Translation of Trac to Catalan/Català [ca]

[tom.niemi@…]

This ticket should be used to coordinate the translation to Catalan/Català?. See also source:trunk/trac/locale/ca_ES/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po

[jruigrok]

It might be nice, yes, but I would really need someone for doing that translation since I have little resources for working on this.

[anonymous]

Would be happy to provide all the help needed to make the translation. Is there some timeline when this should be done, and well, few pointers what to do would be nice :) I saw that format would be .po, which is just extraction of all text strings from code, is this 'final' solution for making the translations ?

[jruigrok]

I added the file in r7419.

Please see source:trunk/trac/locale/ca_ES/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po

Adjust summary to reflect the other tickets.

[jordi@…]

I translated trac 0.9.x long ago, using an unofficial patch which gettextized trac and allowed for alternative (translated) templates.

I can dig up my translation and merge it with the current PO file, and I would be very interested in maintaining up to date officially.

[tom.niemi@…]

M'encantaria provar aquella traducció en català i ajudar a mantenir-lo.
I would like to try that translation and help to maintain it.

[jruigrok]

Well, any help would be welcome, so please attach files or diffs/patches so that we can add them to the official repository.

Seems taht 57.8% of trac translation is actually 31.1% translation

Today I managed to find my old 0.9.x translation in a server that is still running the patched version.

Unsurprisingly, not a big amount of messages was reused, so I spent a few hours translating Trac 0.12 from scratch, after looking at the current translation and deciding it was better to start over -- the current one does not follow Softcatalà's Catalan software translation guideline and is plenty of translation errors and missunderstandings.

Attaching current file, which is roughly at 67%, and I think the most visible messages are already dealt with.

Btw, Jeroen, does the langcode need to be ca_ES? This translation should be OK for ca_AD and ca_FR as well. Actually, most of the country codes could be dropped for many of the current translations, if I'm not missing anything...

Thanks,
Jordi

New Catalan translation (67% with POT file from r8667)

... Attaching current file, which is roughly at 67%, and I think the most visible messages are already dealt with.

Committed as r9024. Sorry for the delay, but we're thinking about improving the contribution process (using Transifex, giving svn accounts for translators, ...).
Please join Trac-dev MailingList if not already done for discussing this.

... does the langcode need to be ca_ES? This translation should be OK for ca_AD and ca_FR as well. Actually, most of the country codes could be dropped for many of the current translations, if I'm not missing anything...

Right, that's also what Dimitris from Transifex suggested we should do.

ca_ES renamed to ca in r9027.

Catalan update for 0.12

[Jordi Mallach <jordi@…>]

I have attached a partial update for 0.12, which translates a good amount of the most visible strings.

I'm not sure if it's practical, but if this trac is updated with this file, it'd make my testing a lot easier. Thanks! :)

[Jordi Mallach <jordi@…>]

Sorry for the noise, but I've completed quite a few more strings (148 to go). Attaching a new file.

[Jordi Mallach <jordi@…>]

Catalan update for 0.12.

[cboos]

I committed trac-0.12.ca.2.po​ in r9877, thanks!

However, there's a lot more to go than 148 messages, and before you spend too much time on translating those messages, be sure to first work on an up to date catalog file! That's very important, otherwise you risk to translate messages that are no longer there, or fragmented messages that are now consolidated, etc.

Please have a look at TracL10N#TranslationWorkflow to learn about the various ways to get your catalog up to date.

Ugh, indeed this was a nasty surprise. I've started working on the many new fuzzy and unstranslated messages. I'm used to other projects having po files updated at least when they release, so I never thought I'd be so out of date. I've downloaded the pot and msgmerged myself. Thanks for the warning!

Btw, is it common for translators to get commit access after a while? If trust is an issue, I guess I can easily prove I've been contributing to many free software projects for over a decade, have a GPG key well positioned in the web of trust and so on.

Just wondering. :)

New 0.12 update using a fresh .pot

[Jordi Mallach <jordi@…>]

I have attached yet another update. I have actually installed Trac 0.12 to have a look at the result, and the most visible stuff is done. Still one last push to do, though!

866 missatges traduïts, 229 missatges no traduïts.

Perfect, that's really the best way to verify the messages are correctly translated in context.

Two actually ... have a look at how to translate the Javascript messages as well!

I don't know in general, but at least the Subversion project has been doing this for a while. And for us, it has proven to be very effective, you're going to be our 16th translator having commit access ;-)

[jordi]

As of r9909, the Catalan translation for trunk (Trac 0.12) is complete.
