| <h2 id="introduction">Introduction<a class="headerlink" href="#introduction" title="Permalink">¶</a></h2> |
| <p>OpenOffice traditionally has always had excellent localization support, |
| especially with its support of over 100 languages, including many |
| minority languages that are not commonly supported in commercial |
| products. Our community-led, all-volunteer, open source development |
| model facilitates this.</p> |
| <p>Each new version of OpenOffice requires the translations to be |
| updated, to add translations for terms and phrases that have been |
| added or changed in the product. So maintaining support for any given |
| translation is an ongoing effort, requiring volunteers to help keep |
| the translations current, complete and accurate.</p> |
| <p>A list of complete, released, translations |
| available in the most recent release of Apache |
| OpenOffice can be found <a href="https://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html">here</a>.</p> |
| <p>A larger list of languages, including ones where translation work is |
| still ongoing, can be found <a href="https://translate.apache.org/projects/aoo40/">here</a>, |
| while the full list of available translations, |
| including incomplete and dormant ones, is available |
| <a href="https://github.com/apache/openoffice/tree/trunk/extras/l10n/source">here</a>.</p> |
| <h2 id="how-to-help">How to Help<a class="headerlink" href="#how-to-help" title="Permalink">¶</a></h2> |
| <p>First, subscribe to our localization ("L10N") |
| mailing list by sending an email to |
| <a href="mailto:L10N-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org">L10N-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org</a>; |
| you will receive a confirmation request, just reply to it to be subscribed.</p> |
| <p>If an OpenOffice build is <a href="https://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html">already available</a> |
| in your language, you should download and |
| install it. If you find errors in the translation, you can report them |
| via bug reports in <a href="https://issues.apache.org/ooo/enter_bug.cgi?product=native-lang">Bugzilla</a> |
| or enter a suggested fix into Pootle (more on Pootle below). You can |
| contact the <a href="/mailing-lists.html#localization-mailing-list-public">L10n list</a> |
| also for reporting errors in the English version.</p> |
| <p>If an OpenOffice build is not yet available for your language, then that typically |
| means that the translation is not yet complete. You can help finish |
| the translation by obtaining an account in |
| <a href="https://translate.apache.org/projects/aoo40/">Pootle</a>, |
| our online translation system.</p> |
| <p>Please refer to our comprehensive |
| <a href="https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Pootle_User_Guide">guide to the OpenOffice Pootle server</a> |
| to know how to request access to Pootle and |
| find useful tips for translators.</p> |
| <p>When you have completed the initial translation, send a note to the |
| <a href="/mailing-lists.html#localization-mailing-list-public">L10n list</a>. |
| At that point we can make a special test build of Apache |
| OpenOffice for you to review. If more changes are required in the |
| translation, we can iterate on these steps, making changes, making new |
| test builds, etc.</p> |
| <p>Note: This process works best if there is a community of users |
| supporting the effort, and not just a single translator. The |
| additional users, even if they cannot help with the translation directly, |
| can help review the test build and point out errors in |
| translation, as well as other localization errors. Others on the |
| OpenOffice project might be able to help you find other interested |
| users, so let us know, via a note to the |
| <a href="/mailing-lists.html#localization-mailing-list-public">L10n list</a> |
| if you want that help.</p> |
