Translating Eden to a new language

Create language file:

• ​http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/default/design/eden#languages

You can then either edit this in the Web2Py admin UI or else convert to a .po file for use in standard PO file tools such as ​Virtaal:

• ​web2py2po scripts (part of the ​Translate Toolkit)

You can -also- try a new method, using an experimental tool, which translates any file (including the web2py languages files) using the Google Translate API:

• Go to ​Auto-Translator and download/install the .tar.gz archive or through easy_install Auto_Translator (easy way, if you have installed setuptools).
• The application runs in command line mode for web2py, just

Pootle/translate toolkit

• ​Sahana Pootle server is available as on online facility for collaboration, translation refinement and workflow control

Wiki pages translation

• translated pages with ISO 639-2 language code extension (original english page = no extension), e.g.
  • original page: eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/BluePrintInternationalisation
  • german translation: eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/BluePrintInternationalisation/de

• insert [[TranslatedPages]] macro to display a list of available translations of a page (at best at bottom of page)
