK3 (GObject Introspection)).

I originally had a few issues with some path-related problems, but I now have working packages for the daemon, the GUI, and the Ubuntu Community accomplishments set that you can use the system with. Thanks to *Daniel Holbach* for helping with some of these path-issues in the code.

This means we are now in a position to start generating packages in a PPA. This puts us in a strong position to deliver the 0.1 release as planned near the 12.04 release date. Before we do this though, the next step is working through the [0.1 bugs list](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-accomplishments/+milestone/0.1) to get everything rock solid. 🙂

In other news, recently I had a [call for localized documentation](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/2012/04/07/translation-help-needed-how-to-translate-ubuntu-accomplishments/) of the Ubuntu Community accomplishments. The Germans had the first fully translated set of documentation, and this has been closely followed by localized documention in *Romanian, Italian*, and *Spanish*, with *Swedish, Brazilian Portuguese, Albanian*, and *Polish* not far behind!

I also had a [call for translations for the daemon and viewer](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/2012/04/09/ubuntu-accomplishments-localized-documentation-update/). We now have full translations for the daemon in *Swedish, Spanish, Slovenian, Portuguese, Polish, Marathi, French, Danish, Portuguese* and *Arabic* with *Albanian* not far behind, and translations for the viewer in *Japanese* and *Simplfied Chinese* with *Spanish, Swedish, Swedish, Portuguese, Polish, French, Danish, Arabic*, and *Slovenian* not far behind.

If you can help with translations, head over to these links to translate the system into your language:

* [Click here to translate the Ubuntu Accomplishments viewer into your language](https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-accomplishments-viewer/trunk)!

You can also create localized documentation for the different accomplishments by [following these guidelines](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/2012/04/07/translation-help-needed-how-to-translate-ubuntu-accomplishments/).
