{{Translations}} |

These instructions applies to a python activity using the base activity classes and the bundlebuilder. For more background information about Localization please see the [[Localization]] page. |
|||
== Activity authors == |
|||
=== Make the code translatable === |
|||
* Import the gettext module |
|||
from gettext import gettext as _ |
|||
* Mark strings as translatable using <tt>_('String')</tt> |
|||
self._forward.set_tooltip('''_('Forward')''') |
|||
=== Generate the POT file for translators === |
|||
* You will need to generate it and push it in the repository every time you add strings. (XXX how do we automatize it) |
|||
./setup.py dist |
|||
=== Get your strings localized === |
|||
* Open a new [http://dev.laptop.org/newticket Trac ticket], in the Localization component, specifying the source repository location. You will need to include the following information (with examples): |
|||
** Module name (''Write'') |
|||
** Maintainer Name + Email (''Foo Bar / foo@foo.com'') |
|||
** Maintainer URL (''http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ChristopherBlizzard'') |
|||
** URL to your repository (i.e. ''http://dev.laptop.org/git.do?p=sugar;a=summary'') |
|||
Once that's done the people who [[Translators|care about localization]] can get the <tt>.pot</tt> files to translate and can contribute them back. |
|||
== [[Translators]] == |
|||
* Go to the [http://translate.fedoraproject.org/releases/olpc OLPC release set] on [http://translate.fedoraproject.org Fedora Translations] to find out which projects needs translation and to download the current translation files (or the POT). |
|||
*: ''Please check if the translation hasn't been filed [http://dev.laptop.org/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&component=localization&order=priority querying Trac] first'' |
|||
* Once your translation is ready open a new [http://dev.laptop.org/newticket Trac ticket], in the Localization component and '''attach''' your translation (as a <tt>.po</tt> file). You will need an account ([http://dev.laptop.org/login login] or [http://dev.laptop.org/register register]) |
