How to merge translations for a non-KDE project
by Augustin 27 Dec '07

27 Dec '07

Hello, I am trying to use kbabel to translate Drupal modules (drupal.org) I've been searching for a couple of days, but I still don't quite get the workflow and the setups required in order to import an old translation into a new one each time the .pot file is updated. http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/phb/translation.html here is part of the answer but it assumes we are translating a KDE project. I have been reading the kbabel handbook, but like most KDE handbooks, it describes what is obvious but does not explain what is not. If it can help, I can file a bug report at bugs.kde.org. Here are my notes so far: The workflow is unclear. I was looking for 'import translation' but couldn't find anything useful. There is the concept of PO compendium, which is unclear. The default are set for KDE translations. help:/kbabel/compendium.html is not very clear. It doesn't say anything about creating your own compendium. help:/kbabel/dictionaries.html doesn't say how to create a new translation database. Here is what I have: an new, empty fr.po (copy of updated .pot file) an old, partially translated fr-old.po What I was trying to do at first was open fr.po with kbabel and 'import' the old .po file into it... but apparently that's not the way to do it. Part of the procedure is explained in the link above, but I am still missing some important steps.

Drupal 6 RC1 is out!
by Gábor Hojtsy 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Hey, Quoting from the announcement: The interface strings of Drupal 6.0 are officially frozen now. Only critical fixes, and corrections may be made to the interface text from this point forward. You will find that this release comes with the most interface text updates ever, and is hopefully also easier to translate. Translation templates are available to teams working with Gettext PO files directly. Note that the placement of translation files, and the Drupal 6 translation package structure is different from Drupal 5, so be sure to read the instructions so you can get the most out of your existing Drupal 5.x translations.

Google translate
by Idan Arbel 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Hello, I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this so let me know if not. I'm working on a site that will be very mulit-lingual. This will be a community site where every node created by a user should be automatically translated into as many languages as possible. I'd like to use a 3rd party online translating service such as bablefish or google (I prefer google). I've tried the internationalization module but the auto translations didn't work for me. Any one know how to go about this, any tips or know of any existing modules? Thanks Idan

Bulgarian translation
by Drupal BG 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Hi, I have done a full translation in Bulgarian language. I have acquired a CVS account so that I can upload to the bg translation (my username is drupalbg). There is already a bg translation project which has been inactve for 2 years: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/translations/bg/ The old translations are for drupal 4.6 and translation is incomplete. I tried to create a 5.x branch but got this error: $ cvs tag -b DRUPAL-5 contributions/translations/bg ** Access denied: drupalbg does not have permission to tag files in: ** contributions/translations/bg ** Please contact the owner of this project and request to be added ** as a CVS maintainer, see http://drupal.org/node/63634. cvs tag: Pre-tag check failed cvs [tag aborted]: correct the above errors first! What is the right thing to do? Regards, Peter

test translation runs on Drupal 6, uncovered some issues
by Gábor Hojtsy 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

Hey, Earlier this week, I had long flights and found out it would be fun to try out some test translation runs on Drupal 6 source strings. While the translation server is not yet ready for consumption unfortunately, there is still stuff to fix in Drupal 6 to make it easier (in some cases possible) to translate. I would urge anyone doing test tries on translation to submit issues they find. Beware through, that the Drupal 6 strings are still not frozen and we are fixing bugs like these which modify strings considerably, so starting a "final" Drupal 6 translation now is not yet a good idea. Bugs I noted and would love to get your comments there: http://drupal.org/node/189495 (a pretty simple aggregator issue but needs reviews!) http://drupal.org/node/189388 (help glossary is very outdated) http://drupal.org/node/189395 (security issues in PHP module help - also making it easier to translate in smaller chunks) If people are interested in tips on doing test translation runs to find such bugs, I can help with some tips on how did I reuse the D5 translations, although the D6 translations are now broken out to lots of smaller files. (Command line tools required). Gabor

request for translations - Pathauto 5.x-2.0 - release in as little as a week
by Greg Knaddison 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

Hello, Drupal.org user Hass requested[1] that I delay the final release of Pathauto5.x-2.x for translators. So, this is a one week warning. It will probably be more than a week, but if there are no new bugs found in the next week then I will make a new "official" release of Pathauto-5.x-2.0. The version to base your translation work on is the Pathauto5.x-2.0-beta5 [2] This new release has many new features and some functional changes from the previous 1.x version. Please see the upgrade guide[3] for more information about the new features and changes. I will do my best not to change any strings from now on, especially for the strings that are sent to every day users. If strings need to be changed to provide better guidance to admins or to add new features then I will do my best to minimize the change. Thanks in advance, Greg [1] http://drupal.org/node/177914 [2] http://drupal.org/node/187502 [3] http://groups.drupal.org/node/6706 -- Greg Knaddison Denver, CO | http://knaddison.com World Spanish Tour | http://wanderlusting.org/user/greg
