4. Translating the xz tool
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The messages from the xz tool have been translated into a few
|
||||
languages. Before starting to translate into a new language, ask
|
||||
the author whether someone else hasn't already started working on it.
|
||||
The translations are handled via the Translation Project. If you
|
||||
wish to help translating xz, please join the Translation Project:
|
||||
|
||||
Test your translation. Testing includes comparing the translated
|
||||
output to the original English version by running the same commands
|
||||
in both your target locale and with LC_ALL=C. Ask someone to
|
||||
proof-read and test the translation.

||||

Testing can be done e.g. by installing xz into a temporary directory:

Below are notes and testing instructions specific to xz

translations.

- Read the TRANSLATORS comments that have been extracted from the

source code and included in xz.pot. If they suggest testing the

translation with some type of command, do it. If testing needs

input files, use e.g. tests/files/good-*.xz.

- When updating the translation, read the fuzzy (modified) strings

carefully, and don't mark them as updated before you actually

have updated them. Reading through the unchanged messages can be

good too; sometimes you may find a better wording for them.

feel free to suggest improvements. Ask if something is unclear.

a good translation is not a quick and trivial thing to do. The

translated xz should look as polished as the English version.
