Off-line Translation/it

It is assumed that if you intend translating pages off-line you have some experience with Lokalize or a similar tool, therefore this page only addresses the on-line part of the process, the part that is carried out within UserBase.

Modalità di lavoro

• Request addition to the Translator group:
  • Click on Get a Translator Account in the sidebar
  • Click on the Edit tab and enter your username, the language you want to translate for and if you intend to translate off-line
  • Use Save page to save the information

• When your user has been added to the group (you should get an e-mail notification), click on Start Translating in the sidebar

• Enter the language you want to translate to in Language code and click on Go (You can select to suppress pages that are 100% complete.)

• Choose your page to work on, from the list presented - this will take you to the tool where you choose on-line or off-line translation.

• In order to reduce the risk of edit conflicts, upload your work frequently. You can continue to work on other sections from your downloaded file - import will know which sections are new.

Export the page

• The top combi-box I want to... should be set to Export translation in Gettext format.

• Check that the page-name and language are correctly set.

• Go completes the export.

Import the new translation

Initially you are requested to send the translated file to us. Here is the procedure:

• Use the Upload file link in the sidebar to import your file.

• Place a message on New Imports giving the filename of the upload.

Once you have a few trouble-free imports using this method we will give you permission to upload translations directly yourself.
