Hello Nicolae, Congrats on your achievement !
I'm the maintainer for the French translation, and we started just like you did. Rosetta is a fine tool to get started, but it quickly gets cumbersome. Once you feel most/all of the strings are translated, you need to get your datas out of Rosetta - that is, generate the .po file. This file contains all your translations, and you will only work on this from now on - but not directly : through dedicated tools like the free poEdit ( http://www.poedit.org/ ) . Through this mailing-list, you will be given access (by Ryan, probably) to the WordPress Internationalization (i18n for short) server, where you will put your file every time you change it. This is done through a versioing server called Subversion (or SVN), and upload/update is done with free tools like TortoiseSVN ( http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ ). If you want to learn more about the inner workings of SVN, read the free book : http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ The WordPress i18n server is freely accessible here, where you can see the other translations' directories : http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/ You can find a lot of informations on the Codex. Read this whole page : http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress Learn about the differences between POT file, PO file and MO file, read about using Subversion. It's really not that hard to get used to these new tools, and it's really, really worth it. x. On 11/01/07, Crefelean Nicolae <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello, I've just finished the Romanian translation with Rosetta and one of your moderators sent me in here to join the other "polyglots". :) What's next? Who and where will publish the translation? I see there's work on v2.1. Will the v2.0.x translations 100% work with v2.1 or we have to take it from 0 every time a new version comes up? How it is done here? Thanks!
