1.1 misho 1: 1 Notes on the Free Translation Project
2: ***************************************
3:
4: Free software is going international! The Free Translation Project is
5: a way to get maintainers of free software, translators, and users all
6: together, so that free software will gradually become able to speak many
7: languages. A few packages already provide translations for their
8: messages.
9:
10: If you found this `ABOUT-NLS' file inside a distribution, you may
11: assume that the distributed package does use GNU `gettext' internally,
12: itself available at your nearest GNU archive site. But you do _not_
13: need to install GNU `gettext' prior to configuring, installing or using
14: this package with messages translated.
15:
16: Installers will find here some useful hints. These notes also
17: explain how users should proceed for getting the programs to use the
18: available translations. They tell how people wanting to contribute and
19: work on translations can contact the appropriate team.
20:
21: When reporting bugs in the `intl/' directory or bugs which may be
22: related to internationalization, you should tell about the version of
23: `gettext' which is used. The information can be found in the
24: `intl/VERSION' file, in internationalized packages.
25:
26: 1.1 Quick configuration advice
27: ==============================
28:
29: If you want to exploit the full power of internationalization, you
30: should configure it using
31:
32: ./configure --with-included-gettext
33:
34: to force usage of internationalizing routines provided within this
35: package, despite the existence of internationalizing capabilities in the
36: operating system where this package is being installed. So far, only
37: the `gettext' implementation in the GNU C library version 2 provides as
38: many features (such as locale alias, message inheritance, automatic
39: charset conversion or plural form handling) as the implementation here.
40: It is also not possible to offer this additional functionality on top
41: of a `catgets' implementation. Future versions of GNU `gettext' will
42: very likely convey even more functionality. So it might be a good idea
43: to change to GNU `gettext' as soon as possible.
44:
45: So you need _not_ provide this option if you are using GNU libc 2 or
46: you have installed a recent copy of the GNU gettext package with the
47: included `libintl'.
48:
49: 1.2 INSTALL Matters
50: ===================
51:
52: Some packages are "localizable" when properly installed; the programs
53: they contain can be made to speak your own native language. Most such
54: packages use GNU `gettext'. Other packages have their own ways to
55: internationalization, predating GNU `gettext'.
56:
57: By default, this package will be installed to allow translation of
58: messages. It will automatically detect whether the system already
59: provides the GNU `gettext' functions. If not, the included GNU
60: `gettext' library will be used. This library is wholly contained
61: within this package, usually in the `intl/' subdirectory, so prior
62: installation of the GNU `gettext' package is _not_ required.
63: Installers may use special options at configuration time for changing
64: the default behaviour. The commands:
65:
66: ./configure --with-included-gettext
67: ./configure --disable-nls
68:
69: will, respectively, bypass any pre-existing `gettext' to use the
70: internationalizing routines provided within this package, or else,
71: _totally_ disable translation of messages.
72:
73: When you already have GNU `gettext' installed on your system and run
74: configure without an option for your new package, `configure' will
75: probably detect the previously built and installed `libintl.a' file and
76: will decide to use this. This might not be desirable. You should use
77: the more recent version of the GNU `gettext' library. I.e. if the file
78: `intl/VERSION' shows that the library which comes with this package is
79: more recent, you should use
80:
81: ./configure --with-included-gettext
82:
83: to prevent auto-detection.
84:
85: The configuration process will not test for the `catgets' function
86: and therefore it will not be used. The reason is that even an
87: emulation of `gettext' on top of `catgets' could not provide all the
88: extensions of the GNU `gettext' library.
89:
90: Internationalized packages usually have many `po/LL.po' files, where
91: LL gives an ISO 639 two-letter code identifying the language. Unless
92: translations have been forbidden at `configure' time by using the
93: `--disable-nls' switch, all available translations are installed
94: together with the package. However, the environment variable `LINGUAS'
95: may be set, prior to configuration, to limit the installed set.
96: `LINGUAS' should then contain a space separated list of two-letter
97: codes, stating which languages are allowed.
98:
99: 1.3 Using This Package
100: ======================
101:
102: As a user, if your language has been installed for this package, you
103: only have to set the `LANG' environment variable to the appropriate
104: `LL_CC' combination. If you happen to have the `LC_ALL' or some other
105: `LC_xxx' environment variables set, you should unset them before
106: setting `LANG', otherwise the setting of `LANG' will not have the
107: desired effect. Here `LL' is an ISO 639 two-letter language code, and
108: `CC' is an ISO 3166 two-letter country code. For example, let's
109: suppose that you speak German and live in Germany. At the shell
110: prompt, merely execute `setenv LANG de_DE' (in `csh'),
111: `export LANG; LANG=de_DE' (in `sh') or `export LANG=de_DE' (in `bash').
112: This can be done from your `.login' or `.profile' file, once and for
113: all.
114:
115: You might think that the country code specification is redundant.
116: But in fact, some languages have dialects in different countries. For
117: example, `de_AT' is used for Austria, and `pt_BR' for Brazil. The
118: country code serves to distinguish the dialects.
119:
120: The locale naming convention of `LL_CC', with `LL' denoting the
121: language and `CC' denoting the country, is the one use on systems based
122: on GNU libc. On other systems, some variations of this scheme are
123: used, such as `LL' or `LL_CC.ENCODING'. You can get the list of
124: locales supported by your system for your language by running the
125: command `locale -a | grep '^LL''.
126:
127: Not all programs have translations for all languages. By default, an
128: English message is shown in place of a nonexistent translation. If you
129: understand other languages, you can set up a priority list of languages.
130: This is done through a different environment variable, called
131: `LANGUAGE'. GNU `gettext' gives preference to `LANGUAGE' over `LANG'
132: for the purpose of message handling, but you still need to have `LANG'
133: set to the primary language; this is required by other parts of the
134: system libraries. For example, some Swedish users who would rather
135: read translations in German than English for when Swedish is not
136: available, set `LANGUAGE' to `sv:de' while leaving `LANG' to `sv_SE'.
137:
138: Special advice for Norwegian users: The language code for Norwegian
139: bokma*l changed from `no' to `nb' recently (in 2003). During the
140: transition period, while some message catalogs for this language are
141: installed under `nb' and some older ones under `no', it's recommended
142: for Norwegian users to set `LANGUAGE' to `nb:no' so that both newer and
143: older translations are used.
144:
145: In the `LANGUAGE' environment variable, but not in the `LANG'
146: environment variable, `LL_CC' combinations can be abbreviated as `LL'
147: to denote the language's main dialect. For example, `de' is equivalent
148: to `de_DE' (German as spoken in Germany), and `pt' to `pt_PT'
149: (Portuguese as spoken in Portugal) in this context.
150:
151: 1.4 Translating Teams
152: =====================
153:
154: For the Free Translation Project to be a success, we need interested
155: people who like their own language and write it well, and who are also
156: able to synergize with other translators speaking the same language.
157: Each translation team has its own mailing list. The up-to-date list of
158: teams can be found at the Free Translation Project's homepage,
159: `http://translationproject.org/', in the "Teams" area.
160:
161: If you'd like to volunteer to _work_ at translating messages, you
162: should become a member of the translating team for your own language.
163: The subscribing address is _not_ the same as the list itself, it has
164: `-request' appended. For example, speakers of Swedish can send a
165: message to `sv-request@li.org', having this message body:
166:
167: subscribe
168:
169: Keep in mind that team members are expected to participate
170: _actively_ in translations, or at solving translational difficulties,
171: rather than merely lurking around. If your team does not exist yet and
172: you want to start one, or if you are unsure about what to do or how to
173: get started, please write to `coordinator@translationproject.org' to
174: reach the coordinator for all translator teams.
175:
176: The English team is special. It works at improving and uniformizing
177: the terminology in use. Proven linguistic skills are praised more than
178: programming skills, here.
179:
180: 1.5 Available Packages
181: ======================
182:
183: Languages are not equally supported in all packages. The following
184: matrix shows the current state of internationalization, as of November
185: 2007. The matrix shows, in regard of each package, for which languages
186: PO files have been submitted to translation coordination, with a
187: translation percentage of at least 50%.

1050: 1.6 Using `gettext' in new packages
1051: ===================================
1052:
1053: If you are writing a freely available program and want to
1054: internationalize it you are welcome to use GNU `gettext' in your
1055: package. Of course you have to respect the GNU Library General Public
1056: License which covers the use of the GNU `gettext' library. This means
1057: in particular that even non-free programs can use `libintl' as a shared
1058: library, whereas only free software can use `libintl' as a static
1059: library or use modified versions of `libintl'.
1060:
1061: Once the sources are changed appropriately and the setup can handle
1062: the use of `gettext' the only thing missing are the translations. The
1063: Free Translation Project is also available for packages which are not
1064: developed inside the GNU project. Therefore the information given above
1065: applies also for every other Free Software Project. Contact
1066: `coordinator@translationproject.org' to make the `.pot' files available
1067: to the translation teams.
