Line 1: − Thanks Normando, I have my pootle server running, but I'm don't see how to import the language files,+ − have you imported them ? − A lot would come from sourceforge cvs > smeserver > smeserver-locale, but not all+ − maybe we could trial pootle on contrib translations, say + − sourceforge cvs > smecontribs > smeserver-vacation − Getting pootle to intergrate to the way SME currently updates files may be difficult+ − I suggest see what the shad and charlie think in your bug 3782 − [[User:Snoble|Snoble]] 05:08, 21 January 2008 (MST)+ − ----+ − Hello Snoble − First, I have added a test project, and assign to me and add a few languages. Then, because I am the admin of the project, I can add files to the project to translate.+ − The only files handle for pottle are PO or POT files. BUT it has a few of converters to make convertions between '''file.xxx''' to '''file.po''' and revert '''file.po''' to '''file.xxx'''. One of them converters is '''txt2po''' and '''po2txt''' (http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/txt2po) . + + − Pootle handle directly po files under /usr/share/locale to translate.+ + − I think to make a parser or analizer to convert formmagick panels to txt files, and then to .po, handled with pootle. − See http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/formats about all converters. I think it is possible to make translations for formmagick panels within pootle.+ − − I have setup a demo pootle. Access at: − − http://www.unixlan.com.ar:8888 − − user: smeserver with same password. You can test, delete, modify, etc. − − Thank for the comment snoble − − --[[User:PicsOne|Normando Hall]] 11:46, 21 January 2008 (MST) − − ---- − − == I need your help == − I want to colaborate with SME comunity with a translation system. With Pootle you can upload directly the PO files, those reside at /usr/share/locale. BUT formmagick panel can't, because these files are XML. − − The idea is to convert from XML to PO before import in Pootle. To acomplish this, I tried some solutions. − − The first is the converters come with Pootle without success (HTML2PO - TXT2PO). − − The second is PO4A ( http://po4a.alioth.debian.org/index.php ), again, without success. − − You can install enabling ATRPMS repo and install po4a. − − To test, at your panels dir /etc/e-smith/locale/en-us/etc/e-smith/web/functions choose one file to translate (ex. backup), and run − − po4a-gettextize -f xml -o tagsonly="<trans>" -m backup -p backup.po − − Then you can upload the file backup.po in Pootle and translate. Then run the following command to return the PO file to normal XML again. − − po4a-translate -k 0 -f xml -o tagsonly="<trans>" -m backup -p backup.po -l backup_translated − − − The last is XML2PO ( http://linux.die.net/man/1/xml2po ) − − I have packaged for a better installation. You can download from − http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/nhall/sme7/contribs/pootle/rpm/gnome-doc-utils-0.12.0-1.noarch.rpm − − Before try, you must edit a few files. The first is /usr/bin/xml2po − − Change at line 115 from "charset=UTF-8" to "charset=iso-8859-1"

Managing SME translations with pootle have been moved to [[Translations]]
== Please use common packages and default package names (where possible) ==
A lot of the RPM's are in the DAG repository, no use of packaging them yourself or sharing them by copying them from the providing website and sharing them under a different name.
:What packages exactly? All packages are build from the sources code with the command "python setup.py bdist_rpm" (under python 2.4), and the packge itself create the RPM. The only packages I have changed the name is smeserver-pylucene, because it has a lot of problem to build at the same time of build rpm. Instead, I have only package the installed files. But in the next release of "Translate Toolkin", support for PyLucene 2.X and I have this package correctly builded.
Please point users to download python-kid (replacing you kid RPM), python-lxml (replacing your lxml RPM), python-sqllite (replacing pysqlite RPM), python_Levenshtein and python-elementtree (which you called elementtree) which is also available in the DAG repository and AFAIK is already installed on SME Server by default.
:These packages don't run under python2.4.
On top of that not everything is required to install Pootle, only requirements AFAIK could find on the Pootle site are listed [http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/installation#pre-requisite_software here] and because of the jToolkit requiring pythonabi-2.4 you have problems installing against pythonabi-2.3 which is installed on SME Server 7.3, perhaps you can find an older jToolkit, or recompile jToolkit from source and see if it will also work with pythonabi-2.3, this would drop the hack you have to do to make it work on SME Server 7.x.
:Yes, requirements say python 2.3 is supported, but preferable 2.4. This page is out of date. If you search through pootle mailing lists you will found a lot of problems with python 2.3. Of couser I was preferable python 2.3, and make my own packages and test with python 2.3 but without sucess. I have a lot of headache with python 2.3 to try (only try) to run pootle. So, python 2.4 is mandatory. Also has a superb efficiently above 2.3 with some new functions that pootle use.
:See http://translate.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/translate/src/trunk/Pootle/README?r1=6098&r2=6144
:I am not finish this howto yet. Sorry for not warn about that. Now I put a template box with a warn.
:Only when I have finished this howto, I will included in smecontribs.
