Revision as of 01:46, 28 October 2009
We plan to support localization in the upcoming transition to rails 2.3, which has localization support included.
For the time being, here is the en-US.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 raw en.yml
Basically what the translation consists of is this
- duplicate an 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:
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
To find the code of your language, please visit 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
For brownie points, you can also add those to amahi/platform/platform/html/app/controllers/setup_controller.rb
Please put them here in alphabetical order so that the user can more easily find his/hers!
Here is how to 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.
Here is the original localization thread in the forums.
