The part between two source-tags is the english text which appears if there is no translation yet. In the first case this is <quote>New</quote>. The next row is where the translated string would be. The first two messages are already translated, the third is not. This is marked by the <programlisting>type="unfinished"</programlisting> </para> <para> If you choose to use an editor like VIM instead of the prefered tool -Linguist- you have to remove that mark and add the translated string between the two translation-tags. </para> <para> It might happen that you see <emphasis>type="obsolete"</emphasis> in a .ts-file. You should not translate these stings as they do no longer appear in the application. The translationcoordinator removes those strings from time to time. In Linguist those strings are grey and not translatable. </para> </section> <section> <title>Filetypes</title> <para> As a translator one needs to know three different filetypes. <filename class='extension'>ts</filename> .ts-files are the most important files for translators. In these files are all strings which need to be translated and the translations themselfs. All .ts-files are located in <filename class='directory'>OPIEDIR/i18n/xx</filename> while xx is a languagecode (eg. de or de). In theory .ts-files are the only ones a translator needs to know. <filename class='extension'>pro</filename> Every application has a .pro-file from which the Makefiles are generated. As a translator you need to check if in every .pro-file is a line for the language you want to translate to. - This line should look like:: + This line should look like: <programlisting> ../../../i18n/de/today.ts \ </programlisting> Usually the translationcoordinator takes care of these entries so you should not need to edit them. <filename class='extension'>qm</filename> These are binary files used by &opie; to display the translated strings. They are automatically generated by calling the command <command>make lrelease</command>. Of course, you need to have the binary of <application>lrelease</application> which comes with &qt;. </para> </section> <section> <title>Do's and don'ts</title> <para> There are certain things that should only be done be the translationcoordinator or one of the core developers. <itemizedlist mark='opencircle'> <listitem> <para> The translationfiles should never be updated by the translators. Only the translationcoordinator updates the repository. This is to avoid merging conflicts. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> The binary .qm-files are created by either the translationcoordinator or by the feed-manager. Of course, the translators can create them as described above for testing purposes but the official files will be provided. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> Whenever you find a typo or an incorrect message, contact the author of the application and/or use our bug tracking system (Mantis) to make sure this string will be fixed. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> If you find a string like "Form1" contact the translation coordinator. These strings should not be in the translationfiles. You don't need to translate them. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> |
