Here are the basic guidelines for "oldstyle" modules.
1. decide which module you want to translate documentation for
(if it's Gnome Users Guide, it's "gnome-user-docs/gnome2-user-guide/C"[1])
2. check it out from CVS, i.e. if you use anonymous access:
cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/gnome co
gnome-user-docs/gnome2-user-guide/C
3. generate a POT file using xml2po (part of gnome-doc-utils):
cd gnome-user-docs/gnome2-user-guide/C
xml2po -o user-guide.pot -e user-guide.xml
4. Translate user-guide.pot and save it to eg. "ne.po" (for Nepali)
5. Use xml2po again to merge the translation back into XML file:
cd gnome-user-docs/gnome2-user-guide/C
mkdir ../ne
xml2po -p ne.po -e -o ../ne/user-guide.xml user-guide.xml
6. create .omf file for you language
For new gnome-doc-utils style documentation, I'm just working on a
simple statistics generation page, and it will be much easier for
anyone to translate documentation by fetching a PO file, and simply
committing it (almost just like you do for regular translations)—it
will get regenerated during build of a module, so you need not worry
about merging it back.
I'll post a separate announcement once this is ready (note that
currently, only Bug Buddy is using a new style of documentation
infrastructure, so we'll need help in switching all the modules to it
as well).
Cheers,
Danilo
