Running msgmerge with two PO files

2007-01-08 Thread Leonardo Fontenelle
When we used l10n-status.gnome.org and PO files were much easier to
get then POT files, I tried "msgmerge local-po-file
remote-msgmerged-po-file" with an odd behaviour (describe below). This
e-mail is to let you guys know that starting with the next gettext
version, we'll be able to do that safely.

Thank you for reporting this. This will be implemented in the next gettext
release (0.16.2), through this patch.

Epiphany-extensions used to be listed under the "extra" release set
(in l10n-status.g.o), but I can't find it this way in l10n.gnome.org
(which is a new URL for progress.gnome.org) -- at least, not for
pt_BR.

Any way, it's a module and can be found in:

Should I translate "TRUE" and "FALSE"?

2007-02-14 Thread Leonardo Fontenelle
The "Localising GNOME Applications" guide [1] says I shouldn't, but
I'm not sure its reasons are still valid:

--->8---
TRUE and FALSE

"TRUE" and "FALSE" show up in gtk+ and in Gconf and in a lot of
files generated by Glade. (These will have a name ending in .glade.)
Do not translate them. Programs expect to see them and will be
confused if they don't.
--->8---

Currently I see lots of "TRUE" and "FALSE" in messages from schema
files, describing how to use the keys. Eg: "If this is set to TRUE, it
will rain tomorrow"; or "Choose your meals. Works only if
have_microwave is TRUE." Should this occurrences be translated?

Double space in original messages

2007-02-20 Thread Leonardo Fontenelle
Some modules have double spaces ("  ") in the original messagens,
usually between two sentences (after a dot). Example from
gnome-control-center:

"No Assistive Technology is available on your system.  The 'gok'
package must be installed in order to get on-screen keyboard support,
and the 'orca' package must be installed for screenreading and
magnifying capabilities."

Some times the spaces are clearly used to fill the interface, and then
the translator has no option but repeating them. In the example and
similar messages, are the double spaces necessary?

Thanks!

Re: gnome-power-manager string freeze break?

2007-02-25 Thread Leonardo Fontenelle
If you change the original, damned-lies will update automatically the
message catalogs, which will include three fuzzy translations. This
change is done outside the SVN, which will be updated only when the
translators commit the updates.

IMHO, you shouldn't mark the messages as correctly translated, ie, I
don't think you should touch the PO files in the SVN. If the words
were badly chosen, then some translators may have misunderstood them,
and marking the translations as fuzzy might warn them to check them
again.

Re: on usage of non-ascii symbols

Epiphany uses real ellipsis like this, and curly double quotation
marks (in opposition to the common, "vertical" one). Unicode gives us
a lot of unambiguous characters for situations like that, and many
people (ex. web standards people) think you should use them as often
as possible. I kind of agree with that, too, but as you said they are
hard to enter and most people don't like them that much. Recently I
talked to the rest of the pt_BR l10n team and we decided not to use
this "nice and hard" unicode chars.

I did that too :) You need to change to the base directory of each
module, and run:

svn switch --relocate ssh+svh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/svn/module-name/

ssh-add will be your friend :)

Maybe you have only trunk or a module (i.e., downloaded with jhbuild).
Then you should append "trunk" or "branches/(gnome-2-18|whatever)" to
the above URL. If you don't if you have trunk or branch (again. i.e.
jhbuild) you can run "svn info" in the directory.

If you're using jhbuild, you should fix your .jhbuildrc, too:
repos['svn.gnome.org'] = 'svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/svn/'

Maybe just fixing ~/.jhbuildrc and running "jhbuild update" is
enough... I don't know, but I'd give it a try.

BTW, thanks for Guilherme de S. Pastore and Lucas Rocha for teaching
me the svn swith trick when I needed it.

The messages were not exposed to translation my mistake; I actually
asked them to be included in the catalog template. Since they're
already displayed in English, their addition wouldn't harm the user
experience, only our translation statistics.

In Brazil we have something like it, but it hasn't been edited in a

In Brazil radio communications use the same words as in English
(Alpha, Bravo etc) but regular people don't know them. Common people
say "D as in Dice" (not just "Dice") and so on.

AFAIK in Italy they use city names, like "Rome" for "R" and so on.

About additional words: maybe a human+machine configuration file for
each locale, with a list of letters and how are they said.

Re: About requesting help

You'll have to deal with translators directly, unless there's any
developer available for that. We do have translation teams (roughly
one per language) with a coordinator each, and there are two
coordinators for the gnome translation project, but no coordinator per
program. Moving your program to GNOME SVN would make it much easier
for translators, because some translators have SVN accounts. I'll
forward your email to my translation team mailing list and see if
someone volunteers.

Re: integrating vertimus in damned-lies

It would be very nice if l10n.gnome.org would help us manage
designation and maybe even commits. As a non-hacker, I can just wait
you guys to do whatever you believe is better, but I can't help
remembering there are also pootle and transifex out there.

1. http://translate.sourceforge.net/
2. https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/transifex/

While vertimus is already in use by a rather successful team, both
pootle and transifex are written in python. Pootle is quite
feature-rich; IMO its worse issue is performance, but AFAIK they are
migrating statistics to a database to help with this, and they are
migrating the web part to django too. Transifex is more recent, but
AFAIK is already integrated to damned-lies.

Re: gtk+ based translation tool

I believe text editor plugins are most popular between experienced
translators. Showing the raw message catalog could be a barrier to
newbies, but I'm not sure. What I really miss in text editor plugins
are automatic fuzzy translation and terminology-based suggestions.
Maybe gedit's plugin could use omegaT

[http://translate.sourceforge.net/]?

Re: Translating docs on l10n status page

2007-07-28 Thread Leonardo Fontenelle
In the pt_BR team, we used xml2po to split the message catalog in
chapters, and later merged the partial translations. I don't believe
we could have translated it without that.

The following scripts illustrate how I managed it:

First, save this in chapter-list.txt:

==8<===
../C/user-guide.xml
../C/gosbasic.xml
../C/gosoverview.xml
../C/gosstartsession.xml
../C/gospanel.xml
../C/goseditmainmenu.xml
../C/gosnautilus.xml
../C/gostools.xml
../C/goscustdesk.xml
../C/glossary.xml
../C/gosfeedback.xml
../C/legal.xml
==8<===

Now, the scripts. They are supposed to be run inside
gnome-user-docs/gnome2-user-guide/ab_CD. They should work with other
docs (admin, a11y), but naturally the chapter-list.txt content will
vary.

==8<===
#!/bin/sh
#
# Splitting the catalog in chapters
#

svn update ..

while read chapterfile; do
  chapter=$(basename $chapterfile .xml)
  xml2po -p ${chapter}.pot $chapterfile
  msgmerge ab_CD.po ${chapter}.pot > ${chapter}.HEAD.ab_CD.po
done < chapter-list.txt

==8<===

==8<===
#!/bin/sh
#
# Joining the chapters in the catalog
#

svn update ..

cat chapter-list.txt | xargs xml2po -o user-guide.pot

for catalog in *.HEAD.ab_CD.po; do
  # First, we must delete obsolete translations. Really.
  # Else, fuzzy translations in the catalog will override the good
ones in ab_CD.po
  sed -i "/^#~/d" $catalog
  # Some messages exist in more than one chapter. You must fix any inconsistency
  # before merging the translations. Else, the last files will
override the first ones.
  msgmerge --update $catalog user-guide.pot --compendium=ab_CD.po
  mv $catalog ab_CD.po
done

==8<===

Of course, the latter script is very dangerous. This aren't exactly
the scripts I used, because part of my work was manual. Please test
them first with a copy of the translations! In real life, the chapter
translations will be delivered on at a time, so one might prefer this
script:

==8<===
#!/bin/sh
#
# Join a chapter translation to the message catalog
#
# Syntax: my-script-name chapter-name.HEAD.ab_CD.po
#

svn update ..
cat chapter-list.txt | xargs xml2po -o user-guide.pot
msgmerge --update $1 user-guide.pot --compendium=ab_CD.po
mv $1 ab_CD.po

==8<===

You might want to alter the script so that it won't delete the
original catalogs.

I hope this can help the other teams (including mine, which has two
untranslated guides left).

Re: Some questions for nice translations

2008-02-19 Thread Leonardo Fontenelle
1. There's no intuitive way, but you could look at
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gtranslator
2. Use xml2po. First of all, "xml2po --help" is one of the most
informatives help messages ever, with examples included. Second, most
of the time you'll want to "xml2po -u ab_CD.po ../C/*.xml"
3. No you can't, as far as I know, unless you write a quite clever
shell script. Each module has in fact its own SVN repository (revision
numbers are independent), so you can't commit to more than one at
once.

Right now, this is how I compare the catalog in my hard disk with the

downloaded; otherwise, the commented option would be better.

svn update ..
intltool-update pt_BR

# This would be easier, but makes it harder to understand the diff

# svn diff pt_BR.po | less -p "^\+[^#]"

Re: open-tran plugin for gedit

2008-03-04 Thread Leonardo Fontenelle
Erdal, maybe the issue is having the -dev packages installed. I can't
help you with that because I'm using Gentoo, which doesn't separate
packages between -dev or not.

As Ignacio said, it's ./autogen.sh, not configure. The configure
script is created by autogen.sh.

I said I couldn't test the plugin, but now I realized what did I do
wrong. (I should close _all_ running instances of gedit!.) Today I
tested it, and it's great!

Install the plugin, launch gedit, activate the plugin, configurate it,
open the side pane (F9) and have fun :)

By the way, pt_BR for open-tran.eu is pt_br.

You can navigate with the keyboard to the side pane pressing
(shift+)control+tab.

_If_ that's the cause, Erdal should be able to edit the autogen.sh
script, replacing /bin/sh with /bin/bash, and the script would work.
But  reading the Ubuntu documentation on the differences between bash

Oh, and I just remembered: when a script begins with #!/bin/sh, bash
does behave like ash and dash. The reason for Ubuntu adopting it is
performance and memory consumption.

What are we discussing here? A tool for GNOME, for any upstream project,
or for distributions as well? The feature set will depend on this
decision.

I already read many ideas on rewriting and extending different tools:
damned-lies, transifex, vertimus and pootle. IMVHO this should be
decided based on convenience: Which one is closer to the desired feature
set? Which one is more extensible?

Maybe another relevant question is: Which one is more actively
developed? Everyone is very busy, but the new translation
tracker/committer would need at least one lead developer.

What do you think?

I use jhbuild to fetch translation from the correct branch. That _is_
killing a fly with a bomb, but I don't have anything more efficient yet.
In the pt_BR team people with SVN access take care primarily of quality
assurance, so I have a script to help me identify the changes the
translator made, if pofilter (from translate-toolkit) finds any error,
etc. I believe you already have something like that, and that you are
more concerned with damned-lies integration, but fwiw an old version of
my script can be found here:

http://leonardof.org/2007/08/18/my-translation-better-revision-routine/en/

Even if I'll continue to use the command line, I'd like l10n.gnome.org
to handle assignments, too. Currently, we use our wiki to do that:

http://br.gnome.org/bin/view/GNOMEBR/TradutoresTrabalhando

I guess some people would like to be able to commit translation through
the interface.

Re: Improving things for translators (part 2)

2008-03-17 Thread Leonardo Fontenelle
I use jhbuild to check out all the source code (translations included)
of a release, e.g. gnome-2-22. That way I don't have the risk of
committing to trunk a translation without noticing the module branched.
It's not smart, but it make my life easier.

That's what _I_ use, not the average pt_BR l10n team member. We only
have two active translation committers, and one or another team member
helping with the reviewing. The regular team members download the PO
file from l10n.gnome.org, complete it, and attach to a bug report in
Bugzilla, to help the reviewers/committers remember to review the
translations:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?query=component%3A%22Brazilian
+Portuguese+%5Bpt_BR%5D%22+product%3Al10n

But that's past and present; with a convenient tool, some of this could
be handled differently.

Our team translated 32% of the GNOME 2.22 documenation. During the 2.22

Maybe teams with low interface translation should do that for the GUI.

l10n-status.gnome.org

2006-09-15 Thread Leonardo Fontenelle
I'm a little confuse about the statistics and the files available in
l10n-status.gnome.org. Some of our translations were commited to the
CVS, are shown in my interface (I'm already using GNOME 2.16 from
Gentoo) but don't seem to exist judging from l-g-o. I've noticed that
files /gnome-2.16/PO/PACKAGE.gnome-2-16.pt_BR.po also have a HEAD
counterpart, but both seem to lack some translation that actually is
shown in my desktop.

Example: in GNOME games, the Minesweeper game has a "_Use \"Too many
flags\" warning" message, which is untranslated in both HEAD and
gnome-2-16 files, but I can see a "_Utilizar o aviso \"Demasiadas
bandeiras\"" here.

I'm trying to review some translations (about compliance to standard
translations) but I'm afraid my diff's won't be appliable.

The following files were expected to be completely translated but
l-g-o disagrees:
- gdm2
- gnome-games
- gnome-volume-manager
- gnopernicus
- gok
- gtksourceview
- metacity

That's interesting! If some message isn't translated to pt_BR, but it
is translated in pt_PT, then the pt_PT message is displayed?

Re: Glade 3.0 stable branched

2006-10-03 Thread Leonardo Fontenelle
This means there will be two Glades 3 to translate; the glade3-3-0
branch and the HEAD branch. The former branch will have few changes,
while the second will change a lot.

IMHO, it would interesting to translate it now because most of the
branch will be reused in HEAD, so it is easier to keep both coherent
now, and latter all you have to do is update the HEAD.

Re: Sun contributed l10n documentation

2006-11-08 Thread Leonardo Fontenelle
One of Pootle's current aim is to improve support for XLIFF. Pootle is
an online translation tool; although offline (e.g. gtranslator) tools
are and will remain very important, I believe an online tool should
lower barriers to contribute and improve translation consistency.

Pootle's documentation is located in http://translate.sf.net; the
following pages cover XLIFF:
. http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/wordforge/roadmap
. http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/friedel/xliff

Debian is working with Pootle to move Debian's translation process
into Pootle. GNOME could do that too! IMHO it would be great to have a
GNOME server "à la Pootle", and an off-line translation tool
(gtranslator?) comunicating with it "à la bug-buddy". (Note: I don't
do code, I think as a software _user_).

Re: What happens to translations through Launchpad?

2006-12-03 Thread Leonardo Fontenelle
In Brazil GNOME and Ubuntu translation teams are trying to work
together, and maybe KDE and others team will come along, too. For now,
the strategy is to have Ubuntu translators helping the upstream
translators, them taking it into Rosetta and translating the
difference there. If this works, it will be great for GNOME pt_BR,
because there are much more Ubuntu pt_BR translators than GNOME ones.
Ubuntu pt_BR will get more consistent translations, and will have less
duplication of effort. The metting logs (in Portuguese) can be read in
UbuntuBrasil's wiki [1].

We are also working on a more general translation vocabulary. We have
one already, but stagnated; some people are working on a web portal
were the vocabulary can be edited dynamically, after discussion on the
proper mailing list. This effort should unify the very similar, but
not equal vocabularies used by LDP, GNOME and Ubuntu (and probably
KDE, XFCE, Mozilla and OpenOffice.org).

The pt_BR GNOME and Ubuntu teams made an agreement; basically, Ubuntu
translators would help us translating GNOME (without Rosetta) and then
would get this downstream to Rosetta. We (G+U) are probably going to
assign translators to package (every package must have some
responsibles), which is the Ubuntu-l10n-pt_BR way.

Re: Verbs form in UI actions

2006-12-17 Thread Leonardo Fontenelle
Most times we just follow original guidelines, but when it makes sense
we use our own guidelines. The GNOME HIG states that the UI actions
should be imperative (that's why they aren't "To open", neither
"Opens"), but in Portuguese we prefer infinitive.

I've thought of "File" as a verb :-o In Portuguese (both in Brazil and
in Portugal) it is translated as a noun, and I never heard anyone
complain about that.

Just for curiosity, in Brazil (AFAIK not Portugal) we do that a lot,
although less than in Sweden. We are much less formal than most
Europeans :)

Re: Hello and a a possible bug in i18n

The locale data is part of glibc. In their FAQ, they say "If the glibc
you are using comes from a complete operating system distribution, you
should report bugs to that distribution project first." However, there
is already a report in glibc's bugzilla similar to yours:
http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2692 . You could
post a comment there, saying the same applies to Spain.
