         <source>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Note about Octave&apos;s New GUI&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the biggest new features for Octave 3.8 is a graphical user interface.  It is the one thing that users have requested most often over the last few years and now it is almost ready.  But because it is not quite as polished as we would like, we have decided to wait until the 4.0.x release series before making the GUI the default interface.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Given the length of time and the number of bug fixes and improvements since the last major release, we also decided against delaying the release of all these new improvements any longer just to perfect the GUI.  So please enjoy the 3.8 release of Octave and the preview of the new GUI.  We believe it is working reasonably well, but we also know that there are some obvious rough spots and many things that could be improved.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We Need Your Help&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many ways that you can help us fix the remaining problems, complete the GUI, and improve the overall user experience for both novices and experts alike (links will open an external browser):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you are a skilled software developer, you can help by contributing your time to help &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/get-involved.html&quot;&gt;develop Octave&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If Octave does not work properly, you are encouraged to &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/bugs.html&quot;&gt;report problems &lt;/a&gt; that you find.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Whether you are a user or developer, you can &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/donate.html&quot;&gt;help to fund the project&lt;/a&gt;.

         <translation>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Нататка пра новы GUI Octave&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Адна з найбольшых адметнасцяў Octave 3.8 - графічны інтэрфэйс.  Карыстальнікі апошнімі гадамі прасілі яго найбольш часта, і нарэшце ён амаль гатовы.  Але ён пакуль не такі дасканалы, як бы мы жадалі, таму мы вырашылі пачакаць выпуску з серыі 4.0.x перад тым, як рабіць яго стандартным.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Да таго ж, улічваючы час і колькасць выпраўленняў і паляпшэнняў у параўнанні з апошнім буйным выпускам Octave, мы вырашылі затрымліваць новы выпуск толькі дзеля ўдасканалення GUI, не зважаючы на новыя магчымасці.  Таму прыемнага вам карстання выпускам 3.8 і першай версіяй новага інтэрфэйсу.  Нам здаецца, ён працуе даволі добра, але мы ведаем, што ёсць некаторыя відавочныя грубыя недарэчнасці і шмат чаго, што можна палепшыць.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Нам патрабуецца ваша дапамога&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ёсць шмат спосабаў, якімі вы можаце дапамагчы нам выправіць праблемы, што яшчэ засталіся, скончыць GUI і палепшыць агульнае уражанне як для новых карыстальнікаў, так і для экспертаў (спасылкі адкрыюцца ў знешнім браўзэры):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Калі вы спрактыкаваны распрацоўнік праграм, то можаце выдаткаваць час, каб дапамагчы ў &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/get-involved.html&quot;&gt;распрацоўцы Octave&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Калі Octave працуе з памылкамі, вы можаце &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/bugs.html&quot;&gt;паведаміць пра праблемы&lt;/a&gt;, з якімі сутыкнуліся.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Няхай вы хоць карыстальнік, хоць распрацоўнік, вы можаце &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/donate.html&quot;&gt;прафундаваць праект&lt;/a&gt;.  Распрацоўка Octave патрабуе шмат часу і навыкаў.  Ваш удзел дапаможа гарантаваць, што Octave і надалей будзе ўдасканальвацца.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Спадзяемся, вы знойдзеце Octave карыснай.  Калі ласка, дапамажыце нам зрабіць яго лепшым для будучыні!&lt;/p&gt;</translation>

         <translation>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Einige Hinweise zur neuen Octave GUI&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eine der größten Neuerungen von Octave 3.8 ist die grafische Benutzerschnittstelle (GUI).  Sie ist das, worum die Nutzer in den letzten Jahren am häufigsten gebeten haben, und nun ist sie fast fertig.  Aber weil noch der Feinschliff fehlt, haben wir beschlossen, mit der GUI als Standard-Benutzerschnittstelle auf die 4.0.x Veröffentlichungen zu warten.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Anbetracht der vergangenen Zeit, der Anzahl der behobenen Fehler und den Verbesserungen seit der letzten Veröffentlichung haben wir uns dazu entschieden, die nächste Veröffentlichung nicht weiter zu verzögern, nur um die GUI zu perfektionieren.  Daher wünschen wir viel Spaß mit der Version 3.8 von Octave und der Vorschau auf die neue GUI.  Wir sind der Meinung, dass sie schon ziemlich gut funktioniert, obwohl uns bewusst ist, dass es noch einige Ecken und Kanten sowie viele Dinge zu verbessern gibt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deshalb brauchen wir Deine Mithilfe!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten uns zu helfen die verbleibenden Probleme zu beheben, die GUI weiter zu entwickeln und die Benutzererfahrung für Neulinge und Experten gleichermaßen zu verbessern (Links öffnen im externen Browser):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Falls Du ein geschickter Software-Entwickler bist, kannst du helfen, indem du dich an der &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/get-involved.html&quot;&gt;Weiterentwicklung von Octave&lt;/a&gt; beteiligst.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sollte Octave einmal nicht wie erwartet funktionieren, solltest Du das gefundene &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/bugs.html&quot;&gt;Problem melden&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Egal, ob Du Anwender oder Entwickler bist, kannst du &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/donate.html&quot;&gt;helfen, das Projekt zu finanzieren&lt;/a&gt;.  Die Weiterentwicklung von Octave braucht viel Zeit und Sachverstand.  Dein Beitrag hilft sicherzustellen, dass Octave weiter verbessert wird.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wir hoffen, dass du Octave nützlich findest.  Bitte hilf uns Octave zukünftig noch besser zu machen!&lt;/p&gt;</translation>

         <translation>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nota acerca de la nueva GUI de Octave&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Una de las novedades más grandes de Octave 3.8 es la interfaz gráfica de usuario.  Esto ha sido algo que los usuarios han solicitado frecuentemente durante los últimos años, y ahora está casi lista. Pero como esta interfaz aún no está tan pulida como a nosotros nos gustaría, hemos decidido esperar hasta la serie de versiones 4.0.x de Octave para hacer a la GUI la interfaz por defecto.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dado el tiempo transcurrido, el número de correcciones de errores del software (bugs) y el número de mejoras desde la última versión mayor de Octave, también hemos decidido retrasar el lanzamiento de todas estas nuevas mejoras durante más tiempo con el fin de perfeccionar la GUI.  Disfrute de la versión 3.8 de Octave y la versión previa de la nueva GUI.  Creemos que está funcionando razonablemente bien, pero también somos conscientes de que existen muchas cosas que se pueden mejorar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Necesitamos su ayuda&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hay varias maneras mediante las cuales usted nos puede ayudar a arreglar errores, completar la GUI y, en general, mejorar la experiencia del usuario, ya sean novatos o expertos (los enlaces se abrirán en un navegador externo):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Si usted es un desarrollador de software experimentado, puede contribuir con su tiempo para ayudar &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/get-involved.html&quot;&gt;Desarrollo de Octave&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Si Octave no funciona adecuadamente, se le invita a  &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/bugs.html&quot;&gt;reportar problemas &lt;/a&gt; que haya encontrado.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Si usted es usuario o desarrollador, puede &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/donate.html&quot;&gt;ayudar a financiar el proyecto&lt;/a&gt;.  El desarrollo de Octave necesita tiempo y conocimientos. Su contribución ayudaría en gran medida a asegurar que Octave continúe mejorando.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Esperamos que haya encontrado Octave muy útil. Por favor, ¡ayúdenos a hacerlo aún mejor en el futuro!&lt;/p&gt;</translation>

         <translation>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note à propos du nouveau GUI d&apos;Octave&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Parmi les nouvelles fonctionnalités d&apos;Ocatve 3.8, l&apos;interface graphique est une grande évolution. C&apos;est bien la fonctionnalité que les utilisateurs ont le plus réclamée durant les dernières années, et elle est maintenant presque prête. Elle n&apos;est pas aussi parfaite que nous le souhaiterions et c&apos;est pourquoi nous avons décidé d&apos;attendre la version 4.0 pour en faire l&apos;interface par défaut.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Au vu du nombre de bug résolus et des améliorations apportées depuis la dernière version majeure d&apos;Octave, nous avons décidé  de ne pas retarder plus la parution de ces améliorations pour perfectionner le GUI. Vous pouvez maintenant apprécier la version 3.8 et la version préliminaire de la nouvelle interface graphique. Nous pensons qu&apos;elle fonctionne raisonnablement bien, mais nous savons aussi qu&apos;il y a des points durs évidents et beaucoup d&apos;améliorations possibles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nous avons besoin de votre aide&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Il y a de multiples manières d&apos;aider à résoudre les bogues restants, à terminer le GUI et à améliorer l&apos;expérience utilisateur aussi bien pour les novices que pour les experts (liens ouverts dans un navigateur externe):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Si vous êtes un développeur  expérimenté, vous pouvez donner de votre temps et &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/get-involved.html&quot;&gt;développer Octave&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Si Octave ne fonctionne pas correctement, vous êtes encouragés à &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/bugs.html&quot;&gt;signaler les problèmes &lt;/a&gt; que vous trouvez.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Que vous soyez utilisateur ou développeur, vous pouvez &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/donate.html&quot;&gt;aider à financer le projet&lt;/a&gt;.

         <translation>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Een opmerking over Octave&apos;s Nieuwe GUI&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Een van de belangrijkste nieuwe kenmerken van Octave 3.8 is een grafische user interface (GUI).  Dat is waar de gebruikers de afgelopen jaren het meest om gevraagd hebben en hij is bijna af.  Maar omdat hij nog niet zo gepolijst is als we zouden willen hebben we besloten te wachten tot de versie 4.0 serie voordat we hem de standaard interface maken.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vanwege de lange tijd en het aantal bug fixes en verbeteringen sinds de laatste major release versie hebben we ook besloten om niet langer meer te wachten op de GUI om al die verbeteringen door te voeren.  Dus geniet van Octave versie 3.8 en de preview van de nieuwe GUI.  We denken dat hij redelijk goed werkt, maar natuurlijk weten we dat er nog ruwe kantjes aan zitten en ruimte voor verbeteringen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We hebben je hulp nodig&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Er zijn veel manieren waarop je ons kunt helpen de overgebleven problemen te verhelpen, de GUI te completeren, en de gebruikerservaring voor nieuwelingen en experts (de URLs openen een nieuwe browser):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Als je een bekwame ontwikkelaar bent kun je ons helpen door bij te dragen &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/get-involved.html&quot;&gt;develop Octave&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Als Octave niet goed wekt raden we je aan om &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/bugs.html&quot;&gt;de problemen te rapporteren &lt;/a&gt; die je tegen komt.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Of je nu gebruiker of ontwikkelaar bent, je kunt ook &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/donate.html&quot;&gt;een bijdrage geven&lt;/a&gt;.  De ontwikkeling van Octave vraagt een hoop tijd en expertise.  Je bijdrage helpt er aan mee dat Octave verbeterd blijft worden.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We hopen dat je Octave nuttig vindt.  Help alsjeblieft om het in de toekomst nog beter te maken!&lt;/p&gt;</translation>

It is the one thing that users have requested most often over the last few years and now it is almost ready.  But because it is not quite as polished as we would like, we have decided to wait until the 4.0.x release series before making the GUI the default interface.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Given the length of time and the number of bug fixes and improvements since the last major release, we also decided against delaying the release of all these new improvements any longer just to perfect the GUI.  So please enjoy the 3.8 release of Octave and the preview of the new GUI.  We believe it is working reasonably well, but we also know that there are some obvious rough spots and many things that could be improved.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We Need Your Help&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many ways that you can help us fix the remaining problems, complete the GUI, and improve the overall user experience for both novices and experts alike (links will open an external browser):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you are a skilled software developer, you can help by contributing your time to help &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/get-involved.html&quot;&gt;develop Octave&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If Octave does not work properly, you are encouraged to &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/bugs.html&quot;&gt;report problems &lt;/a&gt; that you find.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Whether you are a user or developer, you can &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/donate.html&quot;&gt;help to fund the project&lt;/a&gt;.  Octave development takes a lot of time and expertise.  Your contributions help to ensure that Octave will continue to improve.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We hope you find Octave to be useful.  Please help us make it even better for the future!&lt;/p&gt;</source>
-        <translation>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Um aviso sobre a nova interface gráfica do Octave&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Uma das funcionalidades novas mais importantes no Octave versão 3.8 é a interface gráfica (GUI).  É uma coisa que os usuários solicitaram muito frequentemente durante os últimos anos, e agora ela está quase pronta.  Mas como ela não está tão bem acabada quanto gostaríamos, decidimos esperar até a próxima versão 4.0 antes de tornar a GUI a interface padrão do Octave.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dado o tempo transcorrido e o número de correções e melhorias desde a última versão do Octave, também decidimos não adiar mais o lançamento de todas essas novidades, ao invés ficar aperfeiçoando a GUI.  Portanto, aproveite a versão 3.8 do Octave e a prévia da nova GUI!  Acreditamos que ela está funcionando razoavelmente bem, apesar de alguns aspectos obviamente inacabados, além de muitas melhorias possíveis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ajude-nos&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Há muitas formas de você nos ajudar a corrigir os problemas que persistirem, a finalizar a GUI e a melhorar a usabilidade do Octave em geral, tanto para usuários iniciantes quanto experientes (os links abaixo serão abertos no seu navegador do sistema; o conteúdo poderá estar em inglês):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Se você for um desenvolvedor de software habilidoso, ajude-nos contribuindo com seu tempo, auxiliando no &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/get-involved.html&quot;&gt;desenvolvimento do Octave&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Se o Octave não estiver funcionando corretamente, convidamos-lhe a &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/bugs.html&quot;&gt;relatar os problemas&lt;/a&gt; que vier a encontrar.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quer você seja um usuário ou um desenvolvedor, você poderia &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/donate.html&quot;&gt;fazer uma doação&lt;/a&gt; para auxiliar no financiamento do projeto.  Afinal, o desenvolvimento do Octave demanda tempo e conhecimento consideráveis.  A sua generosidade contribui para assegurar que o Octave continuará a ser melhorado.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Esperamos que você goste do Octave.  Ajude-nos a torná-lo ainda melhor no seu futuro!&lt;/p&gt;</translation>

         <source>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Note about Octave&apos;s New GUI&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the biggest new features for Octave 3.8 is a graphical user interface.  It is the one thing that users have requested most often over the last few years and now it is almost ready.  But because it is not quite as polished as we would like, we have decided to wait until the 4.0.x release series before making the GUI the default interface.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Given the length of time and the number of bug fixes and improvements since the last major release, we also decided against delaying the release of all these new improvements any longer just to perfect the GUI.  So please enjoy the 3.8 release of Octave and the preview of the new GUI.  We believe it is working reasonably well, but we also know that there are some obvious rough spots and many things that could be improved.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We Need Your Help&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many ways that you can help us fix the remaining problems, complete the GUI, and improve the overall user experience for both novices and experts alike (links will open an external browser):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you are a skilled software developer, you can help by contributing your time to help &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/get-involved.html&quot;&gt;develop Octave&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If Octave does not work properly, you are encouraged to &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/bugs.html&quot;&gt;report problems &lt;/a&gt; that you find.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Whether you are a user or developer, you can &lt;a href=&quot;http://octave.org/donate.html&quot;&gt;help to fund the project&lt;/a&gt;.  Octave development takes a lot of time and expertise.  Your contributions help to ensure that Octave will continue to improve.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We hope you find Octave to be useful.
