1 Notes about NLS and Freeciv
2 ***************************
4 Below is ABOUT-NLS file from upstream gettext -package.
5 Freeciv usage of gettext differs a bit from what it says.
7 - There is no --with-included-gettext configure option
8 - Translations are not in directory called 'po', but in 'translations'

13 1 Notes on the Free Translation Project
14 ***************************************
16 Free software is going international!  The Free Translation Project is
17 a way to get maintainers of free software, translators, and users all
18 together, so that free software will gradually become able to speak many
19 languages.  A few packages already provide translations for their
20 messages.
22    If you found this `ABOUT-NLS' file inside a distribution, you may
23 assume that the distributed package does use GNU `gettext' internally,
24 itself available at your nearest GNU archive site.  But you do _not_
25 need to install GNU `gettext' prior to configuring, installing or using
26 this package with messages translated.
28    Installers will find here some useful hints.  These notes also
29 explain how users should proceed for getting the programs to use the
30 available translations.  They tell how people wanting to contribute and
31 work on translations can contact the appropriate team.
33    When reporting bugs in the `intl/' directory or bugs which may be
34 related to internationalization, you should tell about the version of
35 `gettext' which is used.  The information can be found in the
36 `intl/VERSION' file, in internationalized packages.
38 1.1 Quick configuration advice
39 ==============================
41 If you want to exploit the full power of internationalization, you
42 should configure it using
44      ./configure --with-included-gettext
46 to force usage of internationalizing routines provided within this
47 package, despite the existence of internationalizing capabilities in the
48 operating system where this package is being installed.  So far, only
49 the `gettext' implementation in the GNU C library version 2 provides as
50 many features (such as locale alias, message inheritance, automatic
51 charset conversion or plural form handling) as the implementation here.
52 It is also not possible to offer this additional functionality on top
53 of a `catgets' implementation.  Future versions of GNU `gettext' will
54 very likely convey even more functionality.  So it might be a good idea
55 to change to GNU `gettext' as soon as possible.
57    So you need _not_ provide this option if you are using GNU libc 2 or
58 you have installed a recent copy of the GNU gettext package with the
59 included `libintl'.
61 1.2 INSTALL Matters
62 ===================
64 Some packages are "localizable" when properly installed; the programs
65 they contain can be made to speak your own native language.  Most such
66 packages use GNU `gettext'.  Other packages have their own ways to
67 internationalization, predating GNU `gettext'.
69    By default, this package will be installed to allow translation of
70 messages.  It will automatically detect whether the system already
71 provides the GNU `gettext' functions.  If not, the included GNU
72 `gettext' library will be used.  This library is wholly contained
73 within this package, usually in the `intl/' subdirectory, so prior
74 installation of the GNU `gettext' package is _not_ required.
75 Installers may use special options at configuration time for changing
76 the default behaviour.  The commands:
78      ./configure --with-included-gettext
79      ./configure --disable-nls
81 will, respectively, bypass any pre-existing `gettext' to use the
82 internationalizing routines provided within this package, or else,
83 _totally_ disable translation of messages.
85    When you already have GNU `gettext' installed on your system and run
86 configure without an option for your new package, `configure' will
87 probably detect the previously built and installed `libintl.a' file and
88 will decide to use this.  This might not be desirable.  You should use
89 the more recent version of the GNU `gettext' library.  I.e. if the file
90 `intl/VERSION' shows that the library which comes with this package is
91 more recent, you should use
93      ./configure --with-included-gettext
95 to prevent auto-detection.
97    The configuration process will not test for the `catgets' function
98 and therefore it will not be used.  The reason is that even an
99 emulation of `gettext' on top of `catgets' could not provide all the
100 extensions of the GNU `gettext' library.
102    Internationalized packages usually have many `po/LL.po' files, where
103 LL gives an ISO 639 two-letter code identifying the language.  Unless
104 translations have been forbidden at `configure' time by using the
105 `--disable-nls' switch, all available translations are installed
106 together with the package.  However, the environment variable `LINGUAS'
107 may be set, prior to configuration, to limit the installed set.
108 `LINGUAS' should then contain a space separated list of two-letter
109 codes, stating which languages are allowed.
111 1.3 Using This Package
112 ======================
114 As a user, if your language has been installed for this package, you
115 only have to set the `LANG' environment variable to the appropriate
116 `LL_CC' combination.  Here `LL' is an ISO 639 two-letter language code,
117 and `CC' is an ISO 3166 two-letter country code.  For example, let's
118 suppose that you speak German and live in Germany.  At the shell
119 prompt, merely execute `setenv LANG de_DE' (in `csh'),
120 `export LANG; LANG=de_DE' (in `sh') or `export LANG=de_DE' (in `bash').
121 This can be done from your `.login' or `.profile' file, once and for
122 all.
124    You might think that the country code specification is redundant.
125 But in fact, some languages have dialects in different countries.  For
126 example, `de_AT' is used for Austria, and `pt_BR' for Brazil.  The
127 country code serves to distinguish the dialects.
129    The locale naming convention of `LL_CC', with `LL' denoting the
130 language and `CC' denoting the country, is the one use on systems based
131 on GNU libc.  On other systems, some variations of this scheme are
132 used, such as `LL' or `LL_CC.ENCODING'.  You can get the list of
133 locales supported by your system for your language by running the
134 command `locale -a | grep '^LL''.
136    Not all programs have translations for all languages.  By default, an
137 English message is shown in place of a nonexistent translation.  If you
138 understand other languages, you can set up a priority list of languages.
139 This is done through a different environment variable, called
140 `LANGUAGE'.  GNU `gettext' gives preference to `LANGUAGE' over `LANG'
141 for the purpose of message handling, but you still need to have `LANG'
142 set to the primary language; this is required by other parts of the
143 system libraries.  For example, some Swedish users who would rather
144 read translations in German than English for when Swedish is not
145 available, set `LANGUAGE' to `sv:de' while leaving `LANG' to `sv_SE'.
147    Special advice for Norwegian users: The language code for Norwegian
148 bokma*l changed from `no' to `nb' recently (in 2003).  During the
149 transition period, while some message catalogs for this language are
150 installed under `nb' and some older ones under `no', it's recommended
151 for Norwegian users to set `LANGUAGE' to `nb:no' so that both newer and
152 older translations are used.
154    In the `LANGUAGE' environment variable, but not in the `LANG'
155 environment variable, `LL_CC' combinations can be abbreviated as `LL'
156 to denote the language's main dialect.  For example, `de' is equivalent
157 to `de_DE' (German as spoken in Germany), and `pt' to `pt_PT'
158 (Portuguese as spoken in Portugal) in this context.
160 1.4 Translating Teams
161 =====================
163 For the Free Translation Project to be a success, we need interested
164 people who like their own language and write it well, and who are also
165 able to synergize with other translators speaking the same language.
166 Each translation team has its own mailing list.  The up-to-date list of
167 teams can be found at the Free Translation Project's homepage,
168 `http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/', in the "National teams"
169 area.
171    If you'd like to volunteer to _work_ at translating messages, you
172 should become a member of the translating team for your own language.
173 The subscribing address is _not_ the same as the list itself, it has
174 `-request' appended.  For example, speakers of Swedish can send a
175 message to `sv-request@li.org', having this message body:
177      subscribe
179    Keep in mind that team members are expected to participate
180 _actively_ in translations, or at solving translational difficulties,
181 rather than merely lurking around.  If your team does not exist yet and
182 you want to start one, or if you are unsure about what to do or how to
183 get started, please write to `translation@iro.umontreal.ca' to reach the
184 coordinator for all translator teams.
186    The English team is special.  It works at improving and uniformizing
187 the terminology in use.  Proven linguistic skills are praised more than
188 programming skills, here.
190 1.5 Available Packages
191 ======================
193 Languages are not equally supported in all packages.  The following
194 matrix shows the current state of internationalization, as of October
195 2006.  The matrix shows, in regard of each package, for which languages
196 PO files have been submitted to translation coordination, with a
197 translation percentage of at least 50%.

1079    Some counters in the preceding matrix are higher than the number of
1080 visible blocks let us expect.  This is because a few extra PO files are
1081 used for implementing regional variants of languages, or language
1082 dialects.
1084    For a PO file in the matrix above to be effective, the package to
1085 which it applies should also have been internationalized and
1086 distributed as such by its maintainer.  There might be an observable
1087 lag between the mere existence a PO file and its wide availability in a
1088 distribution.
1090    If October 2006 seems to be old, you may fetch a more recent copy of
1091 this `ABOUT-NLS' file on most GNU archive sites.  The most up-to-date
1092 matrix with full percentage details can be found at
1093 `http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/matrix.html'.
1095 1.6 Using `gettext' in new packages
1096 ===================================
1098 If you are writing a freely available program and want to
1099 internationalize it you are welcome to use GNU `gettext' in your
1100 package.  Of course you have to respect the GNU Library General Public
1101 License which covers the use of the GNU `gettext' library.  This means
1102 in particular that even non-free programs can use `libintl' as a shared
1103 library, whereas only free software can use `libintl' as a static
1104 library or use modified versions of `libintl'.
1106    Once the sources are changed appropriately and the setup can handle
1107 the use of `gettext' the only thing missing are the translations.  The
1108 Free Translation Project is also available for packages which are not
1109 developed inside the GNU project.  Therefore the information given above
1110 applies also for every other Free Software Project.  Contact
1111 `translation@iro.umontreal.ca' to make the `.pot' files available to
1112 the translation teams.
