Don't work on Libre Office 3.3 localization any more. Translation of Libre Office 3.5 started. This means that no more translation updates will be published for LO 3.3, your effort will be waisted unless Andras could merge your translations over to LO 3.4 and 3.5. Many strings will be more/less different though. I come across this e-mail which says you can upload your translation. but it doesn't provide any information. I am new to this. would you be so kind to guide me through this step by step please? You could either use a script to achieve this, or simply use a translation memory (TM) to transfer your strings. Software like Virtaal and Lokalize will do (and some more). For doing this with Lokalize here are some tips: Make a project for LO 3.3, configure all necessary info, then let Lokalize read all your project files into translation memory. Select all folders in the project window, then right click and choose 'Add to translation-memory'. Pull all LO 3.5 project files from Pootle in one Zip-file, unzip the folder structure into its own folder. Again, in Lokalize create a project for LO 3.5 (using the same TM, which is the default I think) and open it in the main window. For each of the files you can open them and choose Tools/Fill in all exact suggestions (and mark as fuzzy). Review and save the file. Beware that this procedure only fills in 100% identical translation strings, when reviewing other strings you may get suggestions for _similar_ strings, which may be easy to adapt into your project. There are also other ways to do this, but here I just described one quite simple procedure. Good luck for your work.

Hello Samson, 2012.02.07 22:19, sam rašė: I loveLibre Office and I want to have it in my Language Which is Amharic (Ethiopian) There are two ways to localize Libre Office.

I come across this e-mail which says you can upload your translation. but it doesn't provide any information. I am new to this. would you be so kind to guide me through this step by step please? First, sorry for inconvenience, but that's true. If you had been working on LibO3.3 all that time, some of that effort will be wasted (hopefully, not much). I have created an empty libo35x_ui project for Amharic. You can zip up your translation (make sure the internal file layout is exactly the same as downloaded) and upload it to https://translations.documentfoundation.org/am/libo35x_ui/. If that doesn't work out well, you may want to ask Andras to help you with migrating your files to 3.5. He might know a few tricks that would help achieve better percentage after migration to 3.5. Other than that, I have two suggestions for you: 1) even if you work offline, it makes sense to upload your work to Pootle from time to time (or whenever you have such possibility). This would not only ensure that the fruit of your work (even if only partial) won't be lost for any reason, but would allow help you (and others) begin testing it right away. 2) please list yourself/your team on the wiki page here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Language_Teams. This would ensure that if anyone else comes up wishing to localize LibreOffice into Amharic, you could cooperate and work faster instead of working on the same strings concurrently.
