Posted by Alaa on خمي, 03/06/2004 - 20:59 :: Website

ok folks we started the Drupal arabization project at arabeyes

this is mainly an interface translation project, but I'm also working on a bidi filter for bi lingual content (to replace the current dirty bidi in the theme hack).

please join us so we can get this translated ASAP, the number of strings isn't big at all.

procedure for translation
Alaa's avatar
Posted by  Alaa on جمع, 04/06/2004 - 13:34.

when you want to start translating contact me by posting a reply here or sending an email to alaa@eglug.org so I can assign you a file or a set of files.

the po files where generated from a master monolithic pot file. there are many repeated strings we don't want to translate these strings multiple times.

each string has a comment stating the source code files the string belongs to, don't translate the string unless the file you're editing coresponds to the first filename in the list of files comment.

if you think you have an unobvious but very good translation for a repeated string by all means translated, this rule is to minimize the work you have to do not to limit you in anyway.

at the end, I will be responsible for rebuilding a translated monolithic file and dealing with any conflicts.

cheers, Alaa

cvs guidelines

Posted by  Alaa on ربع, 09/06/2004 - 03:55.

ya gama3a the folks at Arabeyes have complained about our cvs commit behavior, they say we should follow the guidelines mentioned in there CVS HowTo Commit Logs section and in there Translation Guide Commit Checklist Section

which simply states that the commit log must include the result of the command 

$ msgfmt --statistics file.po

خدوا بالكوا من هنا و رايح.

و اللى عندوا أى أسئلة يروح #arabeyes

plural forms header
Alaa's avatar
Posted by  Alaa on جمع, 11/06/2004 - 16:50.

ok folks I figured out the plural forms thing.

in gettext you can specify how many plural forms exist in your language, in arabic we have three (مفرد، مثنى، جمع) you need to specify that in the po file headers.

if you don't the file is considered broken.

if you're using kbabel go to settings -> configure kbabel

and make Number of singluar/plural forms equal 3

then in the GNU plural form header add 

nplurals=3; plural=n==1 ? 0 : n==2 ? 1 : 2;

if you're not using kbabel you can edit the header manualy, open the po file in a text editor, find the plural form line and change it to look like this 

"Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; plural=n==1 ? 0 : n==2 ? 1 : 2;\n"

21 new files
Alaa's avatar
Posted by  Alaa on خمي, 24/06/2004 - 12:30.

since we translated over 95% of the core drupal it is time to start working on the contributed modules, we are using many of them in this site.

I just added 21 new files so thats lots of work and we need many volunteers.

please translators and new volunteers contact me so I can assign you files to work on.

cheers,
Alaa
