Off-line Translation
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.
Workflow
- 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 Translation Tool in the sidebar
- Enter the language you want to translate to in Language code and click on Go (You can elect 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.
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.
- 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 to tell us that it's ready.
Once you have a few trouble-free imports using this method we will give you permission to upload translations directly yourself.
