| + | [https://www.apache.org The Apache Software Foundation] runs a Pootle Translate service to allow its projects an easy, cooperative way to localize their products. This guide describes how to use Pootle in the Apache OpenOffice project. More than 40 languages (out of the 120+ languages OpenOffice supports) are maintained in Pootle and more coming soon. |
| | | | |

| − | * Activate account
| + | [[Category:Localization]] |
| − | :Log in using the activation code, then specify the projects and languages and save.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Setting User Permissions ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The default privileges you are granted after the account activation is for suggestion, not submission. Ask your Native-project lead for the appropriate permissions. If s/he is not replying, you may contact the dev@l10n.openoffice.org list.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Browsing files ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are two ways to reach the files for translation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * From the Dashboard page: My Account -> Dashboard
| |
| − | * From the Home page. The Home page displays both Languages and Projects. Choosing a language will give you the list of projects available for translation into this language; choosing a project will give you the list of languages which can be translated for the project. Once you have chosen both the project and the language, you'll be presented with the files available for translation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Note:''' Only if you have the 'translate' privileges, you can see the 'Submit' button. Usually the default privilege of a logged-in users is 'Suggest'. If you can't see the 'Submit' button, please ask your translation lead to set the proper permission for you.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Translating on-line with Pootle ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each file available for translation is accessible in two ways - 'Quick Translate' and 'Translate All'.
| |
| − | * The 'Quick Translate' method shows only the fuzzy and untranslated entries. For this please use the links pointing to the words that 'need immediate attention'.
| |
| − | * The 'Translate All' method shows all the entries in the file regardless of translated status. For this please use the links pointing to the file names.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Note 1:''' Before starting to translate, you should make sure that you have proper permission of the projects. If you don't have permissions to submit, please ask your language lead to give you the permission.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Note 2:''' Before starting to translate, you should make sure to coordinate the translation activity with your team. Ask your native-language lead in case you are not sure which file you should translate and/or review.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Translating off-line ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you want to translate off-line, you need to download the files from Pootle and to upload them once translated.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''1. Download files'''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can download the complete project files, by folder or single files.<br>
| |
| − | The 'ZIP of directory' option is available under the Translate tab page.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Note:''' You need to make sure that you have the privileges for zip downloading. If you don't have appropriate permissions, please ask your translation lead to set the privilege for you. <br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''2. Work off-line''' <br>
| |
| − | You can work with a preferred editor. Most commonly used editors by community are:
| |
| − | * [http://www.poedit.net Poedit]
| |
| − | * [http://www.omegat.org OmegaT]
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you want to work with only fuzzy/untranslated strings, an extra step is needed to filter those strings from downloaded po file.
| |
| − | * Run [http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/pofilter pofilter] which is a part of Translate Toolkit. You can download Translate Toolkit from [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=91920&package_id=97082 here]
| |
| − | ** ''pofilter -t isfuzzy -t untranslated <input file> <filtered file>''
| |
| − | This will extract all strings which are fuzzy or untranslated.<br>
| |
| − | Once you finish working in filtered po file, you can merge it back into the original file using [http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/pomerge pomerge] before uploading to Pootle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''3. Upload translated files''' <br>
| |
| − | Once translation is completed, you need to upload your work to Pootle.<br>
| |
| − | If you have 'translate' privilege, you can see the 'Upload File' option on the bottom left side of the web page.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are two options of upload.
| |
| − | * merge :
| |
| − | : Default option for user who has 'translate' privilege. Previously untranslated strings are submitted and the modifications of already translated strings are marked as 'suggestion', which means they need a review before submission. If you make some modifications to existing translations (e.g., bug fixing), please make sure that they are reviewed and accepted by reviewer. Unless, the modifications won't be applied.
| |
| − | * overwrite :
| |
| − | : User who has 'overwrite' privilege can select between overwrite and merge options. The uploaded file overwrite the existing file on Pootle. This option should be carefully used as it has possibility to loose existing data. If you make sure all the contents of your file are valid, you can choose 'overwrite' option for quick upload.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Note:''' During uploading, you should make sure that you're located in the right folder. You should upload a po file or a ZIP file in the same folder that you downloaded it from.If you upload a file to a wrong location, please contact Pootle admin. <br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Verification Checks ===
| |
| | | | |
| − | Pootle provides an error checking feature, which runs a series of checks on the translations and find out possible errors.
| + | <!-- |
| − | | + | (The description here uses the dummy language xy) |
| − | * Select a project, folder or file you want to check.
| + | We have agreed, that all localized content in this Wiki goes to the subfolder XY of the main Wiki URL. Notice the upper case of the subfolder name. If a page is a translation of an English page, the title in the URL is the same as the English one. Example: The URL of the translation of the page http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Pootle_User_Guide has to be http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/XY/Pootle_User_Guide in the language xy. |
| − | * Click on the Review tab page
| + | To connect the orignal and translated page insert the line |
| − |
| + | [[xy:XY/Pootle_User_Guide]] |
| − | It shows a list of possible errors and statistics. For the verification of the format following categories are relevant:
| + | at the bottom of the original page, ordered alphabetically by the namespace. Of cause use instead of Pootle_User_Guide the real page title. If your native language community has decided to use another structure under XY, you should ask the community members before you start translation. |
| − | | + | To get all the structure and formatting from the original page, open it in edit mode and copy the whole content to your new page, then cancel editing of the original page. |
| − | ** variables
| + | --> |
| − | ** xmltags
| |
| − | ** escapes
