## Instructions for helping translate text for Vidalia, TorButton and TorCheck ## ( More translation information for Tor related apps will accumulate here ) 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. You'll need a Tor SVN account. If you do not have one and you need one, please run this command with your desired username in place of 'USERNAME': htdigest -c passwd.tmp "Tor subversion repository" USERNAME All three of the above projects check in their respective .po files into the following subversion urls: https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/translation/trunk/projects/torbutton https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/translation/trunk/projects/torcheck http://trac.vidalia-project.net/browser/vidalia/trunk/src/vidalia/i18n The current pootle configuration is checked into subversion as well: https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/translation/trunk/pootle 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_$locale.po; done Now check the differences (ensure the output looks reasonable): svn diff Ensure that msgfmt has no errors: msgfmt -C *.po And finally check in the changes: svn commit Torbutton uses our translation portal to accept translations. Users use the portal to check in their changes. To make use of the translations that users have commited to the translations/ subversion module, you'll need to ensure that you have a current checked out copy of Torbutton: cd torbutton/trans_tools torbutton/trans_tools$ svn up 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 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. Here's an example of how to move all of the current pootle translations into the svn trunk area of Torbutton: 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 Now check the differences (ensure the output looks reasonable): svn diff And finally check in the changes: svn commit Vidalia uses our translation portal to accept translations. Users use the portal to check in their changes. No conversion or moving is required other than normal pootle usage.
