The Sahana Pootle Server is a tool to assist with translations. If you have any queries or need permission, please contact the MailingList.
Instructions in Spanish:
Below is an example based on how the Taiwan team uses Sahana Pootle Server in the language translation process. In the following example, zh-tw.py is used, but the main idea should apply to other teams.
There are two main roles:
- Translator who focuses on text translation. This role doesn't need technical ability.
- Administrator who converts updated .po to .py, and makes it works in eden/languages directory. If you are an Administrator, be sure to see the useful UserGuidelinesLocalisation before using Pootle or other translation tools.
Translate Text
- Select the project (typically "Sahana Eden") and the language you wish to translate into.
- To translate a term, either:
- Search for a term eg. "Required Field".
- Click on the
Translate
Tab and selectQuick Translate
orTranslate All
.
- Put the translation in the field below the term. You can submit the translation, or assign it as a suggestion.
- If there are other terms matching the translated text, eg. "Required Field", they will be shown afterward.
Apply a Translated Language to Sahana Eden
- Select the project "Sahana Eden" and the language you wish to apply the translation for.
- Go to "Translate" tab.
- Download the language .po (eg. zh-tw.pyo)file by clicking on the "Download" link. You may have save the page that opens.
- Run "po2web2py -i zh-tw.po -o zh-tw.py" to generate the needed language file.
- Place the generated zh-tw.py in the eden/languages directory.
- Edit
deployment_settings.L10n.languages
inmodels/000_config.py
Update the Language File in Pootle
Administrator Only
A common case is that you have a new zh-tw.py in languages directory, and want to upload it to pootle. This zh-tw.py file can turn into zh-tw.po running "web2py2po -i zh-tw.py -o zh-tw.po". See: User Guidelines Localisation
marr's note: in my experience, with the above generated zh-tw.po file, you might see all msgstr filled with strings automatically, and uploading such file to pootle will mislead the statistics.
- Select the project "Sahana Eden" and the language you wish to apply the translation for.
- Go to "Translate" tab.
- Choose the .po file to upload. Say, you can "Overwrite the current file if it exists".
- If choosing "Add all new translations as suggestions", or, there are suggestions for a term, you can decide "Accept" or "Reject" them.
Add a New Language to Pootle
Administrator Only
- Admin (top right) -> Languages. Add Language (to Pootle).
- Select Project ("Sahana Eden") -> Administrate. Add Language (to Project).
- Select Project ("Sahana Eden") -> <New Language>. Upload *.po file. See: User Guidelines Localisation
