It was +originally derived from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/aurweb_Translation + +Creating an aurweb translation requires a Transifex (http://www.transifex.com/) +account. You will need to register with a translation team on the aurweb +project page (http://www.transifex.com/projects/p/aurweb/). + + +Creating a New Translation +-------------------------- + +Before beginning, please sign up for an Transifex account and request the +addition of a new translation team for the aurweb project. Also, please do not +translate if you are unwilling to maintain or find someone to maintain the +translation. This is due to the fact that aurweb is a rapidly evolving project +and there are constantly new strings to be translated. If the translations get +too out of sync with the released versions, there will be too many untranslated +strings for the translation to be usable, and it may have to be disabled. + +1. Check out the aurweb source using git: + +$ git clone git://projects.archlinux.org/aurweb.git aurweb-git + +2. Go into the "po/" directory in the aurweb source and run msginit(1) to + create a initial translation file from our translation catalog: + +$ cd aur-git +$ git checkout master +$ git pull +$ cd po +$ msginit -l <locale> -o <locale>.po -i aur.pot + +3. Use some editor or a translation helper like poedit to add translations: + +$ poedit <locale>.po + +5. If you have a working aurweb setup, add a line for the new translation in + "web/lib/config.inc.php.proto" and test if everything looks right. + +6. Upload the newly created ".po" file to Transifex. If you don't like the web + interface, you can also use transifex-client to do that (see below). + + +Updating an Existing Translation +-------------------------------- + +1. Download current translation files from Transifex. You can also do this + using transifex-client which is available through the AUR: + +$ tx pull -a + +2. Update the existing translation file using an editor or a tool like poedit: + +$ poedit po/<locale>.po + +3. Push the updated translation file back to Transifex. Using transifex-client, + this works as follows: + +$ tx push -r aur.aurpot -t -l <locale> |
