                 The &opie;-Project tries to offer the support for as many languages
                 as possible.  In this chapter the process of translating &opie; and its
                 documentation is explained.

                 To ensure that &opie; can be used by as many people as possible the
                 &opie;-project aims to be translated in as many languages as possible. Of
                 course, as there are so many different languages, there is always a lot
                 work to do. Furthermore, &opie; evolves and thus most likely there are
                 translations for applications which should be updated. In this tutorial
                 you will learn how to help &opie; to be available in as many languages as
                 possible and see how easy it is to give something very much respected to
                 the open-source community.

                 In order to translate for &opie; you need an editor to edit the
                 translationfile and preferably access to cvs.  The preferred editor
                 is Linguist. That is an application which comes with &qt;.  It has a
                 intuitive GUI and is very easy to use.  A tutorial can be found <ulink
                 url="http://doc.trolltech.com/3.1/linguist-manual-3.html">here</ulink>.
         </para> 
         <para>
                 However, you can use every editor which works with UTF8, for example VIM or
                 EMACS.  The advantage of Linguist is that its GUI is optimized for &opie;s
                 translationfiles and can help you by proposing a translation and notice
                 you if there is an error within the translation.
         </para> 
         <para>
                 CVS is a tool which the developers and most translators use to get the source
                 of &opie;.  If you already have an anonymous account for the &opie;-cvs you
                 should go to <filename class='directory'>OPIEDIR/i18n</filename> and do 
                 <programlisting>cvs up</programlisting>.  If there is already a translation for the language you would like to
                 translate you will see the language code in that directory.  For example,
                 for german this is <programlisting>de</programlisting> and for danish it is
                 <programlisting>da</programlisting>.  If not, you should contact the coordinator
                 <personname><firstname>Carsten</firstname><surname>Niehaus</surname></personname>
                 so that everything will be set up for your language.

                 To ensure a high quality of the translations the translatiors have to keep certain things

                         The applications do not speak to the user. This means that for example it should not
                         be <errortext>I didn't find the file!</errortext> but <errortext>File not found!</errortext>.

                         Try not to use exclamationmarks. If the users sees them to often the ! looses it function

         <para>
                 As you can see the markup is very simple.  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 <programlisting>translation</programlisting>-tags.
         </para>
         <para>
                 It might happen that you see <programlisting>type="obsolete"</programlisting> 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.

 <section>
         <title>Filetypes</title>
         <para>
                 As a translator one need 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 would to
                 translate for.  A line like this should look this way:
 
                 <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>

         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>

                         The binary .qm-files are created by either the translationcoordinator or by the feed-manager.
                         Of course, the translators can created them as described above for testingpurposes but 
                         the official files will be provided.

                         and/or use our bugtrackingsystem (Mantis) to make sure this string will be fixed.

                 <para>
                         If you find a string like "Form1" contact the translationcoordinator. These strings
                         should not be in the translationfiles. You don't need to translate them.

                         If you check you translation and see a not translated string even though you translationfile
                         is 100% translated use the bugtrackingsystem and/or contact the author of that application
                         directly so that this bug is fixed.
