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 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).
** You will need an account
** 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]
