5 1 Notes on the Free Translation Project
6 ***************************************
7
8 Free software is going international!  The Free Translation Project is
9 a way to get maintainers of free software, translators, and users all
10 together, so that free software will gradually become able to speak many
11 languages.  A few packages already provide translations for their
12 messages.
13
14    If you found this `ABOUT-NLS' file inside a distribution, you may
15 assume that the distributed package does use GNU `gettext' internally,
16 itself available at your nearest GNU archive site.  But you do _not_
17 need to install GNU `gettext' prior to configuring, installing or using
18 this package with messages translated.
19
20    Installers will find here some useful hints.  These notes also
21 explain how users should proceed for getting the programs to use the
22 available translations.  They tell how people wanting to contribute and
23 work on translations can contact the appropriate team.
24
25    When reporting bugs in the `intl/' directory or bugs which may be
26 related to internationalization, you should tell about the version of
27 `gettext' which is used.  The information can be found in the
28 `intl/VERSION' file, in internationalized packages.
29
30 1.1 Quick configuration advice
31 ==============================
32
33 If you want to exploit the full power of internationalization, you
34 should configure it using
35
36      ./configure --with-included-gettext
37
38 to force usage of internationalizing routines provided within this
39 package, despite the existence of internationalizing capabilities in the
40 operating system where this package is being installed.  So far, only
41 the `gettext' implementation in the GNU C library version 2 provides as
42 many features (such as locale alias, message inheritance, automatic
43 charset conversion or plural form handling) as the implementation here.
44 It is also not possible to offer this additional functionality on top
45 of a `catgets' implementation.  Future versions of GNU `gettext' will
46 very likely convey even more functionality.  So it might be a good idea
47 to change to GNU `gettext' as soon as possible.
48
49    So you need _not_ provide this option if you are using GNU libc 2 or
50 you have installed a recent copy of the GNU gettext package with the
51 included `libintl'.
52
53 1.2 INSTALL Matters
54 ===================
55
56 Some packages are "localizable" when properly installed; the programs
57 they contain can be made to speak your own native language.  Most such
58 packages use GNU `gettext'.  Other packages have their own ways to
59 internationalization, predating GNU `gettext'.
60
61    By default, this package will be installed to allow translation of
62 messages.  It will automatically detect whether the system already
63 provides the GNU `gettext' functions.  If not, the included GNU
64 `gettext' library will be used.  This library is wholly contained
65 within this package, usually in the `intl/' subdirectory, so prior
66 installation of the GNU `gettext' package is _not_ required.
67 Installers may use special options at configuration time for changing
68 the default behaviour.  The commands:
69
70      ./configure --with-included-gettext
71      ./configure --disable-nls
72
73 will, respectively, bypass any pre-existing `gettext' to use the
74 internationalizing routines provided within this package, or else,
75 _totally_ disable translation of messages.
76
77    When you already have GNU `gettext' installed on your system and run
78 configure without an option for your new package, `configure' will
79 probably detect the previously built and installed `libintl.a' file and
80 will decide to use this.  This might not be desirable.  You should use
81 the more recent version of the GNU `gettext' library.  I.e. if the file
82 `intl/VERSION' shows that the library which comes with this package is
83 more recent, you should use
84
85      ./configure --with-included-gettext
86
87 to prevent auto-detection.
88
89    The configuration process will not test for the `catgets' function
90 and therefore it will not be used.  The reason is that even an
91 emulation of `gettext' on top of `catgets' could not provide all the
92 extensions of the GNU `gettext' library.
93
94    Internationalized packages usually have many `po/LL.po' files, where
95 LL gives an ISO 639 two-letter code identifying the language.  Unless
96 translations have been forbidden at `configure' time by using the
97 `--disable-nls' switch, all available translations are installed
98 together with the package.  However, the environment variable `LINGUAS'
99 may be set, prior to configuration, to limit the installed set.
100 `LINGUAS' should then contain a space separated list of two-letter
101 codes, stating which languages are allowed.
102
103 1.3 Using This Package
104 ======================
105
106 As a user, if your language has been installed for this package, you
107 only have to set the `LANG' environment variable to the appropriate
108 `LL_CC' combination.  Here `LL' is an ISO 639 two-letter language code,
109 and `CC' is an ISO 3166 two-letter country code.  For example, let's
110 suppose that you speak German and live in Germany.  At the shell
111 prompt, merely execute `setenv LANG de_DE' (in `csh'),
112 `export LANG; LANG=de_DE' (in `sh') or `export LANG=de_DE' (in `bash').
113 This can be done from your `.login' or `.profile' file, once and for
114 all.
115
116    You might think that the country code specification is redundant.
117 But in fact, some languages have dialects in different countries.  For
118 example, `de_AT' is used for Austria, and `pt_BR' for Brazil.  The
119 country code serves to distinguish the dialects.
120
121    The locale naming convention of `LL_CC', with `LL' denoting the
122 language and `CC' denoting the country, is the one use on systems based
123 on GNU libc.  On other systems, some variations of this scheme are
124 used, such as `LL' or `LL_CC.ENCODING'.  You can get the list of
125 locales supported by your system for your language by running the
126 command `locale -a | grep '^LL''.
127
128    Not all programs have translations for all languages.  By default, an
129 English message is shown in place of a nonexistent translation.  If you
130 understand other languages, you can set up a priority list of languages.
131 This is done through a different environment variable, called
132 `LANGUAGE'.  GNU `gettext' gives preference to `LANGUAGE' over `LANG'
133 for the purpose of message handling, but you still need to have `LANG'
134 set to the primary language; this is required by other parts of the
135 system libraries.  For example, some Swedish users who would rather
136 read translations in German than English for when Swedish is not
137 available, set `LANGUAGE' to `sv:de' while leaving `LANG' to `sv_SE'.
138
139    Special advice for Norwegian users: The language code for Norwegian
140 bokma*l changed from `no' to `nb' recently (in 2003).  During the
141 transition period, while some message catalogs for this language are
142 installed under `nb' and some older ones under `no', it's recommended
143 for Norwegian users to set `LANGUAGE' to `nb:no' so that both newer and
144 older translations are used.
145
146    In the `LANGUAGE' environment variable, but not in the `LANG'
147 environment variable, `LL_CC' combinations can be abbreviated as `LL'
148 to denote the language's main dialect.  For example, `de' is equivalent
149 to `de_DE' (German as spoken in Germany), and `pt' to `pt_PT'
150 (Portuguese as spoken in Portugal) in this context.
151
152 1.4 Translating Teams
153 =====================
154
155 For the Free Translation Project to be a success, we need interested
156 people who like their own language and write it well, and who are also
157 able to synergize with other translators speaking the same language.
158 Each translation team has its own mailing list.  The up-to-date list of
159 teams can be found at the Free Translation Project's homepage,
160 `http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/', in the "National teams"
161 area.
162
163    If you'd like to volunteer to _work_ at translating messages, you
164 should become a member of the translating team for your own language.
165 The subscribing address is _not_ the same as the list itself, it has
166 `-request' appended.  For example, speakers of Swedish can send a
167 message to `sv-request@li.org', having this message body:
168
169      subscribe
170
171    Keep in mind that team members are expected to participate
172 _actively_ in translations, or at solving translational difficulties,
173 rather than merely lurking around.  If your team does not exist yet and
174 you want to start one, or if you are unsure about what to do or how to
175 get started, please write to `translation@iro.umontreal.ca' to reach the
176 coordinator for all translator teams.
177
178    The English team is special.  It works at improving and uniformizing
179 the terminology in use.  Proven linguistic skills are praised more than
180 programming skills, here.
181
182 1.5 Available Packages
183 ======================
184
185 Languages are not equally supported in all packages.  The following
186 matrix shows the current state of internationalization, as of October
187 2006.  The matrix shows, in regard of each package, for which languages
188 PO files have been submitted to translation coordination, with a
189 translation percentage of at least 50%.

1071    Some counters in the preceding matrix are higher than the number of
1072 visible blocks let us expect.  This is because a few extra PO files are
1073 used for implementing regional variants of languages, or language
1074 dialects.
1075
1076    For a PO file in the matrix above to be effective, the package to
1077 which it applies should also have been internationalized and
1078 distributed as such by its maintainer.  There might be an observable
1079 lag between the mere existence a PO file and its wide availability in a
1080 distribution.
1081
1082    If October 2006 seems to be old, you may fetch a more recent copy of
1083 this `ABOUT-NLS' file on most GNU archive sites.  The most up-to-date
1084 matrix with full percentage details can be found at
1085 `http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/matrix.html'.

1087 1.6 Using `gettext' in new packages
1088 ===================================
1089
1090 If you are writing a freely available program and want to
1091 internationalize it you are welcome to use GNU `gettext' in your
1092 package.  Of course you have to respect the GNU Library General Public
1093 License which covers the use of the GNU `gettext' library.  This means
1094 in particular that even non-free programs can use `libintl' as a shared
1095 library, whereas only free software can use `libintl' as a static
1096 library or use modified versions of `libintl'.
1097
1098    Once the sources are changed appropriately and the setup can handle
1099 the use of `gettext' the only thing missing are the translations.  The
1100 Free Translation Project is also available for packages which are not
1101 developed inside the GNU project.  Therefore the information given above
1102 applies also for every other Free Software Project.  Contact
1103 `translation@iro.umontreal.ca' to make the `.pot' files available to
1104 the translation teams.
