RE: FW: Internationalization of 4.1.2-patch1 (was RE: a question about "APPLY-4.1.2-patch1.bat")

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

[Please cross-post all replies]

Two localizations for the 4.1.2-patch1 hotfix are near completion.  

   They are for German (de) and Nederlands (nl) (often "Dutch" in English). 

It would be very useful to have localizations in French, Italian, and Spanish, 
preferably by native speakers.

NAMING THE FILES

Unfortunately, the English-language README and the download file have no 
language suffix.  They are

README-4.1.2-patch1-Windows.txt
and apache-openoffice-4.1.2-patch1-Win_x86.zip

Also, the install and uninstall script names do not reflect their language:

APPLY-4.1.2-patch1.bat
and REVERT-4.1.2-patch1.bat

LOCALIZED NAMING

For the additional localizations, language suffixes are proposed to an aid in 
multilingual situations and to prevent name collisions.  With suffixes, the 
relevant names would become (using German for example),

  README-4.1.2-patch1-Windows-de.txt
  Apache-openoffice-4.1.2-patch1-Win_x86_de.zip
  APPLY-4.1.2-patch1_de.bat
  REVERT-4.1.2-patch1_de.bat

In reviewing the localizations, I will adjust these as needed.

 1. Complete files are fine.  We can diff them to check them against the 
originals.

 2. Open a task issue (e.g., Dutch Language Windows 4.1.2-patch1 files) on the 
Bugzilla and submit your files as attachments.  This provides a place for their 
review and also any updating.

NOTE: If you use any special characters beyond the ISO 7-bit (ASCII) set, be 
certain to have your files in UTF-8.

I've translated README, APPLY.bat (messages) and REVERT.bat (messages) 
into Dutch


I've adjusted the page Jörg made at CWIKI with a table to register 
translations.


Two questions though:

1. do you only need the messages from APPLY.bat and REVERT.bat or can I 
sent the complete file somewhere ?


2. where do I put the translations. I'm not that a tech savvy
