Hi there, [Sorry for the cross-post, please CC replies to zope3-dev@zope.org only.]
a final Zope 3.1 release is approaching rapidly and it is still lacking some important translations. Yes, you heard right, the Zope 3 management interface is fully i18n capable and we would like to ask you to help translating the next generation Zope release to your mother tongue. Here's how you can help: Instead of requiring you to become a Zope contributor just for translating a few messages, we are reusing the infrastructure of Ubuntu Linux's Launchpad application. This is a through-the-web package management application (made with Zope 3, by the way) featuring a translation module called Rosetta. It lets you manage translations for packages in Ubuntu Linux (Zope 3 is one of them) through-the-web. These are the steps you can take to help us with translations: 1. Get a user account for Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/+login 2. Drop me a private email in which you tell me your Launchpad account name and the email address you registered with. That way I can add you to the Zope 3 team in Launchpad. 3. In the meantime you should already be able to translate messages to your mother tongue: https://launchpad.net/products/zope/+series/zope3.1/+pots/zope. You can a) edit messages through-the-web or b) download them as a PO file, edit them in your favourite editor (poEdit and KBabel are good ones, for example) and re-upload the PO file. If your language is not yet available, you can also take the POT file from http://svn.zope.org/Zope3/branches/Zope-3.1/src/zope/app/locales/zope.pot?rev=37588&view=auto. Just be sure to modify the PO headers accordingly. I will be synchronizing what's in Rosetta with the Zope 3 subversion repository hopefully frequently and at least once before the Zope 3.1 final release which is scheduled for mid-August. If you have any questions regarding translations, don't hesitate to contact the Zope 3 developers on [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you have questions regarding the use of Launchpad/Rosetta, you can drop by on IRC: #launchpad on irc.freenode.net. Note that in order to use the Launchpad application for translating Zope, you need to agree to its terms of use (https://launchpad.net/legal), especially that your translations will be published under the same license as Zope is (ZPL 2.1). Much thanks in advance and best regards, Philipp _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
