| Translating Xinha |
| ################################################################################ |
| |
| Hello you multi-lingual person you, so you would like to help translate Xinha |
| or create your own special translation to use? |
| |
| It's really easy! |
| |
| In the Xinha distribution you will find some files under the following directory |
| |
| /lang/merged/*.js |
| |
| you can see that there is a file for every currently existing translation there |
| and also one called "__new__.js". You will also see there are other lang files |
| around the place, they are used only when not using a merged file, you don't need |
| to touch them, just work on /lang/merged/*.js ! |
| |
| If your language is there already, simply open that .js file in your favourite |
| UTF-8 compliant text editor. |
| |
| If your language is not there, copy the __new__.js file and create a new one called |
| [yourlanguagecode].js, for example if you are translating into Klingon, perhaps |
| "kl.js" and then open it in your favourite UTF-8 compliant text editor. |
| |
| Please note that all translation is in UTF-8 Encoding, do not try to use other |
| character encodings (character sets), it's not going to end well. |
| |
| To actually test or use your translation, in your code right before you load |
| Xinha specify the language and file like this... |
| |
| <!-- Set Language To Klingon --> |
| <script type="text/javascript> |
| _editor_lang = 'kl'; |
| _editor_lang_merged_file = '/xinha/lang/merged/kl.js'; |
| </script> |
| |
| <!-- And Load Xinha As Usual --> |
| <script type="text/javascript" src="../XinhaCore.js"></script> |
| |
| that's it, try out Xinha and your language file should provide the translations. |
| |
| When you have made your translation file and would like to submit it |
| to Xinha for inclusion in a future distibution of Xinha, please just open a |
| ticket at http://trac.xinha.org/ and attach your new or improved language file, |
| be sure to let us know your details to add the the contributors list below! |
| |
| Tools |
| ################################################################################ |
| |
| In the contrib directory there are a few scripts written in PHP to handle the |
| translation setup tasks. |
| |
| lc_parse_strings.php |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| This script goes through all the Xinha files, javascript, php, html, and pulls |
| out the strings which should get translated. These are written into lc_base.js |
| translation files spread through the system, eg /lang/lc_base.js, |
| /modules/.../lang/lc_base.js, /plugins/.../lang/lc_base.js and so forth. |
| |
| lc_base.js files do not get committed to the Subversion repository they are |
| just temporary working files. |
| |
| lc_create_merged_file.php |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| This script takes all the lc_base.js files and the existing lang files for a given |
| language and creates a merged language file, for example |
| |
| php contrib/lc_create_merged_file.php fr /tmp/fr.js |
| |
| creates the French translation merged file /tmp/fr.js |
| |
| Note that existing merged files are not consulted during this process. |
| |
| Translators can then work on the merged file to do their translation work. |
| |
| To make things easy the `lang/merged/` directory contains pre-generated merged |
| language files of each language of the release, again these are not committed |
| to the subversion repository. |
| |
| If you run this script without arguments it will give you some help showing how |
| you can generate all the merged language files at once, this is done as part of |
| the release process. |
| |
| lc_split_merged_file.php |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| This script takes a merged file and splits it into the constituent lang files |
| these files are written into a temporary directory structure so that you can |
| use a diff/merge tool if you wish to compare them rather than actually copying |
| them into place. For example, |
| |
| php contrib/lc_split_merged_file.php /tmp/fr.js fr |
| |
| will create a directory structure (it will be printed at completion) in /tmp, |
| |
| /tmp/something-unique-here/lang/fr.js |
| /tmp/something-unique-here/modules/.../lang/fr.js |
| /tmp/something-unique-here/plugins/.../lang/fr.js |
| /tmp/something-unique-here/unsupported_plugins/.../lang/fr.js |
| |
| the directory and some instructions for easily "installing" the generated files |
| is printed. |
