CW		 11 Notes on the Free Translation Project
2***************************************
d4c0f4e5 3
a15e13ca
CW		 4Free software is going international! The Free Translation Project is
5a way to get maintainers of free software, translators, and users all
6together, so that free software will gradually become able to speak many
7languages. A few packages already provide translations for their
8messages.
d4c0f4e5
CW		 9
10 If you found this `ABOUT-NLS' file inside a distribution, you may
11assume that the distributed package does use GNU `gettext' internally,
12itself available at your nearest GNU archive site. But you do _not_
13need to install GNU `gettext' prior to configuring, installing or using
14this package with messages translated.
15
16 Installers will find here some useful hints. These notes also
17explain how users should proceed for getting the programs to use the
18available translations. They tell how people wanting to contribute and
a15e13ca 19work on translations can contact the appropriate team.
d4c0f4e5
CW		 20
21 When reporting bugs in the `intl/' directory or bugs which may be
22related to internationalization, you should tell about the version of
23`gettext' which is used. The information can be found in the
24`intl/VERSION' file, in internationalized packages.
25
a15e13ca
CW		 261.1 Quick configuration advice
27==============================
d4c0f4e5 28
a15e13ca 29If you want to exploit the full power of internationalization, you
d4c0f4e5
CW		 30should configure it using
31
32 ./configure --with-included-gettext
33
34to force usage of internationalizing routines provided within this
35package, despite the existence of internationalizing capabilities in the
36operating system where this package is being installed. So far, only
37the `gettext' implementation in the GNU C library version 2 provides as
38many features (such as locale alias, message inheritance, automatic
39charset conversion or plural form handling) as the implementation here.
40It is also not possible to offer this additional functionality on top
41of a `catgets' implementation. Future versions of GNU `gettext' will
42very likely convey even more functionality. So it might be a good idea
43to change to GNU `gettext' as soon as possible.
44
45 So you need _not_ provide this option if you are using GNU libc 2 or
46you have installed a recent copy of the GNU gettext package with the
47included `libintl'.
48
a15e13ca
CW		 491.2 INSTALL Matters
50===================
d4c0f4e5 51
a15e13ca
CW		 52Some packages are "localizable" when properly installed; the programs
53they contain can be made to speak your own native language. Most such
54packages use GNU `gettext'. Other packages have their own ways to
55internationalization, predating GNU `gettext'.
d4c0f4e5
CW		 56
57 By default, this package will be installed to allow translation of
58messages. It will automatically detect whether the system already
a15e13ca
CW		 59provides the GNU `gettext' functions. If not, the included GNU
60`gettext' library will be used. This library is wholly contained
61within this package, usually in the `intl/' subdirectory, so prior
62installation of the GNU `gettext' package is _not_ required.
63Installers may use special options at configuration time for changing
64the default behaviour. The commands:
d4c0f4e5
CW		 65
66 ./configure --with-included-gettext
67 ./configure --disable-nls
68
a15e13ca 69will, respectively, bypass any pre-existing `gettext' to use the
d4c0f4e5
CW		 70internationalizing routines provided within this package, or else,
71_totally_ disable translation of messages.
72
73 When you already have GNU `gettext' installed on your system and run
74configure without an option for your new package, `configure' will
75probably detect the previously built and installed `libintl.a' file and
a15e13ca
CW		 76will decide to use this. This might not be desirable. You should use
77the more recent version of the GNU `gettext' library. I.e. if the file
78`intl/VERSION' shows that the library which comes with this package is
79more recent, you should use
d4c0f4e5
CW		 80
81 ./configure --with-included-gettext
82
83to prevent auto-detection.
84
85 The configuration process will not test for the `catgets' function
86and therefore it will not be used. The reason is that even an
87emulation of `gettext' on top of `catgets' could not provide all the
88extensions of the GNU `gettext' library.
89
a15e13ca 90 Internationalized packages usually have many `po/LL.po' files, where
d4c0f4e5
CW		 91LL gives an ISO 639 two-letter code identifying the language. Unless
92translations have been forbidden at `configure' time by using the
93`--disable-nls' switch, all available translations are installed
94together with the package. However, the environment variable `LINGUAS'
95may be set, prior to configuration, to limit the installed set.
96`LINGUAS' should then contain a space separated list of two-letter
97codes, stating which languages are allowed.
98
a15e13ca
CW		 991.3 Using This Package
100======================
d4c0f4e5 101
a15e13ca 102As a user, if your language has been installed for this package, you
d4c0f4e5 103only have to set the `LANG' environment variable to the appropriate
2798d970
CW		 104`LL_CC' combination. If you happen to have the `LC_ALL' or some other
105`LC_xxx' environment variables set, you should unset them before
106setting `LANG', otherwise the setting of `LANG' will not have the
107desired effect. Here `LL' is an ISO 639 two-letter language code, and
108`CC' is an ISO 3166 two-letter country code. For example, let's
d4c0f4e5
CW		 109suppose that you speak German and live in Germany. At the shell
110prompt, merely execute `setenv LANG de_DE' (in `csh'),
111`export LANG; LANG=de_DE' (in `sh') or `export LANG=de_DE' (in `bash').
112This can be done from your `.login' or `.profile' file, once and for
113all.
114
115 You might think that the country code specification is redundant.
116But in fact, some languages have dialects in different countries. For
117example, `de_AT' is used for Austria, and `pt_BR' for Brazil. The
118country code serves to distinguish the dialects.
119
120 The locale naming convention of `LL_CC', with `LL' denoting the
121language and `CC' denoting the country, is the one use on systems based
122on GNU libc. On other systems, some variations of this scheme are
123used, such as `LL' or `LL_CC.ENCODING'. You can get the list of
a15e13ca
CW		 124locales supported by your system for your language by running the
125command `locale -a | grep '^LL''.
d4c0f4e5
CW		 126
127 Not all programs have translations for all languages. By default, an
128English message is shown in place of a nonexistent translation. If you
129understand other languages, you can set up a priority list of languages.
130This is done through a different environment variable, called
131`LANGUAGE'. GNU `gettext' gives preference to `LANGUAGE' over `LANG'
132for the purpose of message handling, but you still need to have `LANG'
133set to the primary language; this is required by other parts of the
134system libraries. For example, some Swedish users who would rather
135read translations in German than English for when Swedish is not
136available, set `LANGUAGE' to `sv:de' while leaving `LANG' to `sv_SE'.
137
a15e13ca
CW		 138 Special advice for Norwegian users: The language code for Norwegian
139bokma*l changed from `no' to `nb' recently (in 2003). During the
140transition period, while some message catalogs for this language are
141installed under `nb' and some older ones under `no', it's recommended
142for Norwegian users to set `LANGUAGE' to `nb:no' so that both newer and
143older translations are used.
144
d4c0f4e5
CW		 145 In the `LANGUAGE' environment variable, but not in the `LANG'
146environment variable, `LL_CC' combinations can be abbreviated as `LL'
147to denote the language's main dialect. For example, `de' is equivalent
148to `de_DE' (German as spoken in Germany), and `pt' to `pt_PT'
149(Portuguese as spoken in Portugal) in this context.
150
a15e13ca
CW		 1511.4 Translating Teams
152=====================
d4c0f4e5 153
a15e13ca 154For the Free Translation Project to be a success, we need interested
d4c0f4e5
CW		 155people who like their own language and write it well, and who are also
156able to synergize with other translators speaking the same language.
157Each translation team has its own mailing list. The up-to-date list of
158teams can be found at the Free Translation Project's homepage,
2798d970 159`http://translationproject.org/', in the "Teams" area.
d4c0f4e5
CW		 160
161 If you'd like to volunteer to _work_ at translating messages, you
162should become a member of the translating team for your own language.
163The subscribing address is _not_ the same as the list itself, it has
164`-request' appended. For example, speakers of Swedish can send a
165message to `sv-request@li.org', having this message body:
166
167 subscribe
168
169 Keep in mind that team members are expected to participate
170_actively_ in translations, or at solving translational difficulties,
171rather than merely lurking around. If your team does not exist yet and
172you want to start one, or if you are unsure about what to do or how to
2798d970
CW		 173get started, please write to `coordinator@translationproject.org' to
174reach the coordinator for all translator teams.
d4c0f4e5
CW		 175
176 The English team is special. It works at improving and uniformizing
2798d970
CW		 177the terminology in use. Proven linguistic skills are praised more than
178programming skills, here.

CW		 1801.5 Available Packages
181======================
d4c0f4e5 182
a15e13ca 183Languages are not equally supported in all packages. The following
2798d970
CW		 184matrix shows the current state of internationalization, as of November
1852007. The matrix shows, in regard of each package, for which languages
d4c0f4e5
CW		 186PO files have been submitted to translation coordination, with a
187translation percentage of at least 50%.

1034 Some counters in the preceding matrix are higher than the number of
1035visible blocks let us expect. This is because a few extra PO files are
1036used for implementing regional variants of languages, or language
1037dialects.
1038
1039 For a PO file in the matrix above to be effective, the package to
1040which it applies should also have been internationalized and
1041distributed as such by its maintainer. There might be an observable
1042lag between the mere existence a PO file and its wide availability in a
1043distribution.

CW		 10501.6 Using `gettext' in new packages
1051===================================
d4c0f4e5 1052
a15e13ca 1053If you are writing a freely available program and want to
d4c0f4e5
CW		 1054internationalize it you are welcome to use GNU `gettext' in your
1055package. Of course you have to respect the GNU Library General Public
1056License which covers the use of the GNU `gettext' library. This means
1057in particular that even non-free programs can use `libintl' as a shared
1058library, whereas only free software can use `libintl' as a static
1059library or use modified versions of `libintl'.
1060
1061 Once the sources are changed appropriately and the setup can handle
a15e13ca 1062the use of `gettext' the only thing missing are the translations. The
d4c0f4e5
CW		 1063Free Translation Project is also available for packages which are not
1064developed inside the GNU project. Therefore the information given above
1065applies also for every other Free Software Project. Contact
2798d970
CW		 1066`coordinator@translationproject.org' to make the `.pot' files available
1067to the translation teams.
