1 TRANSLATION TOOL, V3.0:
4 This transation tool should greatly help Koha translators. It's composed of
7 * xgettext.pl, that extracts the texts in a template, and which is called by
9 * tmpl_process3.tmpl, which can do 3 things:
10 + create a file with all the "translatable strings" in all files in a
11 directory (& its subdirectories)
12 + update an existing translation file.
13 + rebuild translated templates from english & translation file.
15 Call tmpl_process3.pl --help to get a more detailed explanation. Some
16 additional explanations are also available by calling perldoc tmpl_process3.pl.
18 HOW TO TRANSLATE Koha:
21 1. Create your translation file:
23 ./tmpl_process.pl create -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/
24 opac-tmpl/default/en/ -s css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
26 (In the above example, /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default
27 /en/ contains the English templates in the "default" theme, and po/
28 css_opac_fr_FR.po is where you want the generated PO file to appear.)
29 2. Translate your css_opac_fr_FR.po file using a text editor or a PO file
31 3. Create your translated templates:
33 ./tmpl_process.pl install -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/
34 opac-tmpl/default/en/ -o /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/
35 default/fr2/ -s css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
37 (In the above example, /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default
38 /fr2/ is where you want your translated templates to be saved.)
39 4. Copy images/css files in your new directory (as they are NOT moved by
40 tmpl_process3.pl install).
42 If something changes in English version:
44 1. Update your translation file:
46 ./tmpl_process.pl update -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/
47 opac-tmpl/default/en/ -s po/css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
49 2. Translate your new css_opac_fr_FR.po file. Look for strings marked as
50 "fuzzy" and strings that are not translated.
51 3. Create your translated templates:
53 ./tmpl_process.pl install -i /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/
54 opac-tmpl/default/en/ -o /home/paul/koha.dev/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/
55 default/fr2/ -s po/css_opac_fr_FR.po -r
57 4. Copy new images/css files in your new directory if needed

63 and perldoc tmpl_process3.pl and read the BUGS sections.
