Welcome to the NL.OpenOffice.org wiki pages. This project is part of the Native-Language Confederation and uses this wiki to coordinate parts of its work that need to be updated regularly and/or by more than one person.

We communicate mainly by mail. For this we use the mailing list localization@nl.openoffice.org [mainly Dutch]. To view the mailing list archive or for subscription see: http://nl.openoffice.org/about-mailinglist.html Sometimes we use the #nl.openoffice.org channel on irc.freenode.net.

There are a number of things we are currently working on inside the Dutch localization project:


Localization testing on new releases of OOo

Translation for OOo 2.2

Translate Tools

sdf to po

Windows users

To open the Command Prompt click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK. Use the command cd to go to the directory where your translation toolkit is located.

 C:\Documents and Settings\user>cd "C:\Program Files\translate-toolkit"
 
 C:\Program Files\translate-toolkit>

Execute oo2po -h for help.

 oo2po -l nl UI_93824_89_2007-06-05_31.sdf UI

Translation using OmegaT with TM and Glossary

  • Download and unzip OmegaT
  • Within the directory you use for this translation create a few OmegaT specific folders:
    • source will contain the above .po file
    • tm will contain the translation memory file you will download from this issue, or any other TMX you want to use
    • glossary will contain the glossary file that you can export from SunGloss (or any other glossary you want to use)
    • target will contain the translated files you can create at any point during the translation

OmegaT uses a lot of memory to load the source files, the TMX files, the glossaries as well as all the correspondences between all the files that it creates at load time. It may sometimes run out of memory. If that is the case start OmegaT from the command line using:

(on Windows) javaw -Xmx512m -jar OmegaT.jar (512mb is an indicative value and you can actually put more than the amount or ram you really have)
  • Start OmegaT and create a new project
  • Make sure the language codes match the codes of the TMX file you've decided to use
  • Select the above directories to be used as project directories
  • OK
  • Translate your assigned files

The first part of the po-file contains a header. Nothing to translate there.

 "Plural-Forms: nplurals=INTEGER; plural=EXPRESSION;\n"
 "X-Generator: Translate Toolkit 1.0\n"
 "X-Accelerator-Marker: ~\n"
  • Use Project > Create Translated Documents to write the results so far to the target directory
  • Whenever you want to check the files, open the target folder. The contents of target is temporary and will be overwritten by any modifications made from within OmegaT.
  • The contents of the po-files can be seen with text editors that know how to handle LF as a line-ending. Be carefull not to accidentaly save changes to the po-files.

To export a glossary from SunGloss you need to be a registered user.

  • Export only the relevant parts (StarOffice/StarSuite for ex), only in the relevant languages. You'll mostly need the source term, the target term and the target term comments
  • Rename the file (name).csv and open it in Calc
  • Make sure you only have three columns (see above)
  • Save while editing the CSV filter: Character set=utf-8, Field delimiter=tab, Text delimiter=(nothing)
  • Rename the file (name).utf8
  • Make sure the file is in the glossary directory

Any modifications to the source files, the TMX file or the glossary files will require the project to be reloaded to be taken into account.

OmegaT comes with a 10mn tutorial that is displayed at startup. Make sure you read it before you start.

Translation of documentation

Several members of nl.openoffice.org also partcipate in the OOoAuthors project.

OOoAuthors.org

is a development site for OpenOffice.org documentation.

We are a group of volunteer reviewers, writers, editors, proofreaders, indexers, and translators producing documentation for OpenOffice.org Writer, Calc, Draw, Impress, Math and Base.

There are also documents in German, English, Romanian, and other languages.
