I uploaded to the Dutch folder what I got so far. Can you see the files?
I can see the files in folder_contents view. I suggest that you create
a sub-folder for those files, instead of keeping them in the main
folder. You might also want a second subfolder for people to put
reviews of your translations, but that's up to you.
If you have trouble creating a subfolder, let us know.
Now I wonder. This is very rought first draft of those files. When I
polish up the files during the second pass, how do I replace those
files? Do I delete them and then create documents with the same
names? Or is there a better way? The last file is only halfway
translated. I want to store it there though, as an off site backup.
Can I update the file as I get further along with the translation?
If you want to overwrite the existing file (keeping the filename the
same), here is how.
When you are in file_view for a document (for example,
http://oooauthors.org/nl/0101GS-WatIsOOo.odt/file_view ), click on the
Edit tab just above the filename.
On the file_edit_form page, you can change the title and/or the
description if you wish, then browse for the revised file on your
computer and select it. Finally, scroll down to the bottom of the page
and click the Save button.
Then there is the matter of the web site. If I would like to see an
entire Dutch section to it, where are the files that need to be
translated for achieving that?
If you mean the words on the tabs ("User Guide", "Education", "FAQs"
etc) and other things at the top of the page... I don't remember how
that is done, but I know you can change the words, and the number of
tabs. Marko or Daniel and maybe some others should be able to tell
you, faster than I can look it up and explain it. I think you will
also have to have another level of permission too.
If you mean the files that explain how to use the website, here are
the main files related to the English-language section:
http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/contribute
http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/resources/
The second item is actually a folder containing a lot of "how to use
this website" info as well as some other things that may not be relevant.
Note: the German section and I think some of the others use a
different process, not the same as the English section uses. It's up
to you (and anyone else in the Dutch section) what process you prefer.
You probably will want a different "Review List" (not the English
docs) to show up on the Dutch first page. I'm not sure how to change
what shows up there. (I think I have instructions here on how to do
it, but I've never actually done it.) Marko or Daniel or someone can
probably fix that for you.
Hi Jean,
Many thanks for your replies. It's all a bit clearer now. I'll start by
moving the files to their own folder. When uploading a new file on top
of another one, is a history kept, i.e. is it possible to go back to a
previous version? I'll have a look at the review list. For the moment I
made most of the links point to documents on the English side of the
site so they aren't dead links. I'll see when I get to translating those
files as well and then link to them properly from the welcome page.
Cheers,
Jo
