Thread: Have translators, will web ...
WWW Folks, I have some fairly enthusiastic translators now. After the release, I could easily turn some of them on to the web site, if someone could hand them a HOWTO that clearly explains the web translation process for people without HTML skills. Is there one? -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

Is there one? The README file pretty much only says: "Preparing and adding a new translation There are two tasks in translating the site to a new language: 1) Preparing gettext translation for dynamic templates and PHP scripts. 2) Translating the static pages. Finally, one has to edit system/global/languages.php and add a new language entry to the array[s] within. After the language is made known to the website, there is a new task: 3) Translating the content stored in database (done via admin/ scripts)." 1) is handled using normal .po files stored in the po subdirectory in cvs. 2) is handled by taking a copy of the files in the template/en directory one by one into template/<newlang> and just translating the contents. 3) is a web interface, just needs a login A question to others though: do we have a way to track which translations are updated? It should preferrably show on the page when the english page has been changed since the translation. It may already do this, since there is pretty much no translation up, if so just let me know please :-) If not, we should probably consider adding it. Anybody know? (goes for all points 1,2 and 3 above) //Magnus

I think without a way to track what's done and what needs to be done, we really can't turn volunteers loose on this. We also need some *clear* instructions that don't depend on people understanding how web directories work, HTML, or what .po files are. --Josh -- __Aglio Database Solutions_______________ Josh Berkus Consultant josh@agliodbs.com www.agliodbs.com Ph: 415-752-2500 Fax: 415-752-2387 2166 Hayes Suite 200 San Francisco, CA

Translators need to know what po files are otherwise they're not going to get anywhere (and before you suggest it, rewriting poedit as a web app really isn't an option :-p ). Regards, Dave.
Hello guys, After checking out the pgweb/portal directory from gborg, and i'm trying to set up a local postgresql site so that i could finish translating it to Romanian. I had done this in March, when i had translated most of the static pages. In the meantime i moved to another workstation, and i have to configure everything again. Where could i find a copy of the database dump ? Cheers, Adrian Maier
(this is a re-posting) Hello guys, After checking out the pgweb/portal directory from gborg, and i'm trying to set up a local postgresql site so that i could finish translating it to Romanian. I had done this in March, when i had translated most of the static pages. In the meantime i moved to another workstation, and i have to configure everything again. Where could i find a copy of the database dump ? By the way: Right now www.postgresql.ro is hosted on svr2.postgresql.org and momentarily i've put there only an index.html which redirects to www.postgresql.org. But, it appears like the dns record for www.postgresql.ro points to 200.46.204.209 instead of 65.19.161.25 (svr2). As a result, if someone opens http://www.postgresql.ro in a browser the page that appears is the old version of the advocacy site. The domain is hosted on the hub.org's dns server(s). Could we fix the IP address of www.postgresql.ro, please ? :-) Cheers, Adrian Maier

I can't seem to find the url. Actually I am wondering if it would just be easier to make Adrian an account on svr2 so he could work directly from there. > > By the way: > Right now www.postgresql.ro is hosted on svr2.postgresql.org and > momentarily i've put there only an index.html which redirects to > www.postgresql.org. > > But, it appears like the dns record for www.postgresql.ro > points to 200.46.204.209 instead of 65.19.161.25 (svr2). > As a result, if someone opens http://www.postgresql.ro in a > browser the page that appears is the old version of the advocacy > site. > The domain is hosted on the hub.org's dns server(s).

They contain IP addresses that could identify users, so it's not something we make public. I'll sort out a copy for Adrian at some point, though it might not be for a few days as I'm larging it up (UK expression) in Tokyo with Hiroshi, Magnus and Andreas ATM :-) Regards, Dave
