71 Notes on the Free Translation Project
8***************************************
9
10Free software is going international!  The Free Translation Project is
11a way to get maintainers of free software, translators, and users all
12together, so that free software will gradually become able to speak many
13languages.  A few packages already provide translations for their
14messages.
15
16   Installers will find here some useful hints.  These notes also
17explain how users should proceed for getting the programs to use the
18available translations.  They tell how people wanting to contribute and
19work on translations can contact the appropriate team.
20
211.2 INSTALL Matters
22===================
23
24Some packages are "localizable" when properly installed; the programs
25they contain can be made to speak your own native language.  Most such
26packages use GNU `gettext'.  Other packages have their own ways to
27internationalization, predating GNU `gettext'.
28
29   By default, this package will be installed to allow translation of
30messages.  It will automatically detect whether the system already
31provides the GNU `gettext' functions.  The command:
32
33     ./configure --disable-nls
34
35will _totally_ disable translation of messages.
36
37   The configuration process will not test for the `catgets' function
38and therefore it will not be used.  The reason is that even an
39emulation of `gettext' on top of `catgets' could not provide all the
40extensions of the GNU `gettext' library.
41
42   Internationalized packages usually have many `po/LL.po' files, where
43LL gives an ISO 639 two-letter code identifying the language.  Unless
44translations have been forbidden at `configure' time by using the
45`--disable-nls' switch, all available translations are installed
46together with the package.  However, the environment variable `LINGUAS'
47may be set, prior to configuration, to limit the installed set.
48`LINGUAS' should then contain a space separated list of two-letter
49codes, stating which languages are allowed.
50
511.3 Using This Package
52======================
53
54As a user, if your language has been installed for this package, you
55only have to set the `LANG' environment variable to the appropriate
56`LL_CC' combination.  Here `LL' is an ISO 639 two-letter language code,
57and `CC' is an ISO 3166 two-letter country code.  For example, let's
58suppose that you speak German and live in Germany.  At the shell
59prompt, merely execute `setenv LANG de_DE' (in `csh'),
60`export LANG; LANG=de_DE' (in `sh') or `export LANG=de_DE' (in `bash').
61This can be done from your `.login' or `.profile' file, once and for
62all.
63
64   You might think that the country code specification is redundant.
65But in fact, some languages have dialects in different countries.  For
66example, `de_AT' is used for Austria, and `pt_BR' for Brazil.  The
67country code serves to distinguish the dialects.
68
69   The locale naming convention of `LL_CC', with `LL' denoting the
70language and `CC' denoting the country, is the one use on systems based
71on GNU libc.  On other systems, some variations of this scheme are
72used, such as `LL' or `LL_CC.ENCODING'.  You can get the list of
73locales supported by your system for your language by running the
74command `locale -a | grep '^LL''.
75
76   Not all programs have translations for all languages.  By default, an
77English message is shown in place of a nonexistent translation.  If you
78understand other languages, you can set up a priority list of languages.
79This is done through a different environment variable, called
80`LANGUAGE'.  GNU `gettext' gives preference to `LANGUAGE' over `LANG'
81for the purpose of message handling, but you still need to have `LANG'
82set to the primary language; this is required by other parts of the
83system libraries.  For example, some Swedish users who would rather
84read translations in German than English for when Swedish is not
85available, set `LANGUAGE' to `sv:de' while leaving `LANG' to `sv_SE'.
86
87   Special advice for Norwegian users: The language code for Norwegian
88bokma*l changed from `no' to `nb' recently (in 2003).  During the
89transition period, while some message catalogs for this language are
90installed under `nb' and some older ones under `no', it's recommended
91for Norwegian users to set `LANGUAGE' to `nb:no' so that both newer and
92older translations are used.
93
94   In the `LANGUAGE' environment variable, but not in the `LANG'
95environment variable, `LL_CC' combinations can be abbreviated as `LL'
96to denote the language's main dialect.  For example, `de' is equivalent
97to `de_DE' (German as spoken in Germany), and `pt' to `pt_PT'
98(Portuguese as spoken in Portugal) in this context.
99
1001.4 Translating Teams
101=====================
102
103For the Free Translation Project to be a success, we need interested
104people who like their own language and write it well, and who are also
105able to synergize with other translators speaking the same language.
106Each translation team has its own mailing list.  The up-to-date list of
107teams can be found at the Free Translation Project's homepage,
108`http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/', in the "National teams"
109area.
110
111   If you'd like to volunteer to _work_ at translating messages, you
112should become a member of the translating team for your own language.
113The subscribing address is _not_ the same as the list itself, it has
114`-request' appended.  For example, speakers of Swedish can send a
115message to `sv-request@li.org', having this message body:
116
117     subscribe
118
119   Keep in mind that team members are expected to participate
120_actively_ in translations, or at solving translational difficulties,
121rather than merely lurking around.  If your team does not exist yet and
122you want to start one, or if you are unsure about what to do or how to
123get started, please write to `translation@iro.umontreal.ca' to reach the
124coordinator for all translator teams.
125
126   The English team is special.  It works at improving and uniformizing
127the terminology in use.  Proven linguistic skills are praised more than
128programming skills, here.

1301.5 Available Packages
131======================
132
133Languages are not equally supported in all packages.  The following
134matrix shows the current state of internationalization, as of October
1352006.  The matrix shows, in regard of each package, for which languages
136PO files have been submitted to translation coordination, with a
137translation percentage of at least 50%.

1019   Some counters in the preceding matrix are higher than the number of
1020visible blocks let us expect.  This is because a few extra PO files are
1021used for implementing regional variants of languages, or language
1022dialects.
1023
1024   For a PO file in the matrix above to be effective, the package to
1025which it applies should also have been internationalized and
1026distributed as such by its maintainer.  There might be an observable
1027lag between the mere existence a PO file and its wide availability in a
1028distribution.

1031`ABOUT-NLS' file on most GNU archive sites.  The most up-to-date
1032matrix with full percentage details can be found at

10351.6 Using `gettext' in new packages
1036===================================
1037
1038If you are writing a freely available program and want to
1039internationalize it you are welcome to use GNU `gettext' in your
1040package.  Of course you have to respect the GNU Library General Public
1041License which covers the use of the GNU `gettext' library.  This means
1042in particular that even non-free programs can use `libintl' as a shared
1043library, whereas only free software can use `libintl' as a static
1044library or use modified versions of `libintl'.
1045
1046   Once the sources are changed appropriately and the setup can handle
1047the use of `gettext' the only thing missing are the translations.  The
1048Free Translation Project is also available for packages which are not
1049developed inside the GNU project.  Therefore the information given above
1050applies also for every other Free Software Project.  Contact
1051`translation@iro.umontreal.ca' to make the `.pot' files available to
1052the translation teams.
