The Tor Translation Portal -handles all of the translations for Vidalia, Torbutton and TorCheck. The Tor -website itself is currently handled by hand translations using subversion. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -For the Tor website, you'll need a Tor SVN account. -If you do not have one and you need one, please run this command with your -desired username in place of 'USERNAME': - htdigest -c passwd.tmp "Tor subversion repository" USERNAME -and send us the contents of passwd.tmp. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -For the Portal-based projects, all three check in their respective .po -files into the following subversion urls: - - https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/translation/trunk/projects/torbutton - https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/translation/trunk/projects/torcheck - https://svn.vidalia-project.net/svn/vidalia/trunk/src/vidalia/i18n/ - -The current pootle configuration is checked into subversion as well: - - https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/translation/trunk/pootle - ----------------------------- TorCheck ------------------------------- - -TorCheck uses our translation portal to accept translations. Users use -the portal to check in their changes. To make use of the translations -that users have committed to the translations/ subversion module, you'll -need to ensure that you have a current checked out copy of TorCheck: - - cd check/trunk/i18n/ - check/trunk/i18n$ svn up - -You should see something like the following: - - Fetching external item into 'pootle' - External at revision 15300. - - At revision 15300. - -Now if you had changes, you'd simply want to move the newly updated .po files -into the current stable directory. Moving the .po files from -'check/trunk/i18n/pootle/' into 'check/trunk/i18n' properly naming the files -for their respective locale. - -Here's an example of how to move all of the current pootle translations into -the svn trunk area of TorCheck: - - cd check/trunk/i18n/ - for locale in `ls -1 pootle/|grep -v template`; - do - mv -v pootle/$locale/TorCheck_$locale.po TorCheck_$locale.po; - done - -Now check the differences (ensure the output looks reasonable): - - svn diff - -Ensure that msgfmt has no errors: - - msgfmt -C *.po - -And finally check in the changes: - - svn commit - ----------------------------- Torbutton ------------------------------- - -Torbutton uses our translation portal to accept translations. Users use -the portal to check in their changes. - -To make use of the translations that users have committed to the translations/ -subversion module, you'll need to ensure that you have a current checked out -copy of them in your torbutton git checkout: - - cd torbutton.git/trans_tools - torbutton.git/trans_tools$ svn co https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/translation/trunk/projects/torbutton pootle - -You should see something like the following: - - Checked out revision 21092. - -If you made changes to strings in Torbutton, you need to rebuild the -templates in torbutton.git/trans_tools/pootle/templates. This is done with -the following command from within the torbutton.git checkout directory: - - moz2po -P -i src/chrome/locale/en/ -o trans_tools/pootle/templates/ - -You now have two options: - -Option 1 (The [shitty] Pootle Web UI Way): - -View then commit the changes to the template with: - - cd trans_tools/pootle - svn diff templates - svn commit templates - -Then poke Jake to 'svn up' on the Pootle side. If you do this enough -times, he may give you a button to click to update templates in Pootle, -or maybe even an account on the Pootle server. Persistence is a virtue. - -You then need to go to the Pootle website and click the checkbox next to -every language on: -https://translation.torproject.org/projects/torbutton/admin.html -and then click "Update Languages" at the bottom. - -You then need to go to each language and go to "Editing Options" and click -"Commit" for each one. - -You then need to 'svn up' locally, and follow the procedure above for -rebuilding your .dtd and .properties files. - -Yes, this sucks. :/ - -Option 2 (Use your own msgmerge: YMMV, may change .po flags and formatting): - -Run msgmerge yourself for each language: - - cd trans_tools - for i in `ls -1 pootle` - do - msgmerge -U ./pootle/$i/torbutton.dtd.po ./pootle/templates/torbutton.dtd.pot - msgmerge -U ./pootle/$i/torbutton.properties.po ./pootle/templates/torbutton.properties.pot - done - svn diff pootle - svn commit pootle - -Then poke Jake to 'svn up' on the Pootle side. If you do this enough times, -he may give you a button on Pootle, or maybe even an account on the Pootle -server. Persistence is a virtue. - -You may notice that some .po file flags and string formatting have changed -with this method, depending on your gettext version. It is unclear if this -is a problem. Please update this doc if you hit a landmine and everything -breaks :) - -After this process is done, you then need to regenerate the mozilla -.dtd and .properties files as specified above. - - -Regardless of whether or not you had changes in the torbutton strings, if there -were updated strings in pootle that you checked out from svn you now need to -convert from .po and move the newly updated mozilla files into the current -stable locale directory. First convert them with the 'mkmoz.sh' script and -then move the proper mozilla files from 'torbutton.git/trans_tools/moz/' into -'torbutton.git/src/chrome/locale/' directory while properly naming the files -for their respective locale. - -Here's an example of how to move all of the current pootle translations into -the svn trunk area of Torbutton: - - cd trans_tools - ./mkmoz.sh - for locale in `ls -1 moz/`; - do - mv -v moz/$locale/*.{dtd,properties} ../src/chrome/locale/$locale/ - done - -Now check the differences to your git branch to ensure the output looks -reasonable: - - cd .. - git diff - -And finally check in the changes: - - cd src/chrome/locale - git commit . - ----------------------------- Vidalia ------------------------------- - -Vidalia uses our translation portal to accept translations. Users use the -portal to check in their changes. No conversion or moving is required other -than normal pootle usage. - |
