This document explains how to create a GnuCash translation file for
|
||||
use with GNU gettext.
|
||||
|
||||
by Yannick LE NY <y-le-ny@ifrance.com>, the French translator
|
||||
V1.0 - 20000707
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1) Take the file gnucash.pot, edit it with any text editor and save it
|
||||
as 'CODE-COUNTRY.po' (it must be a plain text file only not formatted text)
|
||||
where the CODE-COUNTRY is two or more letters which denote the language
|
||||
and country for the translation.
|
||||
|
||||
For example: 'it' for Italy, 'fr' for France, 'de' for Germany,
|
||||
and fr_BE.po for people in Belgium who speak French.
|
||||
|
||||
For france, the file is 'fr.po'.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2) Now at the top of the file, you have this:
|
||||
|
||||
# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
|
||||
# Copyright (C) YEAR Free Software Foundation, Inc.
|
||||
# FIRST AUTHOR <EMAIL@ADDRESS>, YEAR.
|
||||
|
||||
You need to update this with the current information.
|
||||
|
||||
For example in the de.po file, we have this:
|
||||
|
||||
# Messages in Deutsch für GnuCash
|
||||
# Copyright (C) 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
|
||||
# Jan-Uwe Finck <Jan-Uwe.Finck@bigfoot.de>, 1999.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3) Next, you need to translate each English string into the target
|
||||
language, for example:
|
||||
|
||||
Before:
|
||||
|
||||
#: messages-i18n.c:11
|
||||
msgid ""
|
||||
"The GnuCash personal finance manager.\n"
|
||||
"The GNU way to manage your money!"
|
||||
msgstr ""
|
||||
|
||||
After, the tranlation in the de.po file:
|
||||
|
||||
#: messages-i18n.c:11
|
||||
msgid ""
|
||||
"The GnuCash personal finance manager.\n"
|
||||
"The GNU way to manage your money!"
|
||||
msgstr ""
|
||||
"GnuCash: Ihr persönlicher Finanzmanager.\n"
|
||||
"Der GNU-Weg, ihr Geld zu verwalten !"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4) When you are ready to test out the strings you have translated,
|
||||
save the file.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5) Now, if you have the gettext package installed, you can compile your
|
||||
po file with this command (run it in the gnucash/po directory):
|
||||
|
||||
msgfmt fr.po --output=./gnucash.mo
|
||||
|
||||
This will create the file 'gnucash.mo' which you can copy to the
|
||||
appropriate locale directory for your installation. On a RedHat 6.1
|
||||
installation, the directory is /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES.
|
||||
|
||||
When running GnuCash, you must set the appropriate locale environment
|
||||
variables:
|
||||
|
||||
In French, with bash:
|
||||
export LANG=fr_FR
|
||||
|
||||
In French, with tcsh:
|
||||
setenv LANG fr_FR
|
||||
|
||||
6) Once you have a finished, working po file, need to compress your file
|
||||
with gzip. On command line, type 'gzip fr.po' (for the French file) and
|
||||
now you have a new compressed file named 'fr.po.gz'.
|
||||
Email this file to gnucash-patches@gnucash.org.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Remarks
|
||||
|
||||
You can get more information about gettext and the po file format in
|
||||
the 'info' pages for GNU gettext. Type 'info gettext' at the command
|
||||
line.
|
||||
|
||||
Dave Peticolas <dave@krondo.com>, the CVS maintainer for GnuCash,
|
||||
regularly updates the po files, and you may need to add some
|
||||
translations to the file or correct some strings.
|
||||
|
||||
In the updated po files, you should not have the word 'fuzzy',
|
||||
otherwise GnuCash will not use the translated string.
|
||||
|
||||
Two examples from the file de.po:
|
||||
|
||||
1) You have this:
|
||||
|
||||
#: messages-i18n.c:35
|
||||
#, fuzzy, c-format
|
||||
msgid ""
|
||||
"There was an error writing the file\n"
|
||||
" %s\n"
|
||||
"\n"
|
||||
"%s"
|
||||
msgstr ""
|
||||
"Es gab einen Fehler beim Öffnen der Datei. \n"
|
||||
" %s."
|
||||
|
||||
You need to correct the translated string and remove the 'fuzzy' keyword.
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
#: messages-i18n.c:35
|
||||
#, c-format
|
||||
msgid ""
|
||||
"There was an error writing the file\n"
|
||||
" %s\n"
|
||||
"\n"
|
||||
"%s"
|
||||
msgstr ""
|
||||
"Es gab einen Fehler beim Öffnen der Datei. \n"
|
||||
" %s."
|
||||
|
||||
2) You have this:
|
||||
|
||||
#: messages-i18n.c:251
|
||||
#, fuzzy
|
||||
msgid "Show Income/Expense"
|
||||
msgstr "Einnahmen/Ausgaben anzeigen"
|
||||
|
||||
You need to correct the translated string and remove the 'fuzzy' keyword.
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
#: messages-i18n.c:251
|
||||
msgid "Show Income/Expense"
|
||||
msgstr "Einnahmen/Ausgaben anzeigen"
