| 3 | | == Translators == |
| 4 | | |
| 5 | | To help translate Deluge please register at the Launchpad [https://translations.launchpad.net/deluge/ translation site] |
| 6 | | |
| 7 | | == Marking Text for Translation == |
| 8 | | |
| 9 | | To mark text for translation in Python and ExtJS wrap the string with the function `_()` like this: |
| 10 | | {{{ |
| 11 | | torrent.set_tracker_status(_("Announce OK")) |
| 12 | | }}} |
| 13 | | |
| 14 | | For GTK you can move the translation out of the code and into the `glade` files: |
| 15 | | {{{ |
| 16 | | <property name="label" translatable="yes">Max Upload Speed:</property> |
| 17 | | }}} |
| 18 | | |
| 19 | | For more details see: [http://docs.python.org/library/gettext.html Python Gettext] |
| 20 | | |
| 21 | | == Translation Process == |
| 22 | | |
| 23 | | These are the overall stages in gettext translation: ''POT (Portable Object Template) files'' `->` '' PO (Portable Object) files'' `->` ''MO (Machine Object) files'' |
| 24 | | |
| 25 | | * `potfiles.in` is created using `create_potfiles_in.py`. |
| 26 | | * `deluge.pot` is created using `gettextize.sh`. |
| 27 | | * Upload `deluge/i18n/deluge.pot` to [https://translations.launchpad.net/deluge/ Translation site] |
| 28 | | * Wait for the translators to translate the text. |
| 29 | | * Download the updated `PO` files from translation site, extract to `deluge/i18n/` and strip the `deluge-` prefix: {{{rename -f 's/^deluge-//' deluge-*.po}}} |
| 30 | | * The binary `MO` files for each language are generated in `setup.py` by using the `msgfmt.py` script. |
| 31 | | |
| 32 | | To enable WebUI to use translations update `gettext.js` by running `gen_gettext.py` script. |
| 33 | | |
| 34 | | == Useful Applications == |
| 35 | | |
| 36 | | * [http://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/projects/podiff/ podiff] - Compare textual information in two PO files |
| 37 | | * [http://projects.gnome.org/gtranslator/ gtranslator] - GUI po file editor |
| 38 | | * [http://www.poedit.net/ Poedit] - GUI po file editor |
| 39 | | |
| 40 | | == Testing Translation == |
| 41 | | |
| 42 | | Verification that translations are working correctly can be performed by running deluge as follows. |
| 43 | | |
| 44 | | Create an `MO` for a single language in the correct sub-directory: |
| 45 | | |
| 46 | | {{{ |
| 47 | | mkdir -p deluge/i18n/fr/LC_MESSAGES |
| 48 | | python msgfmt.py -o deluge/i18n/fr/LC_MESSAGES/deluge.mo deluge/i18n/fr.po |
| 49 | | }}} |
| 50 | | |
| 51 | | Run Deluge using an alternative language: |
| 52 | | {{{ |
| 53 | | LANGUAGE=fr deluge |
| 54 | | LANGUAGE=ru_RU.UTF-8 deluge |
| 55 | | }}} |
| 56 | | |
| 57 | | Note: If you do not have a particular language installed on your system it will only translate based on the `MO` files for Deluge so some GTK text/button strings will remain in English. |
