How To Commit Translations via SVN

[Kizito Birabwa]

Hello,

I am currently the Luganda translation team. I have been given a developer account and so should be able to commit work into the svn repositories.

I would like some help for I have lost my way at some point.

I have the account with KDE Identity username and password (represented here as 'mykdeidentity' and 'mykdepasswd').
The command:

svn checkout --username mykdeidenty --password mykdepasswd svn://svn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/l10n-kf6/lg/messages messages
appeaed to work and created a working copy

However, when I tried to commit the changes that I had made, the command:

svn commit --username mykdeidenty  --password mykdepasswd

failed after I had completed the commit message in the editor that opened. The failure message was:

svn: E170001: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E170001: Authorization failed
svn: E170001: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn: E170001:    '/home/muwawa/nls/Ebikyusibwa/kde6/po/lg/messages/svn-commit.1.tmp'

I have searched for guidance online but have become thouroughly confused. The steps up to getting a developer account with the right permissions are clear. Also there is a lot showing the commands that have failed for me. However the bits in the middle, between getting the account and executing those commands are what I am struggling to find.

I hope someone can help and point me to some sort of step-by-step guide on how to set up committing to the kde svn.
