== Translating with Pootle ==
===Pootle tips===
To speed up your translation process follow these tips:
====Interface Customization====
Enter at ''My account'' and then at ''Change options''.
Set these values:
=== Pootle for translators ===
*Number of rows in translate mode = 1
*Number of rows in view mode = 5
*Input Height (in lines) = 10
You can select your language and projects to see shortcuts at your home page.
====Untranslated words====
First login at Pootle, then click ''Show Editing Functions'' and finally at ''Quick Translate'' for each file or whole language.
Also you can see the suggestions clicking at ''Review Suggestions''.
====Translation Memory====
You can use the matching translations from the Pootle right side ''related'' strings to speed up the translation process. Make the necessary fixes for the non matching strings.
====Checks before finish your work====
We generate daily a consistency verification,it´s available on http://translate.contribs.org/errors/
Please run these checks before conclude your work:
Please run these checks before conclude your work:
Under the language of your choice at root level project, click at '''"Show Editing Functions"''' and then '''"Show Checks"''' to see a list of syntax errors.
Under the language of your choice at root level project, click at ''Show Editing Functions'' and then ''Show Checks'' to see a list of syntax errors.
See http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/guide/pofilter_examples and http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/guide/translation/commonerrors
See http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/guide/pofilter_examples and http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/guide/translation/commonerrors
It is clear that certain syntax errors will always be due to differences in languages. For example a question in English carries only the symbol of closure (?) while in Spanish also carries the opening (¿).
{{Note box|We need to make consistent translations. The system detect some consistence errors for all languages. You can check http://translate.contribs.org/errors/ and see your language errors. Please fix the inconsistency errors}}

====Considerations====
*Do not use colloquial terms. Only formal XXX-LANG.
*Please '''DON'T''' use automatic nor machine generated translations. These are '''BAD''' quality. Leave human translators them make its work!
*Review the orthographic errors. A very simple way is to use Firefox with the installed XXX-LANG dictionary.
*Verify the translation in the context.
*Not to be brief words. Ej. "Ud." instead of "Usted" (Spanish example)
*The subscripts "_" in Pootle indicate a space in target.
*Not to add capital letters in where in English they are not it. Ej. "Web page" must be translated like "Página web" and not like "Página Web" (Spanish example). The intention is to translate and not to invent. For it we must be exact although it demands much greater time the translation.
*Any discussion or doubts or interchange of ideas can be made at the tab "discussion" in the top part of this page. Indent the answers adding two points at the beginning of each new line.
*IMPORTANT. If at the moment of an installation or modification of the adjustments of SME Server it detects an inexact translation or that one does not adjust to the context, please, takes note precise from the same one and in where it found it, soon to correct it. If you want you can fix at http://translate.contribs.org. Does not let save the opportunity to correct.
==== Pootle tips ====
==Changing the Server Language==
To speed up your translation process follow these tips:
===Server-Manager===
Change the language the panel is in by changing your browser default language
For Firefox currently it is: Preferences, content, Languages.
===Console===
'''For Centos 6 i.e. SME9, and older versions'''
Edit the first two lines in /etc/sysconfig/i18n
#nano -w /etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG="en_US"
SUPPORTED="en_US:en" (maybe not needed, doesn't exist by default)
issue a db command
config setprop sysconfig Language sv_SE
'''For CentOS 7 and SME 10'''
List available keymaps starting with 'us' :
#localectl list-keymaps | grep ^us
To permanently change the keymap on CentOS 7 to e.g. the US keymap run the '''localectl''' command:
#localectl set-keymap us
To confirm your permanent keymap settings execute the localectl command without any arguments.

===Keyboard===
Issue a db command

The above command, and editing /etc/sysconfig/i18n doesn't completely fix the keyboard.
==Pootle for Developers==
Lexicons for rpms in smecontribs and smeserver are automatically added to Pootle.

You then apply this to the rpm to add the new translations or update the existing ones.

Language rpms for the base rpms are generated less frequently.
If you would like to check your translating work you can apply the daily patch to the smeserver-locale .src.rpm to create your own rpm. Everyone has read access to smeserver cvs and you would basically follow the instructions at [[:Package_Modification]], ask if you need help.
* Every time you modify, add to or remove strings from the English locale file, just re-commit to cvs. There is a daily update to apply cvs changes to Pootle
*The English locale file is used as the Pootle template. Other languages are edited/translated at Pootle.
* <nowiki>Make your original FM file XML strict. Always close the opened tags (<i>...</i>). Use the same caps for tags (<b> is not equal to <B>). </nowiki>
