If you want to watch a video about Pootle in action, look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6tDUQv3huU
−
== Pootle for translators ==
 
−
Register and login at http://translate.contribs.org  and you can begin with the translations.
 
−
 
 
−
Please '''DON'T''' use automatic nor machine generated translations. These are '''BAD''' quality. Leave human translators them make its work!

−
=== Language Responsible's ===
 
−
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.
 
−
 
 
−
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]
 
−
 
 
−
Then you can translate directly your strings clicking at the "Send" button, and review the suggestions made for other translators. You can accept or decline the suggestions.
 
−
 
 
−
{{Note box|

−
'''1.''' To be a language responsible, you must create a bug as described above. Then we will grant "translate" access for you. If you are the first language responsible, you have the responsibility to accept other language responsible people based on the quality of his or hers translations.
 
−
 
 
−
'''2.''' '''Before''' you can request responsible access, you must add the language and projects to your account in Pootle. To make these go to "My Account" --> "Change options" and select the three projects under "My Projects" SME Server Console, SME Server Panels, and SME Contribs Panels (use ctrl key for multiple select). Then select your language under "My Languages".

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 for developers ==
+
==Changing the Server Language==
−
Lexicons for rpms in smecontribs and smeserver are automatically added to Pootle.
+
===Server-Manager===
 +
Change the language the panel is in by changing your browser default language
  
−
A patch is automatically created at http://translate.contribs.org/patches/
+
For Firefox currently it is: Preferences, content, Languages.
−
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.
+
===Console===
−
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.
+
'''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>
 
  
−
* Review the General lexicon, you don't need to duplicate these entries in your contrib lexicon
+
'''For CentOS 7 and SME 10'''
  
−
==Outdated contribs==
+
List available keymaps starting with 'us' :
−
This is a list of contribs that need their lexicons updated,
+
#localectl list-keymaps | grep ^us
  
−
If contribs are not updated after the April 2008 updates the server-manager panels appear unsorted
+
To permanently change the keymap on CentOS 7 to e.g. the US keymap run the '''localectl''' command:
  
−
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.
+
#localectl set-keymap us
  
−
Contribs known to not have translations in UTF8 format: (please confirm these have problems, if you can link to source or list maintainer etc)
+
To confirm your permanent keymap settings execute the localectl command without any arguments.
  
−
Temporary fix is to delete translations, eg
+
Source:
−
rm /etc/e-smith/locale/LANG/etc/e-smith/web/functions/PANEL
+

=== Simple (and dirty) way to discover the incompatible contrib panel ===
+
===Keyboard===
  
−
The following command will list all incompatible translation files.
+
Issue a db command
 +
config setprop sysconfig Keytable sv
  
−
find /etc/e-smith/locale/ -type f | xargs --verbose -n1 iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-8 > /dev/null
+
The above command, and editing /etc/sysconfig/i18n doesn't completely fix the keyboard.
  
−
After finding the above files you can determine which package they belong to (if it isn't obvious) by running the following command:
+
==Pootle for Developers==
 +
Lexicons for rpms in smecontribs and smeserver are automatically added to Pootle.
  
−
rpm -qf /etc/e-smith/locale/lang/etc/e-smith/web/functions/panelname
+
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.
  
−
And replace the "lang" and "panelname" with what the first command spits out.
+
'''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.  
  
−
To fix temporally this issue, create a temporary folder in your SME, like /root/paneltemp
+
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.
−
'''MOVE''' those problematic lexicon files to your temp folder.
 
−
 
 
−
Then run the command:

Translating with Pootle

SME Server supports more than a dozen languages. See http://translate.contribs.org/ for the current list.

Pootle Video Tutorial

If you want to watch a video about Pootle in action, look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6tDUQv3huU

Translators

Become a SME Translator

  1. Before you can request have access and be assigned responsible for one or more languages you will need to register at http://translate.contribs.org.
  2. After registering you will have to log in and add the language and projects to your account in Pootle. This can be done by choosing the Change options under the My Account.
  3. Now select the three projects SME Server Console, SME Server Panels, and SME Contribs Panels under My Projects (Hold the Ctrl key while clicking the desired options to select multiple options).
  4. Last thing that you need to do is to select your language under My Languages. You are now subscribed to all required projects for the desired languages.
    5. Important.png Note:
    Please, do not request to be responsible translator for a certain language before having completed the above steps.

  5. To become responsible for the language you desire you need to request responsibility by creating a

    new bug

    , please provide your Pootle username as well as the language you want to be responsible for.

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
