Translating Quasar Framework Documentation To Arabic #8

Repository
Project Details
The Quasar Framework is a node.js command-line-interface and a vue.js component library for developing and publishing a website; for building and optimizing a progressive web-app, a way to make native apps for Linux, MacOS, and Windows with Electron; and even a system for creating mobile apps for Android and iOS with Cordova. It does all of this from one user-maintained code-base using tricks of the trade, best-practices and a curated selection of node modules. And it is 100% open source with a liberal MIT license. SOURCE
The quasar framework has joined forces with utopian and they are now technical partners, utopian is building the new front-end using quasar, and the two teams are helping each other, with that said and since our work here is supported by utopian, the translation teams are trying to help to localize the documentation of quasar to Arabic, Spanish, German and other languages.
Translation Overview
- This is my eighth and last contribution to this project.
- This project contains just one file with 4453 words, and it's all about the open source world, we can consider it as a guide for beginners, as it teaches a lot of stuff about the world of open sources software etc...
The strings I translated today, talk about Licensing artwork / design / video, and Font licenses.
in the strings, that talks about Licensing artwork/design/video there was a paragraph that talks about how to cite the author and the license in the open source community.
The citation can be done depending on where and how the contribution is to be used, and this is some of the ways that were mentioned in the paragraph:
- Put license information in a watermark in the file
- Inject the information into the metadata of the file
- Place license information or licenses and release form-cover-sheets in the repository in the same folder as the image or some other delegated location
in another paragraph, there was a mention of the most Common licenses to use for Images / Designs / Videos which are:
- Creative Commons

The strings that talks about font licenses, mentioned google fonts and the licenses used in those fonts which are:
- The Apache License v2
- SIL Open Font License v1.1 ( most of google fonts use this license )
The SIL Open Font License is a free and open source license designed for fonts by SIL International for use with many of their Unicode fonts, including Gentium Plus, Charis SIL, and Andika.
