Notes on the Free Translation Project
|
||||
*************************************
|
||||
|
||||
Free software is going international! The Free Translation Project
|
||||
is a way to get maintainers of free software, translators, and users all
|
||||
together, so that will gradually become able to speak many languages.
|
||||
A few packages already provide translations for their messages.
|
||||
|
||||
If you found this `ABOUT-NLS' file inside a distribution, you may
|
||||
assume that the distributed package does use GNU `gettext' internally,
|
||||
itself available at your nearest GNU archive site. But you do *not*
|
||||
need to install GNU `gettext' prior to configuring, installing or using
|
||||
this package with messages translated.
|
||||
|
||||
Installers will find here some useful hints. These notes also
|
||||
explain how users should proceed for getting the programs to use the
|
||||
available translations. They tell how people wanting to contribute and
|
||||
work at translations should contact the appropriate team.
|
||||
|
||||
When reporting bugs in the `intl/' directory or bugs which may be
|
||||
related to internationalization, you should tell about the version of
|
||||
`gettext' which is used. The information can be found in the
|
||||
`intl/VERSION' file, in internationalized packages.
|
||||
|
||||
One advise in advance
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to exploit the full power of internationalization, you
|
||||
should configure it using
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --with-included-gettext
|
||||
|
||||
to force usage of internationalizing routines provided within this
|
||||
package, despite the existence of internationalizing capabilities in the
|
||||
operating system where this package is being installed. So far, only
|
||||
the `gettext' implementation in the GNU C library version 2 provides as
|
||||
many features (such as locale alias or message inheritance) as the
|
||||
implementation here. It is also not possible to offer this additional
|
||||
functionality on top of a `catgets' implementation. Future versions of
|
||||
GNU `gettext' will very likely convey even more functionality. So it
|
||||
might be a good idea to change to GNU `gettext' as soon as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
So you need not provide this option if you are using GNU libc 2 or
|
||||
you have installed a recent copy of the GNU gettext package with the
|
||||
included `libintl'.
|
||||
|
||||
INSTALL Matters
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
Some packages are "localizable" when properly installed; the
|
||||
programs they contain can be made to speak your own native language.
|
||||
Most such packages use GNU `gettext'. Other packages have their own
|
||||
ways to internationalization, predating GNU `gettext'.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, this package will be installed to allow translation of
|
||||
messages. It will automatically detect whether the system provides
|
||||
usable `catgets' (if using this is selected by the installer) or
|
||||
`gettext' functions. If neither is available, the GNU `gettext' own
|
||||
library will be used. This library is wholly contained within this
|
||||
package, usually in the `intl/' subdirectory, so prior installation of
|
||||
the GNU `gettext' package is *not* required. Installers may use
|
||||
special options at configuration time for changing the default
|
||||
behaviour. The commands:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --with-included-gettext
|
||||
./configure --with-catgets
|
||||
./configure --disable-nls
|
||||
|
||||
will respectively bypass any pre-existing `catgets' or `gettext' to use
|
||||
the internationalizing routines provided within this package, enable
|
||||
the use of the `catgets' functions (if found on the locale system), or
|
||||
else, *totally* disable translation of messages.
|
||||
|
||||
When you already have GNU `gettext' installed on your system and run
|
||||
configure without an option for your new package, `configure' will
|
||||
probably detect the previously built and installed `libintl.a' file and
|
||||
will decide to use this. This might be not what is desirable. You
|
||||
should use the more recent version of the GNU `gettext' library. I.e.
|
||||
if the file `intl/VERSION' shows that the library which comes with this
|
||||
package is more recent, you should use
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --with-included-gettext
|
||||
|
||||
to prevent auto-detection.
|
||||
|
||||
By default the configuration process will not test for the `catgets'
|
||||
function and therefore they will not be used. The reasons are already
|
||||
given above: the emulation on top of `catgets' cannot provide all the
|
||||
extensions provided by the GNU `gettext' library. If you nevertheless
|
||||
want to use the `catgets' functions use
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --with-catgets
|
||||
|
||||
to enable the test for `catgets' (this causes no harm if `catgets' is
|
||||
not available on your system). If you really select this option we
|
||||
would like to hear about the reasons because we cannot think of any
|
||||
good one ourself.
|
||||
|
||||
Internationalized packages have usually many `po/LL.po' files, where
|
||||
LL gives an ISO 639 two-letter code identifying the language. Unless
|
||||
translations have been forbidden at `configure' time by using the
|
||||
`--disable-nls' switch, all available translations are installed
|
||||
together with the package. However, the environment variable `LINGUAS'
|
||||
may be set, prior to configuration, to limit the installed set.
|
||||
`LINGUAS' should then contain a space separated list of two-letter
|
||||
codes, stating which languages are allowed.
|
||||
|
||||
Using This Package
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
As a user, if your language has been installed for this package, you
|
||||
only have to set the `LANG' environment variable to the appropriate
|
||||
ISO 639 `LL' two-letter code prior to using the programs in the
|
||||
package. For example, let's suppose that you speak German. At the
|
||||
shell prompt, merely execute `setenv LANG de' (in `csh'),
|
||||
`export LANG; LANG=de' (in `sh') or `export LANG=de' (in `bash'). This
|
||||
can be done from your `.login' or `.profile' file, once and for all.
|
||||
|
||||
An operating system might already offer message localization for
|
||||
many of its programs, while other programs have been installed locally
|
||||
with the full capabilities of GNU `gettext'. Just using `gettext'
|
||||
extended syntax for `LANG' would break proper localization of already
|
||||
available operating system programs. In this case, users should set
|
||||
both `LANGUAGE' and `LANG' variables in their environment, as programs
|
||||
using GNU `gettext' give preference to `LANGUAGE'. For example, some
|
||||
Swedish users would rather read translations in German than English for
|
||||
when Swedish is not available. This is easily accomplished by setting
|
||||
`LANGUAGE' to `sv:de' while leaving `LANG' to `sv'.
|
||||
|
||||
Translating Teams
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
For the Free Translation Project to be a success, we need interested
|
||||
people who like their own language and write it well, and who are also
|
||||
able to synergize with other translators speaking the same language.
|
||||
Each translation team has its own mailing list, courtesy of Linux
|
||||
International. You may reach your translation team at the address
|
||||
`LL@li.org', replacing LL by the two-letter ISO 639 code for your
|
||||
language. Language codes are *not* the same as the country codes given
|
||||
in ISO 3166. The following translation teams exist, as of December
|
||||
1997:
|
||||
|
||||
Chinese `zh', Czech `cs', Danish `da', Dutch `nl', English `en',
|
||||
Esperanto `eo', Finnish `fi', French `fr', German `de', Hungarian
|
||||
`hu', Irish `ga', Italian `it', Indonesian `id', Japanese `ja',
|
||||
Korean `ko', Latin `la', Norwegian `no', Persian `fa', Polish
|
||||
`pl', Portuguese `pt', Russian `ru', Slovenian `sl', Spanish `es',
|
||||
Swedish `sv', and Turkish `tr'.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, you may reach the Chinese translation team by writing to
|
||||
`zh@li.org'.
|
||||
|
||||
If you'd like to volunteer to *work* at translating messages, you
|
||||
should become a member of the translating team for your own language.
|
||||
The subscribing address is *not* the same as the list itself, it has
|
||||
`-request' appended. For example, speakers of Swedish can send a
|
||||
message to `sv-request@li.org', having this message body:
|
||||
|
||||
subscribe
|
||||
|
||||
Keep in mind that team members are expected to participate
|
||||
*actively* in translations, or at solving translational difficulties,
|
||||
rather than merely lurking around. If your team does not exist yet and
|
||||
you want to start one, or if you are unsure about what to do or how to
|
||||
get started, please write to `translation@iro.umontreal.ca' to reach the
|
||||
coordinator for all translator teams.
|
||||
|
||||
The English team is special. It works at improving and uniformizing
|
||||
the terminology in use. Proven linguistic skill are praised more than
|
||||
programming skill, here.
|
||||
|
||||
Available Packages
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
Languages are not equally supported in all packages. The following
|
||||
matrix shows the current state of internationalization, as of December
|
||||
1997. The matrix shows, in regard of each package, for which languages
|
||||
PO files have been submitted to translation coordination.

|

|

Some counters in the preceding matrix are higher than the number of
|
||||
visible blocks let us expect. This is because a few extra PO files are
|
||||
used for implementing regional variants of languages, or language
|
||||
dialects.
|
||||
|
||||
For a PO file in the matrix above to be effective, the package to
|
||||
which it applies should also have been internationalized and
|
||||
distributed as such by its maintainer. There might be an observable
|
||||
lag between the mere existence a PO file and its wide availability in a
|
||||
distribution.

If December 1997 seems to be old, you may fetch a more recent copy
|
||||
of this `ABOUT-NLS' file on most GNU archive sites.
