Ok. Thanks! Magnus made good points here and as I FINALLY got to look at the Lokalize http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Translating_Koha
tool, I'm glad to be sure and say: imo the Best, of the forementioned two. Be sure to give it out as an option for translators.

I am going to 'koha' (gift) you with installations of se & no-bokmål translations (as partial as they are) in our next update, and hope that you'll do the same for me next time around.
Hoping to get it 3.8 (because of it's API, socialmedia implementations), but this depends on how much delay gives me time to finish the fi-FI 3.8 "opac+pref" files.

I have been myself delayed bc the lack of test benches. I think one can see the translation properly only as it lives on some demo. ---
 
Our regional lib head just visited Joensuu eastern finland where Ministery of Edu has had a large project where OS ILS's Koha and eVERGREEn have been benched to find out n evaluate their performance and technical features.

If any of you have a special interest towards Joensuu project, I am glad to fwd your inquiries via this thread.

In fact I shall get back to this Joensuu affair after we have our fall regional info meeting. They promised to inform us there.

cheers! n have a good, inspired day,

Thanks for the help!

 

It seems to me that we will have to accept that a first time translation might be too much work to handle between string freeze and the release. So having Koha ship with a full translation included might have to wait until 3.12 even if we translate 3.10.

 

Nice to see a Finnish colleague! You have some really sweet libraries over there :)

 

Kind regards!

Ämne: Re: [Koha-translate] Some best practice questions for an upcoming translation to Swedish

 

Hi! My twocents here, i hope it helps,


·         Is offline translation more effective?
- depends on your habits and whole work flow idea. I, working alone on en->fi here, have found both quite similar in my eyes.

·         When should we translate to keep out of trouble with string freeze etc of new versions?
I understand that Koha 3.10 should arrive 22 november. Would that give us six months of peace to translate the intranet?

- That might be a good idea. Anyway the new translation project inherits something like 80% from the old version. And preferences can also be translated while waiting. And then when you get the terminology sorted in intranet, translating OPAC for patron's eyes is already right on tested, solid ground.

·         How much translation work does a new .X version usually introduce? Is translating 3.10 the best idea when go-live is something like spring 2013 or should we translate 3.12 instead?

In my shallow experience, something like 20%  The main problem in translation schedule is of course that you dont get the new files to translate until the new version is ready!! :)  Basically translate always the newest avilable, because the new templates for future versions are drawn from those. That way the work done won't get lost. UNLESS of course you for some reason have decided to hold onto a certain version number.

 

Kind regards


Thanks, likewise! I am glad to find you here. Keep up the good worrk!
