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. |
