AUR Translation
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
This document describes how to create and maintain AUR translations.
|
|
It was derived from http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Translation
|
|
|
|
Creating an AUR translation requires python and git to be installed.
|
|
|
|
Translation files should be gzipped to protect from possible encoding
|
|
errors when submitting.
|
|
|
|
Patches should be sent to the aur-dev mailing list at:
|
|
aur-dev@archlinux.org
|
|
|
|
|
|
Creating a New Translation
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Before beginning, please make sure that git and python are installed.
|
|
Also, please do not translate if you are unwilling to maintain or find
|
|
someone to maintain the translation. This is due to the fact that the
|
|
AUR is a rapidly evolving project and there are constantly new strings
|
|
to be translated. If the translations get too out of sync with the
|
|
released versions, there will be too many untranslated strings for the
|
|
translation to be usable, and it may have to be disabled.
|
|
|
|
1. Check out the AUR source using git.
|
|
|
|
$ git clone git://projects.archlinux.org/aur.git aur-git
|
|
|
|
2. Go into the AUR source and run translation_tool.
|
|
translation_tool will interactively guide you through the translation
|
|
process, simply answer its questions and prompts. If you wish to stop
|
|
at some point during the translation, you may kill translation_tool
|
|
using Ctrl+C. If you later wish to continue the translation, simply
|
|
run translation_tool again, and it will continue from where you left off.
|
|
|
|
$ cd aur-git
|
|
$ git checkout master
|
|
$ git pull
|
|
$ cd web/lang
|
|
$ ./translation_tool
|
|
|
|
3. To commit your patch to your branch:
|
|
|
|
$ git add <all edited files>
|
|
$ git commit -s
|
|
|
|
Write your commit message above the sign off and separate them by a
|
|
blank line.
|
|
|
|
4. Create a git formatted patch.
|
|
|
|
$ git format-patch origin/master
|
|
|
|
5. Send the gzipped patch to the aur-dev mailing list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Updating an Existing Translation
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Update your copy of the AUR code.
|
|
|
|
$ cd aur-git
|
|
$ git pull
|
|
|
|
2. Run translation_tool, which will only prompts for strings that have
|
|
changed or been added since the last translation.
|
|
|
|
$ cd web/lang
|
|
$ ./translation_tool
|
|
|
|
3. To commit your patch to your branch:
|
|
|
|
$ git add <all edited files>
|
|
$ git commit -s
|
|
|
|
4. Create a git formatted patch.
|
|
|
|
$ git format-patch origin/master
|
|
|
|
5. Send the gzipped patch to the aur-dev mailing list.
