Notes on the Free Translation Project

*************************************

|
Free software is going international! The Free Translation Project
|
| 5 |
|
|
is a way to get maintainers of free software, translators, and users all
|
| 6 |
|
|
together, so that will gradually become able to speak many languages.
|
| 7 |
|
|
A few packages already provide translations for their messages.
|
| 8 |
|
|
|
| 9 |
|
|
If you found this `ABOUT-NLS' file inside a distribution, you may
|
| 10 |
|
|
assume that the distributed package does use GNU `gettext' internally,
|
| 11 |
|
|
itself available at your nearest GNU archive site. But you do _not_
|
| 12 |
|
|
need to install GNU `gettext' prior to configuring, installing or using
|
| 13 |
|
|
this package with messages translated.
|
| 14 |
|
|
|
| 15 |
|
|
Installers will find here some useful hints. These notes also
|
| 16 |
|
|
explain how users should proceed for getting the programs to use the
|
| 17 |
|
|
available translations. They tell how people wanting to contribute and
|
| 18 |
|
|
work at translations should contact the appropriate team.
|
| 19 |
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
|
When reporting bugs in the `intl/' directory or bugs which may be
|
| 21 |
|
|
related to internationalization, you should tell about the version of
|
| 22 |
|
|
`gettext' which is used. The information can be found in the
|
| 23 |
|
|
`intl/VERSION' file, in internationalized packages.
|
| 24 |
|
|
|
| 25 |
|
|
Quick configuration advice
|
| 26 |
|
|
==========================
|
| 27 |
|
|
|
| 28 |
|
|
If you want to exploit the full power of internationalization, you
|
| 29 |
|
|
should configure it using
|
| 30 |
|
|
|
| 31 |
|
|
./configure --with-included-gettext
|
| 32 |
|
|
|
| 33 |
|
|
to force usage of internationalizing routines provided within this
|
| 34 |
|
|
package, despite the existence of internationalizing capabilities in the
|
| 35 |
|
|
operating system where this package is being installed. So far, only
|
| 36 |
|
|
the `gettext' implementation in the GNU C library version 2 provides as
|
| 37 |
|
|
many features (such as locale alias, message inheritance, automatic
|
| 38 |
|
|
charset conversion or plural form handling) as the implementation here.
|
| 39 |
|
|
It is also not possible to offer this additional functionality on top
|
| 40 |
|
|
of a `catgets' implementation. Future versions of GNU `gettext' will
|
| 41 |
|
|
very likely convey even more functionality. So it might be a good idea
|
| 42 |
|
|
to change to GNU `gettext' as soon as possible.
|
| 43 |
|
|
|
| 44 |
|
|
So you need _not_ provide this option if you are using GNU libc 2 or
|
| 45 |
|
|
you have installed a recent copy of the GNU gettext package with the
|
| 46 |
|
|
included `libintl'.
|
| 47 |
|
|
|
| 48 |
|
|
INSTALL Matters
|
| 49 |
|
|
===============
|
| 50 |
|
|
|
| 51 |
|
|
Some packages are "localizable" when properly installed; the
|
| 52 |
|
|
programs they contain can be made to speak your own native language.
|
| 53 |
|
|
Most such packages use GNU `gettext'. Other packages have their own
|
| 54 |
|
|
ways to internationalization, predating GNU `gettext'.
|
| 55 |
|
|
|
| 56 |
|
|
By default, this package will be installed to allow translation of
|
| 57 |
|
|
messages. It will automatically detect whether the system already
|
| 58 |
|
|
provides the GNU `gettext' functions. If not, the GNU `gettext' own
|
| 59 |
|
|
library will be used. This library is wholly contained within this
|
| 60 |
|
|
package, usually in the `intl/' subdirectory, so prior installation of
|
| 61 |
|
|
the GNU `gettext' package is _not_ required. Installers may use
|
| 62 |
|
|
special options at configuration time for changing the default
|
| 63 |
|
|
behaviour. The commands:
|
| 64 |
|
|
|
| 65 |
|
|
./configure --with-included-gettext
|
| 66 |
|
|
./configure --disable-nls
|
| 67 |
|
|
|
| 68 |
|
|
will respectively bypass any pre-existing `gettext' to use the
|
| 69 |
|
|
internationalizing routines provided within this package, or else,
|
| 70 |
|
|
_totally_ disable translation of messages.
|
| 71 |
|
|
|
| 72 |
|
|
When you already have GNU `gettext' installed on your system and run
|
| 73 |
|
|
configure without an option for your new package, `configure' will
|
| 74 |
|
|
probably detect the previously built and installed `libintl.a' file and
|
| 75 |
|
|
will decide to use this. This might be not what is desirable. You
|
| 76 |
|
|
should use the more recent version of the GNU `gettext' library. I.e.
|
| 77 |
|
|
if the file `intl/VERSION' shows that the library which comes with this
|
| 78 |
|
|
package is more recent, you should use
|
| 79 |
|
|
|
| 80 |
|
|
./configure --with-included-gettext
|
| 81 |
|
|
|
| 82 |
|
|
to prevent auto-detection.
|
| 83 |
|
|
|
| 84 |
|
|
The configuration process will not test for the `catgets' function
|
| 85 |
|
|
and therefore it will not be used. The reason is that even an
|
| 86 |
|
|
emulation of `gettext' on top of `catgets' could not provide all the
|
| 87 |
|
|
extensions of the GNU `gettext' library.
|
| 88 |
|
|
|
| 89 |
|
|
Internationalized packages have usually many `po/LL.po' files, where
|
| 90 |
|
|
LL gives an ISO 639 two-letter code identifying the language. Unless
|
| 91 |
|
|
translations have been forbidden at `configure' time by using the
|
| 92 |
|
|
`--disable-nls' switch, all available translations are installed
|
| 93 |
|
|
together with the package. However, the environment variable `LINGUAS'
|
| 94 |
|
|
may be set, prior to configuration, to limit the installed set.
|
| 95 |
|
|
`LINGUAS' should then contain a space separated list of two-letter
|
| 96 |
|
|
codes, stating which languages are allowed.
|
| 97 |
|
|
|
| 98 |
|
|
Using This Package
|
| 99 |
|
|
==================
|
| 100 |
|
|
|
| 101 |
|
|
As a user, if your language has been installed for this package, you
|
| 102 |
|
|
only have to set the `LANG' environment variable to the appropriate
|
| 103 |
|
|
`LL_CC' combination. Here `LL' is an ISO 639 two-letter language code,
|
| 104 |
|
|
and `CC' is an ISO 3166 two-letter country code. For example, let's
|
| 105 |
|
|
suppose that you speak German and live in Germany. At the shell
|
| 106 |
|
|
prompt, merely execute `setenv LANG de_DE' (in `csh'),
|
| 107 |
|
|
`export LANG; LANG=de_DE' (in `sh') or `export LANG=de_DE' (in `bash').
|
| 108 |
|
|
This can be done from your `.login' or `.profile' file, once and for
|
| 109 |
|
|
all.
|
| 110 |
|
|
|
| 111 |
|
|
You might think that the country code specification is redundant.
|
| 112 |
|
|
But in fact, some languages have dialects in different countries. For
|
| 113 |
|
|
example, `de_AT' is used for Austria, and `pt_BR' for Brazil. The
|
| 114 |
|
|
country code serves to distinguish the dialects.
|
| 115 |
|
|
|
| 116 |
|
|
The locale naming convention of `LL_CC', with `LL' denoting the
|
| 117 |
|
|
language and `CC' denoting the country, is the one use on systems based
|
| 118 |
|
|
on GNU libc. On other systems, some variations of this scheme are
|
| 119 |
|
|
used, such as `LL' or `LL_CC.ENCODING'. You can get the list of
|
| 120 |
|
|
locales supported by your system for your country by running the command
|
| 121 |
|
|
`locale -a | grep '^LL''.
|
| 122 |
|
|
|
| 123 |
|
|
Not all programs have translations for all languages. By default, an
|
| 124 |
|
|
English message is shown in place of a nonexistent translation. If you
|
| 125 |
|
|
understand other languages, you can set up a priority list of languages.
|
| 126 |
|
|
This is done through a different environment variable, called
|
| 127 |
|
|
`LANGUAGE'. GNU `gettext' gives preference to `LANGUAGE' over `LANG'
|
| 128 |
|
|
for the purpose of message handling, but you still need to have `LANG'
|
| 129 |
|
|
set to the primary language; this is required by other parts of the
|
| 130 |
|
|
system libraries. For example, some Swedish users who would rather
|
| 131 |
|
|
read translations in German than English for when Swedish is not
|
| 132 |
|
|
available, set `LANGUAGE' to `sv:de' while leaving `LANG' to `sv_SE'.
|
| 133 |
|
|
|
| 134 |
|
|
In the `LANGUAGE' environment variable, but not in the `LANG'
|
| 135 |
|
|
environment variable, `LL_CC' combinations can be abbreviated as `LL'
|
| 136 |
|
|
to denote the language's main dialect. For example, `de' is equivalent
|
| 137 |
|
|
to `de_DE' (German as spoken in Germany), and `pt' to `pt_PT'
|
| 138 |
|
|
(Portuguese as spoken in Portugal) in this context.
|
| 139 |
|
|
|
| 140 |
|
|
Translating Teams
|
| 141 |
|
|
=================
|
| 142 |
|
|
|
| 143 |
|
|
For the Free Translation Project to be a success, we need interested
|
| 144 |
|
|
people who like their own language and write it well, and who are also
|
| 145 |
|
|
able to synergize with other translators speaking the same language.
|
| 146 |
|
|
Each translation team has its own mailing list. The up-to-date list of
|
| 147 |
|
|
teams can be found at the Free Translation Project's homepage,
|
| 148 |
|
|
`http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/', in the "National teams"
|
| 149 |
|
|
area.
|
| 150 |
|
|
|
| 151 |
|
|
If you'd like to volunteer to _work_ at translating messages, you
|
| 152 |
|
|
should become a member of the translating team for your own language.
|
| 153 |
|
|
The subscribing address is _not_ the same as the list itself, it has
|
| 154 |
|
|
`-request' appended. For example, speakers of Swedish can send a
|
| 155 |
|
|
message to `sv-request@li.org', having this message body:
|
| 156 |
|
|
|
| 157 |
|
|
subscribe
|
| 158 |
|
|
|
| 159 |
|
|
Keep in mind that team members are expected to participate
|
| 160 |
|
|
_actively_ in translations, or at solving translational difficulties,
|
| 161 |
|
|
rather than merely lurking around. If your team does not exist yet and
|
| 162 |
|
|
you want to start one, or if you are unsure about what to do or how to
|
| 163 |
|
|
get started, please write to `translation@iro.umontreal.ca' to reach the
|
| 164 |
|
|
coordinator for all translator teams.
|
| 165 |
|
|
|
| 166 |
|
|
The English team is special. It works at improving and uniformizing
|
| 167 |
|
|
the terminology in use. Proven linguistic skill are praised more than
|
| 168 |
|
|
programming skill, here.
|
| 169 |
|
|
|
| 170 |
|
|
Available Packages
|
| 171 |
|
|
==================
|
| 172 |
|
|
|
| 173 |
|
|
Languages are not equally supported in all packages. The following
|
| 174 |
|
|
matrix shows the current state of internationalization, as of May 2003.
|
| 175 |
|
|
The matrix shows, in regard of each package, for which languages PO
|
| 176 |
|
|
files have been submitted to translation coordination, with a
|
| 177 |
|
|
translation percentage of at least 50%.

Some counters in the preceding matrix are higher than the number of
|
| 592 |
|
|
visible blocks let us expect. This is because a few extra PO files are
|
| 593 |
|
|
used for implementing regional variants of languages, or language
|
| 594 |
|
|
dialects.
|
| 595 |
|
|
|
| 596 |
|
|
For a PO file in the matrix above to be effective, the package to
|
| 597 |
|
|
which it applies should also have been internationalized and
|
| 598 |
|
|
distributed as such by its maintainer. There might be an observable
|
| 599 |
|
|
lag between the mere existence a PO file and its wide availability in a
|
| 600 |
|
|
distribution.

Using `gettext' in new packages
|
| 608 |
|
|
===============================
|
| 609 |
|
|
|
| 610 |
|
|
If you are writing a freely available program and want to
|
| 611 |
|
|
internationalize it you are welcome to use GNU `gettext' in your
|
| 612 |
|
|
package. Of course you have to respect the GNU Library General Public
|
| 613 |
|
|
License which covers the use of the GNU `gettext' library. This means
|
| 614 |
|
|
in particular that even non-free programs can use `libintl' as a shared
|
| 615 |
|
|
library, whereas only free software can use `libintl' as a static
|
| 616 |
|
|
library or use modified versions of `libintl'.
|
| 617 |
|
|
|
| 618 |
|
|
Once the sources are changed appropriately and the setup can handle
|
| 619 |
|
|
the use of `gettext' the only thing missing are the translations. The
|
| 620 |
|
|
Free Translation Project is also available for packages which are not
|
| 621 |
|
|
developed inside the GNU project. Therefore the information given above
|
| 622 |
|
|
applies also for every other Free Software Project. Contact
|
| 623 |
|
|
`translation@iro.umontreal.ca' to make the `.pot' files available to
|
| 624 |
|
|
the translation teams.
