The Free Translation Project is a +way to get maintainers of free software, translators, and users all +together, so that free software will gradually become able to speak many +languages. A few packages already provide translations for their +messages. + + If you found this 'ABOUT-NLS' file inside a distribution, you may +assume that the distributed package does use GNU 'gettext' internally, +itself available at your nearest GNU archive site. But you do _not_ +need to install GNU 'gettext' prior to configuring, installing or using +this package with messages translated. + + Installers will find here some useful hints. These notes also +explain how users should proceed for getting the programs to use the +available translations. They tell how people wanting to contribute and +work on translations can contact the appropriate team. + +1.1 INSTALL Matters +=================== + +Some packages are "localizable" when properly installed; the programs +they contain can be made to speak your own native language. Most such +packages use GNU 'gettext'. Other packages have their own ways to +internationalization, predating GNU 'gettext'. + + By default, this package will be installed to allow translation of +messages. It will automatically detect whether the system already +provides the GNU 'gettext' functions. Installers may use special +options at configuration time for changing the default behaviour. The +command: + + ./configure --disable-nls + +will _totally_ disable translation of messages. + + When you already have GNU 'gettext' installed on your system and run +configure without an option for your new package, 'configure' will +probably detect the previously built and installed 'libintl' library and +will decide to use it. If not, you may have to to use the +'--with-libintl-prefix' option to tell 'configure' where to look for it. + + Internationalized packages usually have many 'po/LL.po' files, where +LL gives an ISO 639 two-letter code identifying the language. Unless +translations have been forbidden at 'configure' time by using the +'--disable-nls' switch, all available translations are installed +together with the package. However, the environment variable 'LINGUAS' +may be set, prior to configuration, to limit the installed set. +'LINGUAS' should then contain a space separated list of two-letter +codes, stating which languages are allowed. + +1.2 Using This Package +====================== + +As a user, if your language has been installed for this package, you +only have to set the 'LANG' environment variable to the appropriate +'LL_CC' combination. If you happen to have the 'LC_ALL' or some other +'LC_xxx' environment variables set, you should unset them before setting +'LANG', otherwise the setting of 'LANG' will not have the desired +effect. Here 'LL' is an ISO 639 two-letter language code, and 'CC' is +an ISO 3166 two-letter country code. For example, let's suppose that +you speak German and live in Germany. At the shell prompt, merely +execute 'setenv LANG de_DE' (in 'csh'), 'export LANG; LANG=de_DE' (in +'sh') or 'export LANG=de_DE' (in 'bash'). This can be done from your +'.login' or '.profile' file, once and for all. + + You might think that the country code specification is redundant. +But in fact, some languages have dialects in different countries. For +example, 'de_AT' is used for Austria, and 'pt_BR' for Brazil. The +country code serves to distinguish the dialects. + + The locale naming convention of 'LL_CC', with 'LL' denoting the +language and 'CC' denoting the country, is the one use on systems based +on GNU libc. On other systems, some variations of this scheme are used, +such as 'LL' or 'LL_CC.ENCODING'. You can get the list of locales +supported by your system for your language by running the command +'locale -a | grep '^LL''. + + Not all programs have translations for all languages. By default, an +English message is shown in place of a nonexistent translation. If you +understand other languages, you can set up a priority list of languages. +This is done through a different environment variable, called +'LANGUAGE'. GNU 'gettext' gives preference to 'LANGUAGE' over 'LANG' +for the purpose of message handling, but you still need to have 'LANG' +set to the primary language; this is required by other parts of the +system libraries. For example, some Swedish users who would rather read +translations in German than English for when Swedish is not available, +set 'LANGUAGE' to 'sv:de' while leaving 'LANG' to 'sv_SE'. + + Special advice for Norwegian users: The language code for Norwegian +bokma*l changed from 'no' to 'nb' recently (in 2003). During the +transition period, while some message catalogs for this language are +installed under 'nb' and some older ones under 'no', it's recommended +for Norwegian users to set 'LANGUAGE' to 'nb:no' so that both newer and +older translations are used. + + In the 'LANGUAGE' environment variable, but not in the 'LANG' +environment variable, 'LL_CC' combinations can be abbreviated as 'LL' to +denote the language's main dialect. For example, 'de' is equivalent to +'de_DE' (German as spoken in Germany), and 'pt' to 'pt_PT' (Portuguese +as spoken in Portugal) in this context. + +1.3 Translating Teams +===================== + +For the Free Translation Project to be a success, we need interested +people who like their own language and write it well, and who are also +able to synergize with other translators speaking the same language. +Each translation team has its own mailing list. The up-to-date list of +teams can be found at the Free Translation Project's homepage, +'http://translationproject.org/', in the "Teams" area. + + If you'd like to volunteer to _work_ at translating messages, you +should become a member of the translating team for your own language. +The subscribing address is _not_ the same as the list itself, it has +'-request' appended. For example, speakers of Swedish can send a +message to 'sv-request@li.org', having this message body: + + subscribe + + Keep in mind that team members are expected to participate _actively_ +in translations, or at solving translational difficulties, rather than +merely lurking around. If your team does not exist yet and you want to +start one, or if you are unsure about what to do or how to get started, +please write to 'coordinator@translationproject.org' to reach the +coordinator for all translator teams. + + The English team is special. It works at improving and uniformizing +the terminology in use. Proven linguistic skills are praised more than +programming skills, here. + +1.4 Available Packages +====================== + +Languages are not equally supported in all packages. The following +matrix shows the current state of internationalization, as of Jun 2014. +The matrix shows, in regard of each package, for which languages PO +files have been submitted to translation coordination, with a +translation percentage of at least 50%. + + Ready PO files af am an ar as ast az be bg bn bn_IN bs ca crh cs + +---------------------------------------------------+ + a2ps | []

domains 42 2748 + + Some counters in the preceding matrix are higher than the number of +visible blocks let us expect. This is because a few extra PO files are +used for implementing regional variants of languages, or language +dialects. + + For a PO file in the matrix above to be effective, the package to +which it applies should also have been internationalized and distributed +as such by its maintainer. There might be an observable lag between the +mere existence a PO file and its wide availability in a distribution. + + If Jun 2014 seems to be old, you may fetch a more recent copy of this +'ABOUT-NLS' file on most GNU archive sites.

Of course you have to respect the GNU Lesser General Public +License which covers the use of the GNU 'gettext' library. This means +in particular that even non-free programs can use 'libintl' as a shared +library, whereas only free software can use 'libintl' as a static +library or use modified versions of 'libintl'. + + Once the sources are changed appropriately and the setup can handle +the use of 'gettext' the only thing missing are the translations. The +Free Translation Project is also available for packages which are not +developed inside the GNU project. Therefore the information given above +applies also for every other Free Software Project. Contact +'coordinator@translationproject.org' to make the '.pot' files available +to the translation teams. |
