<h1>TRANSLATION TOOL, V3.0:
<br>======================</h1>
<p>
This transation tool should greatly help Koha translators.
It's composed of 2&nbsp;scripts
(with a number of associated perl module files):
<ol>
<li>xgettext.pl, that extracts the texts in a template,
and which is called by the script; and
<li>tmpl_process3.tmpl, which can do 3 things:
<ol type=a>
<li>create a file with all the "translatable strings" in all files in a directory (& its subdirectories),
<li>update an existing translation file, and
<li>rebuild translated templates from English & translation file.
</ul>
</ul>
<p>
Call tmpl_process3.pl --help to get a more detailed explanation.
Some additional explanations are also available by calling
perldoc tmpl_process3.pl.
<h2>HOW TO TRANSLATE Koha:
<br>=====================</h2>
<ol>
<li>Create your translation file
(assuming your current directory is this directory, i.e., misc/translator):
<blockquote>
./tmpl_process3.pl create -i ../../koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/ -s po/css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
</blockquote>
<p>(In the above example,
../../koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/
contains the English templates in the "default" theme,
and po/css_opac_fr_FR.po is where you want the generated PO file to appear.
The use of relative paths for the English templates is recommended;
it makes the resulting PO files slightly shorter
and more usable in a team environment.
Absolute paths are certainly fine,
and might be better if there is only one translator for your language.)
<li>Translate your css_opac_fr_FR.po file
using a text editor or a PO file translation tool.
<li>Create your translated templates:
<blockquote>
./tmpl_process3.pl install -i ../../koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/ -o /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/fr2/ -s po/css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
</blockquote>
<p>
(In the above example,
/home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/fr2/
is where you want your translated templates to be saved.)
<li>Copy images/css files in your new directory (as they are NOT moved by tmpl_process3.pl install).
</ol>
<p>
If something changes in the English version:
<ol>
<li>Update your translation file:
<blockquote>
./tmpl_process3.pl update -i ../../koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/ -s po/css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
</blockquote>
<li>Translate your newly updated css_opac_fr_FR.po file.
Look for strings marked as "fuzzy" and strings that are not translated.
<li>Create your translated templates:
<blockquote>
./tmpl_process3.pl install -i ../../koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/ -o /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/fr2/ -s po/css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
</blockquote>
<li>Copy new images/css files in your new directory if needed
</ol>
