1 Notes on the Free Translation Project

2

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

3

4

Free software is going international! The Free Translation Project is

5

a way to get maintainers of free software, translators, and users all

6

together, so that free software will gradually become able to speak many

7

languages. A few packages already provide translations for their

8

messages.

9

10

If you found this `ABOUT-NLS' file inside a distribution, you may

11

assume that the distributed package does use GNU `gettext' internally,

12

itself available at your nearest GNU archive site. But you do _not_

13

need to install GNU `gettext' prior to configuring, installing or using

14

this package with messages translated.

15

16

Installers will find here some useful hints. These notes also

17

explain how users should proceed for getting the programs to use the

18

available translations. They tell how people wanting to contribute and

19

work on translations can contact the appropriate team.

20

21

1.1 INSTALL Matters

22

===================

23

24

Some packages are "localizable" when properly installed; the programs

25

they contain can be made to speak your own native language. Most such

26

packages use GNU `gettext'. Other packages have their own ways to

27

internationalization, predating GNU `gettext'.

28

29

By default, this package will be installed to allow translation of

30

messages. It will automatically detect whether the system already

31

provides the GNU `gettext' functions. Installers may use special

32

options at configuration time for changing the default behaviour. The

33

command:

34

35

./configure --disable-nls

36

37

will _totally_ disable translation of messages.

38

39

When you already have GNU `gettext' installed on your system and run

40

configure without an option for your new package, `configure' will

41

probably detect the previously built and installed `libintl' library

42

and will decide to use it. If not, you may have to to use the

43

`--with-libintl-prefix' option to tell `configure' where to look for it.

44

45

Internationalized packages usually have many `po/LL.po' files, where

46

LL gives an ISO 639 two-letter code identifying the language. Unless

47

translations have been forbidden at `configure' time by using the

48

`--disable-nls' switch, all available translations are installed

49

together with the package. However, the environment variable `LINGUAS'

50

may be set, prior to configuration, to limit the installed set.

51

`LINGUAS' should then contain a space separated list of two-letter

52

codes, stating which languages are allowed.

53

54

1.2 Using This Package

55

======================

56

57

As a user, if your language has been installed for this package, you

58

only have to set the `LANG' environment variable to the appropriate

59

`LL_CC' combination. If you happen to have the `LC_ALL' or some other

60

`LC_xxx' environment variables set, you should unset them before

61

setting `LANG', otherwise the setting of `LANG' will not have the

62

desired effect. Here `LL' is an ISO 639 two-letter language code, and

63

`CC' is an ISO 3166 two-letter country code. For example, let's

64

suppose that you speak German and live in Germany. At the shell

65

prompt, merely execute `setenv LANG de_DE' (in `csh'),

66

`export LANG; LANG=de_DE' (in `sh') or `export LANG=de_DE' (in `bash').

67

This can be done from your `.login' or `.profile' file, once and for

68

all.

69

70

You might think that the country code specification is redundant.

71

But in fact, some languages have dialects in different countries. For

72

example, `de_AT' is used for Austria, and `pt_BR' for Brazil. The

73

country code serves to distinguish the dialects.

74

75

The locale naming convention of `LL_CC', with `LL' denoting the

76

language and `CC' denoting the country, is the one use on systems based

77

on GNU libc. On other systems, some variations of this scheme are

78

used, such as `LL' or `LL_CC.ENCODING'. You can get the list of

79

locales supported by your system for your language by running the

80

command `locale -a | grep '^LL''.

81

82

Not all programs have translations for all languages. By default, an

83

English message is shown in place of a nonexistent translation. If you

84

understand other languages, you can set up a priority list of languages.

85

This is done through a different environment variable, called

86

`LANGUAGE'. GNU `gettext' gives preference to `LANGUAGE' over `LANG'

87

for the purpose of message handling, but you still need to have `LANG'

88

set to the primary language; this is required by other parts of the

89

system libraries. For example, some Swedish users who would rather

90

read translations in German than English for when Swedish is not

91

available, set `LANGUAGE' to `sv:de' while leaving `LANG' to `sv_SE'.

92

93

Special advice for Norwegian users: The language code for Norwegian

94

bokma*l changed from `no' to `nb' recently (in 2003). During the

95

transition period, while some message catalogs for this language are

96

installed under `nb' and some older ones under `no', it's recommended

97

for Norwegian users to set `LANGUAGE' to `nb:no' so that both newer and

98

older translations are used.

99

100

In the `LANGUAGE' environment variable, but not in the `LANG'

101

environment variable, `LL_CC' combinations can be abbreviated as `LL'

102

to denote the language's main dialect. For example, `de' is equivalent

103

to `de_DE' (German as spoken in Germany), and `pt' to `pt_PT'

104

(Portuguese as spoken in Portugal) in this context.

105

106

1.3 Translating Teams

107

=====================

108

109

For the Free Translation Project to be a success, we need interested

110

people who like their own language and write it well, and who are also

111

able to synergize with other translators speaking the same language.

112

Each translation team has its own mailing list. The up-to-date list of

113

teams can be found at the Free Translation Project's homepage,

114

`http://translationproject.org/', in the "Teams" area.

115

116

If you'd like to volunteer to _work_ at translating messages, you

117

should become a member of the translating team for your own language.

118

The subscribing address is _not_ the same as the list itself, it has

119

`-request' appended. For example, speakers of Swedish can send a

120

message to `sv-request@li.org', having this message body:

subscribe

Keep in mind that team members are expected to participate

125

_actively_ in translations, or at solving translational difficulties,

126

rather than merely lurking around. If your team does not exist yet and

127

you want to start one, or if you are unsure about what to do or how to

128

get started, please write to `coordinator@translationproject.org' to

129

reach the coordinator for all translator teams.

130

131

The English team is special. It works at improving and uniformizing

132

the terminology in use. Proven linguistic skills are praised more than

133

programming skills, here.

134

135

1.4 Available Packages

136

======================

137

138

Languages are not equally supported in all packages. The following

139

matrix shows the current state of internationalization, as of June

140

2010. The matrix shows, in regard of each package, for which languages

141

PO files have been submitted to translation coordination, with a

142

translation percentage of at least 50%.

Some counters in the preceding matrix are higher than the number of

1249

visible blocks let us expect. This is because a few extra PO files are

1250

used for implementing regional variants of languages, or language

1251

dialects.

1252

1253

For a PO file in the matrix above to be effective, the package to

1254

which it applies should also have been internationalized and

1255

distributed as such by its maintainer. There might be an observable

1256

lag between the mere existence a PO file and its wide availability in a

1257

distribution.

If June 2010 seems to be old, you may fetch a more recent copy of

1260

this `ABOUT-NLS' file on most GNU archive sites. The most up-to-date

1261

matrix with full percentage details can be found at

1.5 Using `gettext' in new packages

1265

===================================

1266

1267

If you are writing a freely available program and want to

1268

internationalize it you are welcome to use GNU `gettext' in your

1269

package. Of course you have to respect the GNU Library General Public

1270

License which covers the use of the GNU `gettext' library. This means

1271

in particular that even non-free programs can use `libintl' as a shared

1272

library, whereas only free software can use `libintl' as a static

1273

library or use modified versions of `libintl'.

1274

1275

Once the sources are changed appropriately and the setup can handle

1276

the use of `gettext' the only thing missing are the translations. The

1277

Free Translation Project is also available for packages which are not

1278

developed inside the GNU project. Therefore the information given above

1279

applies also for every other Free Software Project. Contact

1280

`coordinator@translationproject.org' to make the `.pot' files available

1281

to the translation teams.
