Updated to reflect the new pootle backend process. This can almost all be automated when the time comes and when we are sure we won't have major issues with pootle/translation updates/etc.

## Instructions for helping translate text for Vidalia and TorButton

## Instructions for helping translate text for Vidalia, TorButton and TorCheck
|
||||
## ( More translation information for Tor related apps will accumulate here )
|
||||
|
||||
You'll need an account on launchpad[0] and you'll want to request access.
|
||||
Access will need to be granted by either Matt or Jacob.
|
||||
Our translations are handled in one of two places. The Tor Translation Portal
|
||||
handles all of the translations for Vidalia, Torbutton and TorCheck. The Tor
|
||||
website itself is currently handled by hand translations using subversion.
|
||||
|
||||
Uploading new translations is quite simple. First you'll need to checkout
|
||||
the source to Vidalia. Then you'll want to change into the i18n directory:
|
||||
All three of the above projects check in their respective .po files into the following subversion urls:
|
||||
|
||||
cd vidalia/src/vidalia/i18n;
|
||||
https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/translation/trunk/projects/torbutton
|
||||
https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/translation/trunk/projects/torcheck
|
||||
https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/translation/trunk/projects/vidalia
|
||||
|
||||
Now you'll run the proper commands[1] to convert from the native QT .ts format.
|
||||
This is because of a known issues in Rosetta, the software that drives
|
||||
Launchpad. You can read more about this bug here:
|
||||
https://bugs.launchpad.net/rosetta/+bug/68959
|
||||
The current pootle configuration is checked into subversion as well:
|
||||
|
||||
Because Rosetta doesn't support .ts files, you'll want to convert the .ts
|
||||
format into gnugettext .po files. Do so like so:
|
||||
|
||||
for file in `ls -1|grep .ts$|cut -f1 -d.`;
|
||||
do
|
||||
echo "Attempting to convert" $file.ts;
|
||||
ts2po --input=$file.ts --output=$file.po;
|
||||
done
|
||||
|
||||
This is pretty straight forward but also error prone. You'll want to check for
|
||||
proper formatting of the .po files like so:
|
||||
|
||||
for file in `ls -1|grep .po$`
|
||||
do
|
||||
msgfmt -c $file;
|
||||
done
|
||||
|
||||
You have to remove all duplicate strings and all errors before uploading:
|
||||
https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/translation/trunk/pootle
|
||||
|
||||
for file in `ls -1|grep .po$|cut -f1 -d.`
|
||||
do
|
||||
msguniq -o $file.po $file-uniq.po;
|
||||
TorCheck uses our translation portal to accept translations. Users use the portal to check in their changes.
|
||||
To make use of the translations that users have commited to the translations/
|
||||
subversion module, you'll need to ensure that you have a current checked out
|
||||
copy of TorCheck:
|
||||
|
||||
cd check/trunk/i18n/
|
||||
check/trunk/i18n$ svn up
|
||||
|
||||
You should see something like the following:
|
||||
|
||||
Fetching external item into 'pootle'
|
||||
External at revision 15300.
|
||||
|
||||
At revision 15300.
|
||||
|
||||
Now if you had changes, you'd simply want to move the newly updated .po files
|
||||
into the current stable directory. Moving the .po files from
|
||||
'check/trunk/i18n/pootle/' into 'check/trunk/i18n' properly naming the files
|
||||
for their respective locale.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's an example of how to move all of the current pootle translations into
|
||||
the svn trunk area of TorCheck:
|
||||
|
||||
cd check/trunk/i18n/
|
||||
for locale in `ls -1 pootle/|grep -v template`;
|
||||
do
|
||||
mv -v pootle/$locale/TorCheck_$locale.po TorCheck_$locale.po;
|
||||
done
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure that the .po files are valid, possibly by compiling them into .mo files:
|
||||
Now check the differences (ensure the output looks reasonable):
|
||||
|
||||
svn diff
|
||||
|
||||
for file in `ls -1|grep .po$|cut -f1 -d.`
|
||||
do
|
||||
msgfmt -o $file.mo $file.po;
|
||||
file $file.mo;
|
||||
done
|
||||
Ensure that msgfmt has no errors:
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to make proper .mo files and you have no errors, you're probably
|
||||
ready to upload the .po files for translation. A proper .mo file may look like:
|
||||
msgfmt -C *.po
|
||||
|
||||
"GNU message catalog (little endian), revision 0, 11 messages"
|
||||
And finally check in the changes:
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have the current selection of .po files, you'll want to make a .tgz:
|
||||
svn commit
|
||||
|
||||
tar -cvzf vidalia.tar.gz *.po;
|
||||
Torbutton uses our translation portal to accept translations. Users use the portal to check in their changes.
|
||||
To make use of the translations that users have commited to the translations/
|
||||
subversion module, you'll need to ensure that you have a current checked out
|
||||
copy of Torbutton:
|
||||
|
||||
cd torbutton/trans_tools
|
||||
torbutton/trans_tools$ svn up
|
||||
|
||||
Now you're ready to upload 'vidalia.tar.gz' by visiting translation upload
|
||||
area of launchpad:
|
||||
You should see something like the following:
|
||||
|
||||
https://translations.launchpad.net/vidalia/trunk/+translations-upload
|
||||
Fetching external item into 'pootle'
|
||||
External at revision 15300.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've performed your upload, you will have to wait for admin approval.
|
||||
After approval, translators will be able to download the files and translate.
|
||||
At revision 15300.
|
||||
|
||||
Now if you had changes, you need to convert from .po and move the newly updated mozilla files
|
||||
into the current stable locale directory. First convert them with the
|
||||
'mkmoz.sh' script and then moving the proper mozilla files from
|
||||
'torbutton/trans_tools/moz/' into 'torbutton/src/chrome/locale/' directory
|
||||
while properly naming the files for their respective locale.
|
||||
|
||||
When the files are ready to be put back into Vidalia's trunk repository, visit:
|
||||
Here's an example of how to move all of the current pootle translations into
|
||||
the svn trunk area of Torbutton:
|
||||
|
||||
https://translations.launchpad.net/vidalia/trunk/+export
|
||||
cd torbutton/trans_tools
|
||||
./mkmoz.sh
|
||||
for locale in `ls -1 moz/`;
|
||||
do
|
||||
mv -v moz/$locale/*.{rdf,dtd,properties} ../src/chrome/locale/$locale/;
|
||||
done
|
||||
|
||||
Download the files in the .po format by following the instructions on the above
|
||||
page. You should see something like:
|
||||
Now check the differences (ensure the output looks reasonable):
|
||||
|
||||
svn diff
|
||||
|
||||
"When these translations have been exported, a message will be sent
|
||||
to your-launchpad-email@yourdoma.example. This message will tell you
|
||||
where you can download your file."
|
||||
And finally check in the changes:
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have the .po files, you'll want to make .ts files from them. To reverse
|
||||
the process and send .ts files to Matt, you'll want to do the following:
|
||||
svn commit
|
||||
|
||||
for file in `ls -1|grep .po$|cut -f1 -d.`;
|
||||
do
|
||||
echo "Attempting to convert" $file.po;
|
||||
po2ts --input=$file.po --output=$file.ts;
|
||||
done
|
||||

If you're interested in helping to translate Torbutton, it uses Babelzilla[2].
|
||||
You'll need a login to Babelzilla just as you do with Launchpad. Once logged
|
||||
in visit the following page for progress information and downloads of templates:
|
||||
You should see something like the following:
|
||||

To download all locale strings with missing transations in their original
|
||||
form, you can visit this url:
|
||||
Now if you had changes, you need to convert from .po and move the newly updated .ts files
|
||||
into the current stable locale directory. First convert them with the
|
||||
'mkts.sh' script and then moving the proper .ts files from
|
||||
'vidalia/src/vidalia/i18n/ts/' into 'vidalia/src/vidalia/i18n/' directory

|
||||
Here's an example of how to move all of the current pootle translations into
|
||||
the svn trunk area of Torbutton:
|
||||
|
||||
To download all locale strings with missing translations as an empty string,
|
||||
you can visit this url:
|
||||
cd vidalia/src/vidalia/i18n/
|
||||
./mkts.sh
|
||||
for locale in `ls -1 ts/`;
|
||||
do
|
||||
mv -v ts/$locale/vidalia_$locale.ts vidalia_$locale.ts;
|
||||
done
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.babelzilla.org/index.php?option=com_wts&Itemid=88&type=downloadempty&extension=3510
|
||||
Now check the differences (ensure the output looks reasonable):
|
||||
|
||||
svn diff
|
||||
|
||||
If you plan to translate using Babelzilla often, you'll want to email
|
||||
tor-translation@torproject.org and discuss your desires. Sadly, there is a
|
||||
fixed number of translators allowed per project. To read more about Babelzilla
|
||||
please read their Q&A section:
