= How to Translate Amahi offline =

This method achieves the same goals, in a more "manual" way.

It involves converting a "master" english file (en.yml) to a file in your own language.

Here is the  [http://git.amahi.org/?p=amahi.git;a=blob;f=platform/platform/html/config/locales/en.yml;h=05555fc01e55cf7036b1c9cd69c96d843a55683d;hb=HEAD en.yml file] set of sentences to translate (in a format called yml, ready for rails 2.3).

(that's formatted) the raw file is at [http://git.amahi.org/?p=amahi.git;a=blob_plain;f=platform/platform/html/config/locales/en.yml;hb=HEAD raw en.yml]

Basically what the translation consists of is this:

* duplicate the original file, change the name to something appropriate (e.g. de.yml for german, fr for french)
* change the strings after the colon to the end of the line for the new language.

That's it! you can do it by cut and paste or with git:

{{Code|    
    git clone git://git.amahi.org/amahi.git
    cd amahi/platform/platform/html/config/locales
    cp en.yml yourlocale.yml
    [edit the yourlocale.yml file]
    git commit yourlocale.yml
}}

For brownie points, you can also add those to
{{Code|amahi/platform/platform/html/app/controllers/setup_controller.rb}}

To find the code of your language, please visit [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes the iso codes page]
Columns 6 is the name of the language *in the native language* (we need that) and column 1 is the ISO code

Please put them here in alphabetical order so that the user can more easily find his/hers!

Here is how to [http://forums.amahi.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=188&start=0#p880 submit a patch directly] with git or you can send your locale file by email or post it in the forums or amahi-devel list.
