docs about translation

[markus.staab@…]

would be nice to have a wiki article which describes, how/where to add translation files (e.g. de_DE) for interface translation

[jruigrok]

Please see TracL10N for now. I need to substantially clean that up though, but it should help you a bit already.

[markus.staab@…]

hmm... translation has nothing to do with L10N... it has to be I18N .. ?

[markus.staab@…]

i need to know, where to put the translated *.po files and how configure trac to use them.. im not interessted in the system how the i18n is implemented.

Btw, is there a dev page describing how to use this i18n branch (generate the catalogs and such)?

I thought there was, but now I am in doubt. Need to check it and if it does not exist I should create it. Anyway:

get Babel all installed

then from the trac-i18n branch:

python setup.py --help-commands

extract_messages is for creating the .pot

compile_catalog is for creating .mo files from .po files

after that build and install to test .mo files

I hope this gets you a bit further ;-)

[jruigrok]

I'll make sure to devote some time to this soon.

On the TracL10N site I put on some quick install hints.

[Markus.Staab]

its very confusing that the term L10N is used, even if we talk about I18N ...

[jruigrok]

A quick note: L10N is actually quite correct for the translations, since it is the localization of the software. I18N would be less appropriate since that's the framework on the software side that makes L10N an option.

[Markus.Staab]

I don't think so... if you talk about I18N you talk about translations and if you talk about L10N you talk about contents which you serve for a special region
