; NOTICE : The use of [[Pootle]] is currently under test and should by no means be taken or considered to be part of the [[Localization]] process for the XO.
; 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]]!

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 anybody to make suggestions,
* allow registered users to make translations, and
* allow registered and trusted users to review and make translations, and
* administrators to commit.
* administrators to commit.

If the quality is not satisfactory, we can probably revert to more 'traditional' and bureaucratic structures; or try to develop tools that guarantee or hint appropriately without sacrificing the liberty and agility that will be required by children.

== 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/guide/translation_comments commenting your strings].

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.

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

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.
The <tt>default</tt> [[#user permissions]] apply to any registered user (unless they are overridden in case-by-case approach). In the out-of-the-box install they include: <tt>View, Suggest, Archive & Compile PO files</tt>

The process is similar to the [[#Opportunistic translator]] with the exception that you have an extra button <tt>[Submit]</tt> that effectively translates the string.

On top of this, although volunteer gnrfan joined the fray (doing the backport), our experience with git is way below average and we are totally in the dark about how does [[Pootle]] actually obtain and store the POT files. We seem to have found a way (using symlinks in the [[Pootle]] subdirectories pointing to the repository files) but this solution although it may work, is a bit obscure and not even hinted by the documentation of [[Pootle]]:

''To have any sort of integration with version control from within Pootle, it is necessary to check out the translation files into their correct places in their Pootle projects. The CVS or SVN meta files (CVS/ or .svn/) need to be there. This has to be done outside of Pootle.''

This is an extremely helpful functionality, particularly if we want to open the translation process to non-professional and [[#Opportunistic translator]]s because it aids them in preserving the terminology that has been decided upon by the more involved segments of the community (ie: will the olpc.es translate "cat" as "gato" or "mish"?)

Please note that the old Pootle address of http://dev.laptop.org/translate does not work anymore. Please use http://translate.sugarlabs.org instead.

All data and user accounts should work in the new Pootle installation.
IRC #olpc-pootle, #olpc-content

UPDATE
The test has gone forward and we are in the process of establishing the workflow to make it the Localization (L10N) platform of the XO.
WANTED
Volunteers both for translating and coordinating. If interested sign-up as a volunteer!

Some ways to find the translate server:

These are the notes taken and rough sketches for the processes involved in the localization effort in order to use 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 l10n reality).

If we consider that in the ultimate case children will be dealing with code (thus with gettext), 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.

How to Translate for OLPC XO and Sugar using Pootle

i18n & L10n

Most people will argue that 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 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:

  1. programmer uses gettext function calls around human readable language in the source code
  2. generate POT (gettext Portable Object Template) from the source code (output of the i18n process)
  3. generate PO (gettext Portable Object) based on POT
  4. translate / populate the PO with locale specific content
  5. generate the final PO (or MO) (gettext Machine Object, output of the l10n process)
  6. the executable code uses the PO (or MO) to comunicate with the final user


Developers

see Wikipedia's overview, Python internationalization,

the Translate project's guide, KDE i18n guide, GNU gettext manual and 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) .POT files. Developers should be aware that localization is NOT just about instrumenting strings, as it includes plurals, numbers, dates, currencies, text-flow, scripts, fonts... and that it needs to be tested (ie: pseudolocalization testing) that needs to be considered in the overall development cycle. Also, if you want your activity to be properly localized, think about commenting your strings.

Translators

see Translating for the OLPC project using Pootle, The Translator's Guide, L10n guide, translation guide, 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 "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 upload right to inject it back. So before going the offline road please coordinate with the 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 suggest translations (which will be reviewed by users who have been granted the Review permission in a particular language).

After navigating to the olpc pootle server project: olpc language: spanish to finally reach a file (ie: TamTamSynthLab)

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

a picture is worth 1000 words

  • Back & Skip buttons — jump to the previous or next entry
  • Copy button — copies the original (msgid) value and continues in edit mode
  • Suggest button — the actual collaboration of suggesting a translation
  • Fuzzy checkbox — denotes that the suggested translation is/is not 100% trustworthy
  • Special characters specific to the language (see #Languages)
  • grow / shrink — allows growing and shrinking of the entry field (see #User options
  • Translator comments field — 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 reviewers).

Admin notes
The Suggest 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 pre-condition to register, which enables the extra [Submit] button when translating, the overall process is quite similar to that of the #Opportunistic translator. On the other hand, several 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 administrator/s should enable the default user to actually translate — Navigation: admin | projects | project_name | language | permissions +Translate.
The default #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: View, Suggest, Archive & Compile PO files

User Scenarios

Register as a translator

  1. Head towards the pootle site
  1. Follow the register link where you fill in the following fields: Username, Password, Confirm password, Full Name & Email Address; click on the [Register Account] button that will send a confirmation message to the email address with an activation code.
  2. Following the link in the email will activate the newly created account after which you will be asked to log in.

User options

In your user page there's a link to Change options 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.
  • Other options like personal data & translation UI are present.

After configuring, don't forget to hit the [Save changes] button to make them effective, after which you can return to your #user page by means of the Home Page link.

User page

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

You can reach your user page following the Home or My account 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 Review permission, may accept or reject the suggestions made by users (who must have the Suggest permission). The way to do this is there another? is to go to a language/project combination (ie: spanish-olpc) and follow the 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: all suggestions or TamTamSynthLab suggestions).

Once in the review UI, the reviewer has four options: Accept, Reject, Back or Skip which are self evident, but nevertheless will mention:

Accept the reviewer translator accepts the suggestion and is registered
Reject the suggested translation is rejected does that mean erased for the user or the file?
Back goes to the previous suggestion assume a previous non-accepted/rejected suggestion
Skip goes to the next available suggestion

In the case where multiple suggestions have been made, each one has its Accept & Reject buttons, while only the last will have the Back & Skip 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:

Translate All Goes to each string individually no matter what their state, across all files
Quick Translate Only go to strings that are fuzzy or untranslated, across all files
Translate My Strings As Translate All but only go to strings that are assigned to you.
Quick Translate My Strings As with Quick Translate but only go to fuzzy and untranslated strings that are assigned to you.
PO file used for off-line translators in order to retrieve the whole .PO file.
XLIFF file used for off-line translators and interfaces to retrieve the whole file in said format. explore
Qt .ts file explore
CSV file explore

Show checks

For more information on the quality checks, see 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:

  • simplecaps — for extra capital letters
  • startcaps — initial capital letter matches between source & translation
  • startpunc — if the original doesn't start with a letter, the translation probably shouldn't either
  • unchanged — the source & translation are the same
  • others — for a total of 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. simplecaps could be disabled for a language that does not have a concept of capitals, doublequoting can be made aware of quote characters used in a language. These are changed by providing a lang module e.g. Japanese and French.

Zip of folder

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