Hi,
Hi,
based on the analysis [1] of Andre and the feedback I got from
Raphael, Pavel, Claudio I would like to propose the following approach
to bring our AOO project on the Apache Pootle server into a well
defined state.
Status: Raphael had set up the current project based on the backup data.
We have 2 projects, one for UI and one for Help. I think that is a
good schema that we should use in the future as well. For the future I
would propose a schema where we have a 2 projects. One for the last
stable version to allow translators to finish their translation work
for a stable release. And a second working project that we use for
continuous integration and ongoing translation work.
Something like
aoo34 - Apache OpenOffice 3.4 UI
aoo34help - Apache OpenOffice 3.4 Help
aoo40 - Apache OpenOffice 4.0 UI
aoo40 - Apache OpenOffice 4.0 Help
Proposal
- update the existing Pootle server with a new set of templates [2]
based on the latest en-US.sdf [3] file that I have prepared on the
current sources.
- sync the already available language against the new templates
- if no problems comes up (worked locally for me) we can start with
the translation work o the pootle server.
- integrate the new pt-BR po files on the Pootle server as well. As
well as all other potentially new available languages
- ones we have a language completed, we will integrate it back in the
po/sdf files and integrate it our repository.
Is there a documentation explaining how to
1) turn .sdf into .pot, and
2) how .po files are turned into .sdf ?
Even a script, or the right command lines would make me happy ;-) Thanks
in advance !
well reading my email would have helped ;-) Especially the references
and here the roundtrip section under [1]
Juergen
For technical details how to do each step you can visit the round trip
section under [1].
We should also think about future improvements, see Andre comments
under [1]. There is huge room for improvements and we can think about
a continuous integration of the localizations. At least from the
pootle server into our repo ... But that is something for later
Most important is that we get a well defined start state to begin ;-)
Any opinions or further ideas?
For the future, I'd suggest, in every l10n/source/$a_locale, to split
.sdf into stable and unstable part. Looks like sort of cws, but for
localize.sdf files. The timing could be:
- UI translation freeze : after QA, the localize.sdf will become stable,
means keep it modified until next release.
- All new strings, will be added in one new file, named
localize-unstable.sdf (in every l10n/source/$a_locale), and we'll
continue this way until the next UI translation freeze.
- When all the strings in unstable will be considered as ok, let's merge
its content in the stable part.
btw : I wrote one crappy bash script creating new .sdf files from ascii
files containing new constants, pathes and english-US strings. Just in
case ...
Back to the feature, the stable part, once verified ok, will keep its
content until the next push. And so on. Could be done this way in Apache
OpenOffice (untested .. needs to be verified) :

As example, here is what I did for OOo4Kids and OOoLight (the idea of
the localize-OOo.sdf was to contribute back the presenter screen or
annotation mode strings into AOOo). As you can see, the idea is a bit
different, but the principle counts here :
.IF "$(OOo4Kids)"=="YES"
application_name=-OOo4Kids

application_name=-OOoLight
