autolocale automatic installation
by Jakub Suchy 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hi, the #1 question regarding translating Drupal 5.0 using installation profiles is: > And why do you say 100% is translated? I enabled blog module and it is > not. Is there a way to hook into blog.install (for example) and perform AUTOMATIC import of translation, using auto locale module? So user will not have to run Administer -> Locale -> Auto Import ? I think this is the way we should focus now. Jakub

answer to: "why aren't my translations being packaged?"
by Derek Wright 26 Jan '07

hello translators (and the infrastructure maintainers who might be asked to help them), the packaging script for the new release system does a lot of special- case processing for translations. if there are any problems with your .po files, your releases will just not get rebuilt or published. unfortunately, the error propagation is basically non-existent. this has already led to a lot of confusion. i have plans to fix all of this, but i have no time to implement all of these ideas in the near future: http://drupal.org/node/109181 http://drupal.org/node/111323 until those issues are implemented and installed, i wrote up some instructions on how to replicate the work the packaging script is doing, so you can see where and why it's failing: http://drupal.org/node/109181#comment-185545 sorry i can't promise more help than that right now, but hopefully that will be enough to help people deal with this problem in the mean time. cheers, -derek p.s. perhaps someone wants to take these instructions and put them in a translator's handbook page somewhere? that'd be very kind of you. ;) or, at least find me the appropriate place to put it, and i'll add the page. thanks!

Hi, I have just updated the strings for Drupal 5.0. There were two changes: - now we have 4 more strings in installer.pot, so we can translate the names of default content types and their descriptions - there was one more single string change in profile module There are no other changes since the Drupal 5 RC2 strings got published.

I went into the code and started to implement this. But the problem is that it is not only about module files. Module files have included code files, and this is increasingly the situation in core. Like node.module has content_types.inc, which has a corresponding PO file. That file has nothing in its name about where it should go in the folder hierarchy, but it has the information put into the POT file by the extractor. Now we either do a static list of files and where they should go, or we rely on the information which was put into the POT file by the extractor (so it should be there in PO files too). An example from the current aggregator-module.pot and content_types-inc.pot: # $Id: aggregator-module.pot,v 1.8.2.3 2007/01/10 21:31:10 goba Exp $ # # LANGUAGE translation of Drupal (modules/aggregator/aggregator.module) # Copyright YEAR NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS> # Generated from file: aggregator.module,v 1.324 2006/12/26 10:28:12 dries # # $Id: content_types-inc.pot,v 1.1.2.2 2007/01/10 21:31:10 goba Exp $ # # LANGUAGE translation of Drupal (modules/node/content_types.inc) # Copyright YEAR NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS> # Generated from file: content_types.inc,v 1.24 2007/01/09 07:53:26 drumm # The packaging script expects this format. (It does allow for the path information to be on the first line too, because addition of the CVS Id was a recent change). Gabor

Could you inspect a tgz of a language which has > such a README? README.txt is automatically generated by packaging script and if no README in CVS, this README.txt is empty. I assume that if you create it, it will be included. Jakub

Yes, the idea is that we can provide language specific modules in there. Like we are interested in providing a Hungarian date format module, which would form_alter() the date settings and allow for truly Hungarian date formats to set. Or there is a free webhosting company here, which needs an extra email header, and we can add that as a setting in Drupal 5 because of advances in the mail handling code. The idea is that you can distribute the language file and the Drupal core tarball separately. Why don't we do these discussions on the tarnslations mailing list? Lets energize this conversation there! Lets keep the community connected! (I poested this to the mailing list). Gabor
