[xwiki-users] Translation Volunteers needed
Hi, Guillaume (Lerouge) has done incredible work to transform all hardcoded strings in XWiki Enterprise to translations strings. We now have 620 translations strings more !!!! So we need all the help we can to get these translated before 1.8 final. I think we can achieve the following languages: French: 622 translations to do German: 629 translations to do Romanian: 1516 translations to do French and German were complete before we added the 620 more translations, and Romanian we HAVE to be able to do it with the number of romanians in the team ! Guillaume will coordinate the French translation. We need a volunteer from the Romanian team to coordinate the Ro translation. Let me know if there are volunteers to coordinate the translations effort in Geman or other languages before the final 1.8 release.

I can also help with German, and I already asked about the exact workflow on the translations 20 days ago - because I saw some flaws in the existing translation strings. So, how to do it? Henning
Our localization tool is here: http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/L10N/ Register yourself to create an account, then login. You can then look for missing translations for any given language and propose new translations. Committers will then review them before applying the updated patch.

But where is the file ApplicationResources.properties?
Bests, sime

For the volunteers, the workflow is: 1/ Register on http://l10n.xwiki.org 2/ Visit http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XE/XWikiCoreResources 3/ Click "view empty" next to the language you want to work on For german: http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XE/XWikiCoreResources?action=viewempty&... 4/ Start filling and don't forget to hit save. For now this will help make a lot of progress. Once we are up to date there are some more advanced functions but we don't need them now. Ludovic Ludovic Dubost a écrit :

A XWiki Glossar would be a good thing. It could especially help to create a more consistent terminology for the translation. Also some place for discussion of terms would be good. hel. Ludovic Dubost-2 wrote:

Indeed, it's quite informal right now.
It could especially help to create a more consistent terminology for the translation.
Also some place for discussion of terms would be good.
Well, what we can for now is that you keep a list of terms you're not sure ho to translate. Once you have 10 or 20 of them, you post them here on the list with your suggestions and we work together to decide on a term. Once this is done you can input them in the transation tool. WDYT? Guillaume

Would be some start. Having something in the real translation tool where a wiki page with discussions and comments from translaters can be listed and checked would be interesting, I think. And maybe also, in the same place, a link to a place in the wiki in the language of choice where the string is used, so it can be seen in context. Including the english version for comparison ;) Henning

That would be great but maybe not to expect in the short term. The method I use to find where strings are located is through Eclipse's search feature. It's quite effective, but it requires that you have a full XWiki development environment setup. Otherwise you may be able to find it by googling using the following query: ' site:svn.xwiki.org "your.translation.string.here" ' (but I'm not sure the Google index is up-to-date enough as of today). It should return the name of the page, as in: http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/xwiki-applications/trunk/adminis... Where XWiki/ResetPassword.xml is the name of the page where the string is located. Not optimal, but at least this exists :-) Hope this helps, Guillaume

Hi, some more questions: Will translations in status review be in the new release. And is someone else contributing to the german translation (would be good to know). Made some translations and think there are some problems the way it is done now. Missing the context it is somtimes hard to tell what is ment, or if there should be a space at the end .... In the 'Latest Translations' part of the translation wiki theres a filter funktion which would be great for the rest to. I think its really important that there is a possibility to compare translations of similar words ... Guillaume Lerouge wrote:

Thats ok, also i think a space in the wiki where a page for questions for each language, information who is working on the translation of the language .... would be more effective. So some terms im not sure Page and document seems to be used for the same thing "tdwimgdoc XWiki Document" "panelwizard . pagelayout Page Layout" "rightsmanager . documentrequireviewrights (*) Some documents require special rights to be view." and sometimes not (office importer). "nodocstoimport No documents found in the selected archive" Is a Document always a attached File or imported Document? Somtimes specific terms are translated, i don't know, but for some terms its quite hard to find a good translation and it would be better not to translate them. Space - Rubrik Shedule Space - ?Aufgabensteuerungsrubrik? Pool - ?Pool? Job - ?Aufgabe? Job type - ?Aufgabentyp? Shedule - ?Aufgabensteuerung? Another question is, should the translation be formal or informal?

Hi Helmut, thanks for your time and effort :-) Will translations in status review be in the new release. And is someone else contributing to the german translation (would be good to know). They'll be included in the new release if they're ready by the end of the week. Made some translations and think there are some problems the way it is done now. Missing the context it is somtimes hard to tell what is ment, or if there should be a space at the end .... That's because of the way I handled some translations (I made some beginner's mistakes). See http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XPWATCHLIST-48for the full explanation. To find where any given transation string is used, you can browse XWiki's source code using an IDE's search function, looking for the string name => it will return the name of the document where the string is used, useful for context. In the 'Latest Translations' part of the translation wiki theres a filter funktion which would be great for the rest to. I think its really important that there is a possibility to compare translations of similar words ... Guillaume Lerouge wrote:

"nodocstoimport No documents found in the selected archive" Is a Document always a attached File or imported Document? Page is sometimes instead of XWiki Document Document can be either XWiki Document or Office Document or Attached Document I'd recommend using Page instead of XWiki Document, Document for Office documents (word, excel, PDF...) and File for attached documents. Somtimes specific terms are translated, i don't know, but for some terms its quite hard to find a good translation and it would be better not to translate them. Space - Rubrik Shedule Space - ?Aufgabensteuerungsrubrik? Pool - ?Pool? Job - ?Aufgabe? Job type - ?Aufgabentyp? Shedule - ?Aufgabensteuerung? Technical terms do not necessarily need to be translated.Typically, the terms you highlight above are used in the Scheduler, which will most likely be used only by an admin and not by standard users. Thus you may not need to translate it. Another question is, should the translation be formal or informal? We're aiming at enterprise use, thus probably formal. Thanks to you :-) Guillaume -- Guillaume Lerouge Product Manager - XWiki Skype ID : wikibc http://guillaumelerouge.com/

That would be nice but it's not so easy to know on which url the string is used.. We could find the template or wiki page and provide a URL to the source. But right now this is too much work for the translation tool developer (which happened to be me until now) Ludovic

Hi, i decided to review all german translations because i found they are not really consistent. So i used the "View All" option, but when i save one result page i have to get back to the "View All" again and (i'm not sure) but i think the terms are not in the same order when i call the same result page twice (very bad for reviewing all terms). Whats the best way to edit and review all translation terms of a language? Thanks hel. Ludovic Dubost-2 wrote:

The best way is the Review button.. Once you have checked "reviewed" them they will not come up again. http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XE/XWikiCoreResources?action=review&lan... We don't yet have a trusted reviewers group but it would be great to have one at one point. So for now anybody can review. I think the process should be that a review is a second chance to check translations before considering them valid. Ludovic hel-o a écrit :
