; UPDATE : The test has gone forward and we are in the process of establishing the workflow to make it the [[Localization|Localization (L10N)]] platform of the XO.
; WANTED : Volunteers both for translating and coordinating. If interested [[Pootle#Sign-up|sign-up as a volunteer]]!
</big>

Some ways to find the translate server: 
* '''[http://dev.laptop.org/translate dev.laptop.org/translate]'''
* '''[http://solar.laptop.org:5080 solar.laptop.org, port 5080]''' (old pootle server) 

These are the notes taken and rough sketches for the processes involved in the [[localization]] effort in order to use [http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/index '''Pootle'''] as a more liberal L10n platform.

There are several scenarios that depend on the roles and their associated responsibilities (ie: translators, coders, administrators, etc). Below we outline the two most important ones from the POV of the [[translators]] that we could classify as either the ''opportunistic translator'' (fixing a typo or translating a few missing strings) and a ''registered translator'' (that is somehow more committed with the whole [[Localization|l10n]] reality).

If we consider that in the ultimate case children will be dealing with code (thus with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettext <tt>gettext</tt>]), we want things and processes to be as simple and straight forward as possible, so that in the end anybody, including children, will be able to translate or at least localize content to some degree. With this in mind, we aim for an environment that will:
* allow anybody to make suggestions,
* allow registered and trusted users to review and make translations, and
* administrators to commit.

== i18n & L10n ==

Most people will argue that [[Localization|localization (L10n / l10n)]] concerns and issues should be tackled way before coding is finished, and quite a few will categorically say that it will be too late by then. Avoiding the philosophical and formal aspects, and taking a more pragmatic approach, L10n is usually an afterthought and [[Python i18n|internationalization (i18n)]] an annoying prerequisite... that has to be done.

In the context of the OLPC XO [[software]] and [[activities]], and for practical purposes will avoid the debate on exactly where does L10n meets the code and start from the point where the output of i18n is used as the input for the l10n process. In other words, we'll elaborate based on the simplistic model that goes along the line:
# programmer uses gettext function calls around human readable language in the source code
# generate POT (gettext Portable Object Template) from the source code (output of the i18n process)
# generate PO (gettext Portable Object) based on POT
# translate / populate the PO with locale specific content
# generate the final PO (or MO) (gettext Machine Object, output of the l10n process)
# the executable code uses the PO (or MO) to comunicate with the final user


=== Developers ===
: ''see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalization_and_localization Wikipedia's overview], [[Python_i18n|Python internationalization]], 
[http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/guide/start the Translate project's guide], [http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/kdeqt/kde3arch/kde-i18n-howto.html KDE i18n guide], [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_chapter/gettext_10.html GNU gettext manual] and [http://www.google.com/search?q=i18n+internationalization+internationalisation other sources]''


Developers willing to read a bit more about i18n & L10n, should review the links above. Regardless of how much or how good the i18n effort is, [[Pootle]]'s needs one (or more) '''<tt>.POT</tt>''' files. Developers should be aware that '''localization is NOT just about instrumenting strings''', as it includes [http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/plurals_programmers plurals], numbers, dates, currencies, text-flow, scripts, fonts... and that it needs to be tested (ie: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudolocalization pseudolocalization testing]) that needs to be considered in the overall development cycle. Also, if you want your activity to be properly localized, think about [http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/translation_comments commenting your strings].

=== Translators ===
: ''see [http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/guide/start L10n guide], [http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/guide/start#translation translation guide], {{pending|more links to come...}}''

Being able to understand or grasp the intended meaning of some text in a language does not make you a translator, but [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasmus "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."] and all collaborations are welcome, although we also recommend reading some guidelines and documentation that may at least help you avoid some of the basic or typical errors and pitfalls.

== Basic Scenarios ==

The basic idea is to allow the participation of anybody willing to put some effort while trying to keep a given quality of the translations. 

* You can download the PO, so there's no forcing of the on-line UI (although you need the [[#User permissions|upload right]] to inject it back. So before going the ''offline road'' please coordinate with the [[#language administration|admins]].
* In the translation interface, fuzzy entries are grayed out and there's a gray vertical line separating the terms

=== Opportunistic translator ===

This user '''just wants to help'''. She/he doesn't want to get tangled in the administrative tasks. The only possible collaboration available is to [[#User permissions|''suggest'']] translations (which will be reviewed by users who have been granted the [[#user permissions|Review permission]] in a particular language).

After '''navigating''' to the [http://solar.laptop.org:5080 olpc pootle server] '''project:''' [http://solar.laptop.org:5080/projects/olpc olpc] '''language:''' [http://solar.laptop.org:5080/es/olpc spanish] to finally reach a '''file''' (ie: [http://solar.laptop.org:5080/es/olpc/TamTamSynthLab.master.es.po?translate=1&view=1 '''TamTamSynthLab'''])

The interface will display a series of PO entries (one will have the focus&mdash;if it doesn't, you can double click the entry, or hovering over one will make an 'Edit' link appear that enables it&mdash;showing an entry field, and the following controls:

{{pending|a picture is worth 1000 words}}
* Back & ''Skip'' buttons &mdash; jump to the previous or next entry
* Copy button &mdash; copies the original (''msgid'') value and continues in edit mode
* '''Suggest''' button &mdash; the actual '''collaboration''' of suggesting a translation
* Fuzzy checkbox &mdash; denotes that the suggested translation is/is not 100% trustworthy
* Special characters specific to the language (see [[#Languages]])
* ''grow / shrink'' &mdash; allows growing and shrinking of the entry field (see [[#User options]]
* Translator comments field &mdash; comments either extracted from the source code, or added by other translators
The opportunistic translator then proceeds to navigate the file/s entering suggestions (to be processed later by the [[#User permissions|reviewers]]).

----

; Admin notes : The [[#User permissions|<tt>Suggest</tt> permission]] must be granted on a per-language-project basis.
: Each language may have specific or special characters that are may not be available in the user's keyboard, but can be provided for in the [[#Language]] specification.

=== Registered translator ===

Except for the mandatory [[#Register as a translator|pre-condition to register]], which enables the extra <tt>[Submit]</tt> button when translating, the overall process is quite similar to that of the [[#Opportunistic translator]]. On the other hand, several [[#User permissions|user-specific permissions]] may apply (ie: off-line translation) and the GUI will adapt and offer them. Also, as a registered translator, you may be assigned specific files or strings to translate and/or review, allowing to better coordinate the overall effort.

----

; Admin notes : In a collaborative and low-entry-barrier process, the [[#User privileges|administrator/s]] should enable the <tt>''default''</tt> user to actually <tt>translate</tt> &mdash; Navigation: <tt>admin | projects | ''project_name'' | ''language'' | permissions +Translate</tt>.
: The <tt>default</tt> [[#user permissions]] apply to any registered user (unless they are overridden in a case-by-case approach). In the out-of-the-box install they include: <tt>View, Suggest, Archive & Compile PO files</tt>

== User Scenarios ==

=== Register as a translator ===

# Head towards the [http://solar.laptop.org:5080/ pootle site]
# Follows the [https://dev.laptop.org/translate/register.html register] link where you fill the following fields: <tt>Username, Password, Confirm password, Full Name & Email Address</tt>, clicking on the <tt>[Register Account]</tt> button that will send a confirmation message to the email address with the activation code.
# Following the link in the email will activate the newly created account. After which it will ask you to login and take you to your user page.

=== User options ===

In your user page there's a link to <tt>Change options</tt> that will allow you define some things:
* '''Projects''' you wish to participate (for the moment only '''olpc''' should be considered a valid option)
* '''Languages''' you wish to collaborate in. If you don't find your language, as an administrator you can associate it to the project (see [[#Languages]]) or as a mere mortal, you should contact an administrator.
* {{pending|Other options}} like personal data & translation UI are present.
After configuring, don't forget to hit the <tt>[Save changes]</tt> button to make them effective, after which you can return to your [[#user page]] by means of the <tt>Home Page</tt> link.

=== User page ===
: aka: 'Home', or 'My account' page.

You can reach your user page following the <tt>Home</tt> or <tt>My account</tt> link (depending on where you are) and it will show the appropriate links to the selected projects grouped by languages:
* The language link takes you to the statistics page per project
* the project-in-a-language link takes you the the statistics page displaying all its files

== Advanced User Scenarios ==

=== Reviewer ===

A user who has been granted the <tt>Review</tt> permission, may accept or reject the ''suggestions'' made by users (who must have the <tt>Suggest</tt> permission). The way to do this {{pending|is there another?}} is to go to a language/project combination (ie: [http://solar.laptop.org:5080/es/olpc/ spanish-olpc]) and follow the [http://solar.laptop.org:5080/es/olpc/index.html?editing=1 Show Editing Functions]. Here you have two alternatives: review the whole set of suggestions in the language-project set, or work on the suggestions present in a specific file (ie: [http://solar.laptop.org:5080/es/olpc/translate.html?review=1&editing=1&has-suggestion=1 all suggestions] or [http://solar.laptop.org:5080/es/olpc/TamTamSynthLab.master.es.po?translate=1&review=1&editing=1&has-suggestion=1 TamTamSynthLab suggestions]).

Once in the review UI, the reviewer has four options: <tt>Accept, Reject, Back or Skip</tt> which are self evident, but nevertheless will mention: 
{|
|-
! align=right | Accept
| the reviewer translator accepts the suggestion and is registered
|-
! align=right | Reject
| the suggested translation is rejected {{pending|does that mean erased for the user or the file?}}
|-
! align=right | Back
| goes to the previous suggestion {{pending|assume a previous non-accepted/rejected suggestion}}
|-
! align=right | Skip
| goes to the next available suggestion
|}
In the case where multiple suggestions have been made, each one has its <tt>Accept & Reject</tt> buttons, while only the last will have the <tt>Back & Skip</tt> buttons.

Regardless of the multiplicity of suggestions, each suggested string will be ''diffed'' with the current string highlighting the changes. It also displays (if available) the name of the user that made the suggestion.

=== Editing functions ===

This section of the UI displays on a per-file basis several functionalities that depend on the permissions of the user:
{|
|-
! align=right | Translate All
| Goes to each string individually no matter what their state, across all files
|-
! align=right | Quick Translate
| Only go to strings that are fuzzy or untranslated, across all files
|-
! align=right | Translate My Strings
| As Translate All but only go to strings that are assigned to you.
|-
! align=right | Quick Translate My Strings
| As with Quick Translate but only go to fuzzy and untranslated strings that are assigned to you.
|-
! align=right | PO file
| used for off-line translators in order to retrieve the whole .PO file.
|-
! align=right | XLIFF file
| used for off-line translators and interfaces to retrieve the whole file in said format. {{pending|explore}}
|-
! align=right | Qt .ts file
| {{pending|explore}}
|-
! align=right | CSV file
| {{pending|explore}}
|}

=== Show checks ===
: ''For more information on the quality checks, see [http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/pofilter_tests the documentation].
This functionality is a real helper (at least for latin scripts) as it runs a series of checks on the translations. So [[Pootle]] besides the obvious verification of translated+fuzzy+untranslated check, it verifies:
* <tt>simplecaps</tt> &mdash; for extra capital letters
* <tt>startcaps</tt> &mdash; initial capital letter matches between source & translation
* <tt>startpunc</tt> &mdash; if the original doesn't start with a letter, the translation probably shouldn't either
* <tt>unchanged</tt> &mdash; the source & translation are the same
* <tt>others</tt> &mdash; for a total of [http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/pofilter_tests 44 checks].  The most important being the ''critical'' tests: accelerators, escapes, newlines, nplurals, printf, tabs, variables and xmltags


Obviously, these checks, as any automated language process, are to be taken as a guidance and not as a rule.  The check behaviour can be adjusted for a language, e.g. <tt>simplecaps</tt> could be disabled for a language that does not have a concept of capitals, <tt>doublequoting</tt> can be made aware of quote characters used in a language.  These are changed by providing a <tt>lang</tt> module e.g. [http://translate.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/translate/src/trunk/translate/lang/ja.py?revision=6363&view=markup Japanese] and [http://translate.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/translate/src/trunk/translate/lang/fr.py?revision=5073&view=markup French].

=== Zip of folder ===

Actually, any 'grouping' of PO files may be downloaded as a ZIP file if the user has the [[#User permissions|archive]] right. In other words, you can download the files in a language, goal, file, etc. It {{pending|may be possible that [[Pootle]] extracts and recombines from several files in order to provide the zip with say 'My Strings'}} for offline work.
