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 INSTALL Matters
22 ===================
24 Some packages are "localizable" when properly installed; the programs
25 they contain can be made to speak your own native language. Most such
26 packages use GNU `gettext'. Other packages have their own ways to
27 internationalization, predating GNU `gettext'.
29 By default, this package will be installed to allow translation of
30 messages. It will automatically detect whether the system already
31 provides the GNU `gettext' functions. Installers may use special
32 options at configuration time for changing the default behaviour. The
33 command:
35 ./configure --disable-nls
37 will _totally_ disable translation of messages.
39 When you already have GNU `gettext' installed on your system and run
40 configure without an option for your new package, `configure' will
41 probably detect the previously built and installed `libintl' library
42 and will decide to use it. If not, you may have to to use the
43 `--with-libintl-prefix' option to tell `configure' where to look for it.
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 1.2 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. If you happen to have the `LC_ALL' or some other
60 `LC_xxx' environment variables set, you should unset them before
61 setting `LANG', otherwise the setting of `LANG' will not have the
62 desired effect. Here `LL' is an ISO 639 two-letter language code, and
63 `CC' is an ISO 3166 two-letter country code. For example, let's
64 suppose that you speak German and live in Germany. At the shell
65 prompt, merely execute `setenv LANG de_DE' (in `csh'),
66 `export LANG; LANG=de_DE' (in `sh') or `export LANG=de_DE' (in `bash').
67 This can be done from your `.login' or `.profile' file, once and for
68 all.
70 You might think that the country code specification is redundant.
71 But in fact, some languages have dialects in different countries. For
72 example, `de_AT' is used for Austria, and `pt_BR' for Brazil. The
73 country code serves to distinguish the dialects.
75 The locale naming convention of `LL_CC', with `LL' denoting the
76 language and `CC' denoting the country, is the one use on systems based
77 on GNU libc. On other systems, some variations of this scheme are
78 used, such as `LL' or `LL_CC.ENCODING'. You can get the list of
79 locales supported by your system for your language by running the
80 command `locale -a | grep '^LL''.
82 Not all programs have translations for all languages. By default, an
83 English message is shown in place of a nonexistent translation. If you
84 understand other languages, you can set up a priority list of languages.
85 This is done through a different environment variable, called
86 `LANGUAGE'. GNU `gettext' gives preference to `LANGUAGE' over `LANG'
87 for the purpose of message handling, but you still need to have `LANG'
88 set to the primary language; this is required by other parts of the
89 system libraries. For example, some Swedish users who would rather
90 read translations in German than English for when Swedish is not
91 available, set `LANGUAGE' to `sv:de' while leaving `LANG' to `sv_SE'.
93 Special advice for Norwegian users: The language code for Norwegian
94 bokma*l changed from `no' to `nb' recently (in 2003). During the
95 transition period, while some message catalogs for this language are
96 installed under `nb' and some older ones under `no', it's recommended
97 for Norwegian users to set `LANGUAGE' to `nb:no' so that both newer and
98 older translations are used.
100 In the `LANGUAGE' environment variable, but not in the `LANG'
101 environment variable, `LL_CC' combinations can be abbreviated as `LL'
102 to denote the language's main dialect. For example, `de' is equivalent
103 to `de_DE' (German as spoken in Germany), and `pt' to `pt_PT'
104 (Portuguese as spoken in Portugal) in this context.
106 1.3 Translating Teams
107 =====================
109 For the Free Translation Project to be a success, we need interested
110 people who like their own language and write it well, and who are also
111 able to synergize with other translators speaking the same language.
112 Each translation team has its own mailing list. The up-to-date list of
113 teams can be found at the Free Translation Project's homepage,
114 `http://translationproject.org/', in the "Teams" area.
116 If you'd like to volunteer to _work_ at translating messages, you
117 should become a member of the translating team for your own language.
118 The subscribing address is _not_ the same as the list itself, it has
119 `-request' appended. For example, speakers of Swedish can send a
120 message to `sv-request@li.org', having this message body:
122 subscribe
124 Keep in mind that team members are expected to participate
125 _actively_ in translations, or at solving translational difficulties,
126 rather than merely lurking around. If your team does not exist yet and
127 you want to start one, or if you are unsure about what to do or how to
128 get started, please write to `coordinator@translationproject.org' to
129 reach the coordinator for all translator teams.
131 The English team is special. It works at improving and uniformizing
132 the terminology in use. Proven linguistic skills are praised more than
133 programming skills, here.
135 1.4 Available Packages
136 ======================
138 Languages are not equally supported in all packages. The following
139 matrix shows the current state of internationalization, as of June
140 2010. The matrix shows, in regard of each package, for which languages
141 PO files have been submitted to translation coordination, with a
142 translation percentage of at least 50%.

1248 Some counters in the preceding matrix are higher than the number of
1249 visible blocks let us expect. This is because a few extra PO files are
1250 used for implementing regional variants of languages, or language
1251 dialects.
1253 For a PO file in the matrix above to be effective, the package to
1254 which it applies should also have been internationalized and
1255 distributed as such by its maintainer. There might be an observable
1256 lag between the mere existence a PO file and its wide availability in a
1257 distribution.
1259 If June 2010 seems to be old, you may fetch a more recent copy of
1260 this `ABOUT-NLS' file on most GNU archive sites. The most up-to-date
1261 matrix with full percentage details can be found at
1262 `http://translationproject.org/extra/matrix.html'.
1264 1.5 Using `gettext' in new packages
1265 ===================================
1267 If you are writing a freely available program and want to
1268 internationalize it you are welcome to use GNU `gettext' in your
1269 package. Of course you have to respect the GNU Library General Public
1270 License which covers the use of the GNU `gettext' library. This means
1271 in particular that even non-free programs can use `libintl' as a shared
1272 library, whereas only free software can use `libintl' as a static
1273 library or use modified versions of `libintl'.
1275 Once the sources are changed appropriately and the setup can handle
1276 the use of `gettext' the only thing missing are the translations. The
1277 Free Translation Project is also available for packages which are not
1278 developed inside the GNU project. Therefore the information given above
1279 applies also for every other Free Software Project. Contact
1280 `coordinator@translationproject.org' to make the `.pot' files available
1281 to the translation teams.
