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 _('String')

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 care about localization can get the .pot files to translate and can contribute them back.

== Translators ==

* Go to page for the project you want to translate on [http://translate.fedoraproject.org Fedora Translations].
** [http://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/olpc-journal-activity Journal]
** [http://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/olpc-sugar Sugar]
** [http://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/olpc-web-activity Web]
** [http://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/olpc-write Write]
** [http://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/olpc-xbook Xbook]
* 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 .po file).
