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 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 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:
| bash 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
| bash code |
|---|
amahi/platform/platform/html/app/controllers/setup_controller.rb
|
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
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.
