Status of Koha 3 Translations (two weeks remaining)
by Joshua Ferraro 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hi all, Since the announcement on January 8th (8 days ago) that Koha 3 is ready to be translated, we've heard from dozens of translators around the globe who have collectively agreed to translate Koha into over 26 languages! So first off, a big round of applause to all who have volunteered! Just to give you all an update, I just approved all pending translations, and we're up to about 16% completion for all translations. Some are finished, and some haven't been started yet. Please bear in mind the deadline for submissions is 1 February, just two weeks away! I'll send another reminder in about a week. In the meantime, happy translating everyone! Finally, for those who would like to translate Koha into their langauge, and missed the original email, here are the relevant instructions (most folks seem to be using the web-based translation manager FYI): 1. Please take a look at http://translate.koha.org. Some translations already exist; please consider taking over an existing translation rather than starting a fresh one, unless the existing one is un-usably poor :-) 2. Please post your intent to translate Koha to the koha-translate list: http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-translate In your email, please specify your Language, and Country/Region (and if your language uses a non-latin script, please also indicate the Script). Koha uses RFC4646 for managing language subtags, so it's important that we know all of those aspects of the language you're providing. It's important that you post your intent, this way we can avoid overlap and perhaps can even do some collaboration. Note: even if you've contributed a contribution previously, please announce your intent so we can have you on record for the 3.0 version. 3. Determine the application you intend to use to do the translation. You have a few options: a. http://translate.koha.org will allow you to add your translations via a web-based interface. If your language, region, country and script are not listed, please email me and I will add them. b. Desktop Application - there are a few: LocFactory Editor (for OSX), POEdit (for Windows), Kbabel (for Linux). If you use a desktop application, please ensure that your encoding is set either UTF-8 or UTF-16, depending on your language's script support in UTF-8. Most languages should use UTF-8. c. Text file -- yes, you can edit POT files directly in a text editor, but please make sure you have the proper encoding as with the Desktop application. 4. Obtain the Translation Files. (doesn't apply if you use translate.koha.org) You need to copy two files from the Koha 3.0 repository, one for the OPAC, and one for the Staff Client: http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=blob_plain;f=misc/translato… http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=blob_plain;f=misc/translato… 5. Naming your files. (doesn't apply if you use translate.koha.org) Starting with Koha 3, we're using RFC4646 language subtag naming conventions, (have a look at http://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/ for an intro). RFC4646 has a concept of 'extensions' that Koha uses to tag for the 'theme' (t) 'interface' (i) and 'version' (v). For example, if you're creating a French translation from France, for the staff interface, and version 3.00.00.00, the filename would be: fr-FR-i-staff-t-prog-v-3000000.po 6. If you've used translate.koha.org to submit your translation, when you have finished, the system will have that indicated on the report (100%). Otherwise, you'll have to send the file to us somehow. You can do that via email to the list (in which case i recommend creating an archive of the completed files, rather than sending them through in raw format). Or, if you are reasonable comfortable with the command line, you can submit them via Git as a patch. Here are the basic instructions for how to contribute using Git: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:git_usage Translations go in the misc/translator/po file, and should utilize the standard naming conventions. If you have a question, don't hesitate to ask.

about french strings in .po
by Paul POULAIN 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hello all, something like 4 years ago, when doXulting wrote unimarc plugin templates, they did it in french. Nobody ever translated them to english, that's why they are still now in french even in english, and thus appear in the .po file. Fortunatly, there is an option in tmpl_process3.pl (the script that generate the strings file) Just add -x .*unimarc.* as parameter of tmpl_process3.pl and they are gone. Of course, you'll stay with unimarc strings in french in your language. but if you don't use unimarc, you don't care. On the long term, the best solution will be to translate those strings to english (& for us reintroduce them in french po file) HTH -- Paul POULAIN BibLibre SARL Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : 04 91 31 45 19

Re: [Koha-translate] tranlating into Hungarian

Hello, Thanks! It's my mistake. I copied the format from the previous email, which was Greek. Our script is Hungarian (UTF-8). All the best, Agnes ----- Original Message ---- From: Joshua Ferraro <jmf(a)liblime.com> To: Agnes Imecs <eloise212(a)yahoo.com> Cc: koha-translate(a)nongnu.org Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 4:03:03 PM Subject: Re: [Koha-translate] tranlating into Hungarian Hi Anges, On 1/10/08, Agnes Imecs <eloise212(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > > Hi!

I know you've been waiting for this a long time! I recall our conversations at ALA last year. So you'll be happy to know that I just added Hungarian as an option for the staff client to be translated. Happy translating! One quick question before you start. You mention that you'll be using the Greek script, is this always how Hungarian is written? or are there other scripts that are common? I ask because I want to make sure we identify the language correctly.
