+
==Translating with Pootle==
−
Because we have detected some bad edits to the existing translated languages, we resolved to restrict direct translation at the Pootle. Instead of translate (Send) you can Suggest only, and a translator responsible accept or decline the suggestions.
+
SME Server supports more than a dozen languages. See http://translate.contribs.org/ for the current list.
  
−
If you want to be a language responsible, create a new bug [http://bugs.contribs.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=SME%20Server%20Translations&component=SME%20Server&version=7.3&short_desc=I%20want%20to%20be%20responsible%20translator%20of%20the%20(put%20the%20language%20here)%20language.&comment=My%20Pootle%20username%20is:%20 HERE]

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 (¿).

==== Pootle tips ====
+
====Considerations====
−
To speed up your translation process follow these tips:
+
−
 
+
*Do not use colloquial terms. Only formal XXX-LANG.
−
Enter at "My account" and then at "Change options".
+
*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.
−
Set these values:
+
*Verify the translation in the context.
−
 
+
*Not to be brief words. Ej. "Ud." instead of "Usted" (Spanish example)
−
*Number of rows in translate mode = 1
+
*The subscripts "_" in Pootle indicate a space in target.
−
*Number of rows in view mode = 5
+
*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.
−
*Input Height (in lines) = 10
+
*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.
  
−
You can select your language and projects to see shortcuts at your home page.
+
==Changing the Server Language==
 +
===Server-Manager===
 +
Change the language the panel is in by changing your browser default language
  
 +
For Firefox currently it is: Preferences, content, Languages.
  
−
=== Pootle for developers ===
 
−
Lexicons for rpms in smecontribs and smeserver are automatically added to Pootle.
 
−
 
−
A patch is automatically created at http://translate.contribs.org/patches/
 
−
You then apply this to the rpm to add the new translations or update the existing ones.
 
  
−
'''We need a few volunteers to apply these patches''', say weekly, or more or less as the need arises, it isn't difficult and we will guide you.
+
===Console===
 +
'''For Centos 6 i.e. SME9, and older versions'''
  
−
* The English locale file is used as the Pootle template. Other languages are edited/translated at Pootle.
+
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)
  
−
* 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
+
issue a db command
 +
config setprop sysconfig Language sv_SE
  
−
* <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>
 
  
 +
'''For CentOS 7 and SME 10'''
  
 +
List available keymaps starting with 'us' :
 +
#localectl list-keymaps | grep ^us
  
−
=== Considerations for XXX-LANGUAGE translators ===
+
To permanently change the keymap on CentOS 7 to e.g. the US keymap run the '''localectl''' command:
−
 
−
* Not use colloquial terms. Only formal XXX-LANG.
 
−
* 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.
 
  
 +
#localectl set-keymap us
  
−
==Outdated contribs==
+
To confirm your permanent keymap settings execute the localectl command without any arguments.
−
This is a list of contribs that need their lexicons updated,
 
  
−
If contribs are not updated after the April 2008 updates the server-manager panels appear unsorted
+
Source:
 +
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-change-system-keyboard-keymap-layout-on-centos-7-linux
  
−
The easiest way to update lexicons is for the Author to import their contrib into the SME Contribs repository. Contrib authors please have a look at [[Package_Modification]] for that.

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:

  • 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:

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

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 (¿).


Important.png Note:
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


Example for Italian: 

#: root/etc/e-smith/locale/en-us/etc/e-smith/web/functions/clamav:60(trans)
#: root/etc/e-smith/locale/en-us/etc/e-smith/web/functions/emailsettings:118(trans)
#, fuzzy
msgid "During office hours (8:00 AM to 6:00 PM) on weekdays"
msgstr ""
"#-#-#-#-#  clamav.po (SME Panels)  #-#-#-#-#\n"
"Durante l'orario d'ufficio (dalle 8:00 alle 18:00) giorni lavorativi\n"
"#-#-#-#-#  emailsettings.po (SME Panels)  #-#-#-#-#\n"
"Orario ufficio (8:00-18:00 Lun-Ven)"

You must fix the file clamav.po or emailsettings.po (not both) to only use one of the following translated values: 

Durante l'orario d'ufficio (dalle 8:00 alle 18:00) giorni lavorativi

or 

Orario ufficio (8:00-18:00 Lun-Ven)

Please ensure to remove all \n characters from end of translation and escape characters \ before each " not present in english source language. ex. \"{$acct}\" should be "{$acct}". This only happens in the consistence checks.

So, at equal English strings values => equal translations (Italian) values.

In this example (Italian) the files clamav.po and emailsettings.po should have the same translated value:

Durante l'orario d'ufficio (dalle 8:00 alle 18:00) giorni lavorativi or Orario ufficio (8:00-18:00 Lun-Ven).

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.

Changing the Server Language

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 

config setprop sysconfig Keytable sv

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.

A patch is automatically created at http://translate.contribs.org/patches/ You then apply this to the rpm to add the new translations or update the existing ones.

We need a few volunteers to apply these patches to smecontribs, say weekly, or more or less as the need arises, it isn't difficult and we will guide you.

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.

  • The English locale file is used as the Pootle template. Other languages are edited/translated at Pootle.
  • 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
  • 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>).
  • Review the General lexicon, you don't need to duplicate these entries in your contrib lexicon
