1 1 Notes on the Free Translation Project
2 ***************************************
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.
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.
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.
21 1.1 Quick configuration advice
22 ==============================
24 [obsolete]
26 1.2 INSTALL Matters
27 ===================
29 Some packages are "localizable" when properly installed; the programs
30 they contain can be made to speak your own native language. Most such
31 packages use GNU `gettext'. Other packages have their own ways to
32 internationalization, predating GNU `gettext'.
34 By default, this package will be installed to allow translation of
35 messages. It will automatically detect whether the system already
36 provides the GNU `gettext' functions. If not, the package will not
37 be translated.
38 Installers may use special options at configuration time for changing
39 the default behaviour. The command:
41 ./configure --disable-nls
43 will, _totally_ disable translation of messages.
45 Internationalized packages usually have many `po/LL.po' files, where
46 LL gives an ISO 639 two-letter code identifying the language. Unless
47 translations have been forbidden at `configure' time by using the
48 `--disable-nls' switch, all available translations are installed
49 together with the package. However, the environment variable `LINGUAS'
50 may be set, prior to configuration, to limit the installed set.
51 `LINGUAS' should then contain a space separated list of two-letter
52 codes, stating which languages are allowed.
54 1.3 Using This Package
55 ======================
57 As a user, if your language has been installed for this package, you
58 only have to set the `LANG' environment variable to the appropriate
59 `LL_CC' combination. Here `LL' is an ISO 639 two-letter language code,
60 and `CC' is an ISO 3166 two-letter country code. For example, let's
61 suppose that you speak German and live in Germany. At the shell
62 prompt, merely execute `setenv LANG de_DE' (in `csh'),
63 `export LANG; LANG=de_DE' (in `sh') or `export LANG=de_DE' (in `bash').
64 This can be done from your `.login' or `.profile' file, once and for
65 all.
67 You might think that the country code specification is redundant.
68 But in fact, some languages have dialects in different countries. For
69 example, `de_AT' is used for Austria, and `pt_BR' for Brazil. The
70 country code serves to distinguish the dialects.
72 The locale naming convention of `LL_CC', with `LL' denoting the
73 language and `CC' denoting the country, is the one use on systems based
74 on GNU libc. On other systems, some variations of this scheme are
75 used, such as `LL' or `LL_CC.ENCODING'. You can get the list of
76 locales supported by your system for your country by running the command
77 `locale -a | grep '^LL''.
79 Not all programs have translations for all languages. By default, an
80 English message is shown in place of a nonexistent translation. If you
81 understand other languages, you can set up a priority list of languages.
82 This is done through a different environment variable, called
83 `LANGUAGE'. GNU `gettext' gives preference to `LANGUAGE' over `LANG'
84 for the purpose of message handling, but you still need to have `LANG'
85 set to the primary language; this is required by other parts of the
86 system libraries. For example, some Swedish users who would rather
87 read translations in German than English for when Swedish is not
88 available, set `LANGUAGE' to `sv:de' while leaving `LANG' to `sv_SE'.
90 Special advice for Norwegian users: The language code for Norwegian
91 bokma*l changed from `no' to `nb' recently (in 2003). During the
92 transition period, while some message catalogs for this language are
93 installed under `nb' and some older ones under `no', it's recommended
94 for Norwegian users to set `LANGUAGE' to `nb:no' so that both newer and
95 older translations are used.
97 In the `LANGUAGE' environment variable, but not in the `LANG'
98 environment variable, `LL_CC' combinations can be abbreviated as `LL'
99 to denote the language's main dialect. For example, `de' is equivalent
100 to `de_DE' (German as spoken in Germany), and `pt' to `pt_PT'
101 (Portuguese as spoken in Portugal) in this context.
103 1.4 Translating Teams
104 =====================
106 For the Free Translation Project to be a success, we need interested
107 people who like their own language and write it well, and who are also
108 able to synergize with other translators speaking the same language.
109 Each translation team has its own mailing list. The up-to-date list of
110 teams can be found at the Free Translation Project's homepage,
111 `http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/', in the "National teams"
112 area.
114 If you'd like to volunteer to _work_ at translating messages, you
115 should become a member of the translating team for your own language.
116 The subscribing address is _not_ the same as the list itself, it has
117 `-request' appended. For example, speakers of Swedish can send a
118 message to `sv-request@li.org', having this message body:
120 subscribe
122 Keep in mind that team members are expected to participate
123 _actively_ in translations, or at solving translational difficulties,
124 rather than merely lurking around. If your team does not exist yet and
125 you want to start one, or if you are unsure about what to do or how to
126 get started, please write to `translation@iro.umontreal.ca' to reach the
127 coordinator for all translator teams.
129 The English team is special. It works at improving and uniformizing
130 the terminology in use. Proven linguistic skill are praised more than
131 programming skill, here.
133 1.5 Available Packages
134 ======================
136 Languages are not equally supported in all packages. The following
137 matrix shows the current state of internationalization, as of June
138 2006. The matrix shows, in regard of each package, for which languages
139 PO files have been submitted to translation coordination, with a
140 translation percentage of at least 50%.

1032 Some counters in the preceding matrix are higher than the number of
1033 visible blocks let us expect. This is because a few extra PO files are
1034 used for implementing regional variants of languages, or language
1035 dialects.
1037 For a PO file in the matrix above to be effective, the package to
1038 which it applies should also have been internationalized and
1039 distributed as such by its maintainer. There might be an observable
1040 lag between the mere existence a PO file and its wide availability in a
1041 distribution.
1043 If June 2006 seems to be old, you may fetch a more recent copy of
1044 this `ABOUT-NLS' file on most GNU archive sites. The most up-to-date
1045 matrix with full percentage details can be found at
1046 `http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/matrix.html'.
1048 1.6 Using `gettext' in new packages
1049 ===================================
1051 If you are writing a freely available program and want to
1052 internationalize it you are welcome to use GNU `gettext' in your
1053 package. Of course you have to respect the GNU Library General Public
1054 License which covers the use of the GNU `gettext' library. This means
1055 in particular that even non-free programs can use `libintl' as a shared
1056 library, whereas only free software can use `libintl' as a static
1057 library or use modified versions of `libintl'.
1059 Once the sources are changed appropriately and the setup can handle
1060 the use of `gettext' the only thing missing are the translations. The
1061 Free Translation Project is also available for packages which are not
1062 developed inside the GNU project. Therefore the information given above
1063 applies also for every other Free Software Project. Contact
1064 `translation@iro.umontreal.ca' to make the `.pot' files available to
1065 the translation teams.
