<h1>TRANSLATION TOOL, V3.0:
<br>======================</h1>
<p>
This transation tool should greatly help Koha translators.
It's composed of 2 scripts:
<ul>
<li>xgettext.pl, that extracts the texts in a template,
and which is called by the script
<li>tmpl_process3.tmpl, which can do 3 things:
<ul>
<li>create a file with all the "translatable strings" in all files in a directory (& its subdirectories)
<li>update an existing translation file.
<li>rebuild translated templates from english & translation file.
</ul>
</ul>
<p>
Call tmpl_process3.pl --help to get a more detailed explanation.
Some additional explanations are also available by calling
perldoc tmpl_process3.pl.
<h2>HOW TO TRANSLATE Koha:
<br>=====================</h2>
<ol>
<li>Create your translation file:
<blockquote>
./tmpl_process.pl create -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/ -s css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
</blockquote>
<p>(In the above example,
/home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/
contains the English templates in the "default" theme,
and po/css_opac_fr_FR.po is where you want the generated PO file to appear.)
<li>Translate your css_opac_fr_FR.po file
using a text editor or a PO file translation tool.
<li>Create your translated templates:
<blockquote>
./tmpl_process.pl install -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/ -o /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/fr2/ -s css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
</blockquote>
<p>
(In the above example,
/home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/fr2/
is where you want your translated templates to be saved.)
<li>Copy images/css files in your new directory (as they are NOT moved by tmpl_process3.pl install).
</ol>
<p>
If something changes in English version:
<ol>
<li>Update your translation file:
<blockquote>
./tmpl_process.pl update -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/ -s po/css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
</blockquote>
<li>Translate your new css_opac_fr_FR.po file.
Look for strings marked as "fuzzy" and strings that are not translated.
<li>Create your translated templates:
<blockquote>
./tmpl_process.pl install -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/ -o /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/fr2/ -s po/css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
</blockquote>
<li>Copy new images/css files in your new directory if needed
</ol>

! TRANSLATION TOOL , V2.0:
! ============
! This transation tool should greatly help Koha translators.
! It's composed of 2 script :
! * test-extract.pl, that extracts the texts in a template. It is called by
! * tmpl_process.
! tmpl process can do 3 things :
! - create a file with all sentences all files in a directory (& it's subdirectories)
! - update an existing translation file.
! - rebuild translated templates from english & translation file.
!
! Call tmpl_process --help to get full explanations.
!
! HOW TO TRANSLATE Koha :
! ============
! 1- create your translation file :
! ./tmpl_process.pl create -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/ -s opac.fr -r
! 2- translate your opac.fr file (english & other_language being separated by a tab, using IGNORE and LIMITED pragmas, see below)
! 3- create your translated version :
! ./tmpl_process.pl install -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/ -o /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/fr2/ -s opac.fr -r
! 4- copy images/css files in your new directory (as they are NOT moved by tmpl_process.pl install)
!
! If something changes in english version :
! 1- update your translation file :
! ./tmpl_process.pl update -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/ -s opac.fr -r
! 2- translate new your opac.fr file (english & other_language being separated by a tab, using IGNORE and LIMITED pragmas, see below)
! 3- create your translated version :
! ./tmpl_process.pl install -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/ -o /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/fr2/ -s opac.fr -r
! 4- copy new images/css files in your new directory if needed
WEAKNESSES
! =======
! I've found some weaknesses (some solvable probably, but maybe some unsolvable)
! - HTML::Templates pb :
! if there is only a <TMPL* > tag between 2 strings, text-extract sometimes merges both strings, and so can't replace them in the translated template. I've solved all those cases with a <br/> or another HTML statement.
! The text-extract2.pl filter attempts to address this problem; it seems that the new filter is now working correctly.
!
! - SHORT STATEMENTS
! short statements (like "in") can be replaced stupidly (like in cgi-bin => gives cgi-bdans in french). the workaround has been to replace only complete words (
! line 185 of tmpl_process :
! $line =~ s/(\W)$text(\W)/$1$subst$2/g;
! )
! Don't seem to have any side effect.
!
! - WORD exist in FILENAME
! words that are in the templates and in a perl script name are replaced !
! For example : Search is replace by Recherche in french, thus,giving <a href="cgi-bin/opac-Recherche.pl">, which is wrong...
! 2 ways to solve this problem, IGNORE & LIMITED pragma.
! IGNORE :
! if a line in translation file is :
! this_original_string IGNORE
! it is ignored during translation.
! LIMITED :
! if a line in translation file is :
! this_original_string LIMITED;the_translation_string
! The string is translated only if :
! * has a > just before
! * has <space>title=" just before
! * has <space>alt=" just before.
! This prevent stupid replaces, at the cost of some missing translation maybe.
!
! - MISSING STRINGS
! Maybe some strings that should be translated are missing.
! You can add whatever you want in text-extract.pl.
! For instance, it extracts :
! - standard text
! - text in alt="SOMETEXT"
! - meta html encoding (8859-1) to enable non european translations.
! - DIFFERENT WORD ORDER
! Some languages have different word order than English in sentences, or even in dates. For these languages, it is impossible to make a good translation at the moment.

when tmpl_process3.pl calls msgmerge(1) to update the PO file.
+ It sometimes generates strings with spurious leading spaces,
