This page describes how to translate documentation for the OSGeo-Live DVD.

Getting Started

Thanks for considering translating the OSGeo-Live documentation. To get started:

Introduce yourself.: Please join our email list at: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo, and send an email introducing yourself and your wish to help out. If you wish to start translating to a new language, let us know so that we can create a new status worksheet for you.

We moved from svn to git. So please read about the next steps here:

Live_GIS_Disc#Git_migration

Credit yourself: As a first test to see subversion is working, add your name to the list of translators.

Status Sheet

Documents ready to translate are marked "Final" in our Project Status Spreadsheet.
Check the Translation Status to find files that need translation, or need updating. Note that the hyperlink for each translated doc will take you to a page showing the differences in the English doc since last translation. (This document is updated hourly by extracting document version from subversion).

Nightly documentation builds

http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/
- Latest documentation build can be found in the docs/ dir.
- Please have a look at and squash any problems which show up in the error log, which can be found in the logs/ dir.

Translations

This is how it works:

Find documents that have a "Final" status in our Project Status sheet and which are not translated or outdated in the Translation Status.
If this is a new translated document, use subversion to copy the English version of the document to new language directory. (This retains our subversion history, while svn add does not)

svn copy doc/en/<doc>.rst doc/lang/<doc>.rst (old version with svn)
cp en/<doc>.rst doc/lang/<doc>.rst

add your name as translator of the document: add :Translator: Your_name at the top of document near :Reviewer: or Author
translate the document and then commit back to subversion

git add docX.rst
git commit -m "Translated docX.rst to Italian" docX.rst
git push origin master

Once complete change status="complete"

Adding new languages

Make sure you edit the list in:

doc/Makefile
doc/themes/overview/page.html
doc/index.template
bin/lang_stats.sh

Setup the dir structure:

LCODE=pt

cd doc/
mkdir $LCODE
cd $LCODE
mkdir overview/ quickstart/ standards/
cd ..
git add $LCODE
git commit -m 'new directory' $LCODE
git push origin master

Remember that when `doc/Makefile` changes the hash needs to be updated; contact Hamish.

Glossary

At this page you can find a glossary of OSGeo-Live documentation related terms, please fell free to add new terms.

Use OmegaT for the translations

there is a nice tool to generate the translations http://www.omegat.org/ (here you find a good documentation)
To install the tool on a Ubuntu or Debian system (such as the live disc) run:

sudo apt-get install omegat

add the ending rst to be supported by OmegaT
- configure: Options → file filter → textfiles → add → add *.rst

Create a new project:
- Select a folder where OmegaT can write its files
- Select your destination language, point Source Files directory to doc/en, and Translated Files directory to doc/$your-language-code. The two middle options can stay where they are in subfolders of OmegaT project folder.
- Translate something.
- Write files: Project → Create Translated Documents will populate doc/$your-language into git tree. All .rst files contain both translated and untranslated strings.
- git commit
- git push origin master

Work on an already started translation:
- TO BE DONE - is OmegaT able to handle contents under version control? Seems not, for me.

Move to Transifex

There is the plan to move the translation to Transifex. The documentation/discussion can be found here: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Talk:Live_GIS_Translate

 Thanks for considering translating the OSGeo-Live documentation. To get started:
 ; Introduce yourself.
 : Please join our email list at: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo, and send an email introducing yourself and your wish to help out. If you wish to start translating to a new language, let us know so that we can create a new status worksheet for you.
-: Say "hello" to other translators from your region. There details are listed here: https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/doc/translators.csv
-; Get Subversion access
+We moved from svn to git. So please read about the next steps here:
-: Before updating files, you need commit access to our Subversion repository, described here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Subversion
+* [[Live_GIS_Disc#Git_migration]]
-; check out the doc-directory from svn:
- svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/doc/
- svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/promo/en/presentations/OSGeoLive4_0Taster
 ; Credit yourself

-It contains some excel wizardry to check reported status of English docs, and entered document versions to report on status of translations. This is where you should look to determine which file you should translate next, and also which you should update after translating a document.
-Note colour coding:

(This document is updated hourly by extracting document version from subversion).
-* Blue text = cell to be updated by us users
-* Green background = doc is complete
-* Yellow background = translation is out of date (there is a newer English version)
-===Update status sheet version numbers===
-To update the version numbers of documents, someone should follow the following process:
- svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/extract_doc_versions.sh
- bin/extract_doc_versions.sh > list.csv
- ooffice list.csv
-Cut and paste the contents into the second row of the worksheet "svnlist" in https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AlRFyY1XenjJdFRDbjFyWHg1MlNTRm10QXk0UWEzWlE&hl=en_GB&authkey=CPTB6uIE#gid=7
