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

---

See TracL10N.

[Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven]

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.

anybody?

cboos:

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 ;-)

[Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven]

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

[Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven]

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 …

[Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven]

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

Regenerated messages.pot

[alexey.lustin <lustin@…>]

In what time sandbox/i18n/trac/locale/messages.pot have regenerated

what i meen?

i've download the latest Babel-1.0dev_r358 and in Trac said

./setup.py extract_messages

my workcopy of i18n At revision 6706.

then i said

svn status
?      trac/locale/es_AR/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo
M      trac/locale/messages.pot

i dont now, may be it not need, but i will atached the patch for trac/locale/messages.pot

[anonymous]

not in messages.pot

#: web/auth.py:89 #, python-format msgid "logged in %s" msgstr ""

maybe create new ticket for this type of messages?

[anonymous]

This desperately needs some docs. I've installed 0.12 and the "language" panel on the preferences shows up, but changing it does nothing. I have no idea what I'm missing or where to start.

#7843 closed as duplicate - asking for some more precisions about the installation of .mo files.

Replying to markus.staab@…:

We are working on that. Hope we will have it in production until the end of year.

Please do not close this ticket. It's highly important to me to have a resolution as soon as possible.

[Christian Boos]

Focus the ticket on expanding TracL10N for adding translation support to plugins.

The TracMercurial plugin has translations, so it's already possible to do it by following that example, but a few more guidelines wouldn't hurt…

Oops, there was already a ticket dedicated to this (#6387), so this ticket is about the general documentation for translation, which is there in TracL10N and is enough. Improvements can be contributed directly by editing that wiki page.
