Hello,
I have a few questions about how to contribute to the dutch
application_resource file.
Thanks for your time and your interest in XWiki.
Yesterday I have added some translations to the dutch
translation of the
XE resources
at the I10n.wiki.org site. Is there any documentation about this site?
Alas, not at this time.
I
am unsure about
what some functions do and the effects they may have on others. For
instance the link
'Import/reimport default language file', Admin actions like 'Import' and
'Prepare'.
These actions are now performed automatically every night, normally there is
no need for you to use them.
Also
I noticed that when I get the dutch translation as a application
resource file, it only has
the resources filled in if a dutch translation exists. This seems
logical, but as long as not
all strings have a dutch translation, my xwiki contains lots of empty
strings.
Normally the wiki uses the original english string when no translation is
available. I'm not sure why you're getting this behavior.
Is there a
way to build a resource file with dutch translations where available,
and the default
english strings when not? Another thing that is not clear to me is the
functionality around
reviewing and validation. If I find a translation that is incorrect of I
thing there is a better
one, can I just change it, or should I somehow make a review request to
somebody
authorized to accept or reject the change?
There is no formal review / validation process right now. For instance, in
the case of the French translation I add translations to empty strings and I
then proceed to reviewing my spelling for mistakes and validate myself.
Since we don't have a dutch speaker besides you I think you can go ahead and
review your own translations, at least until we grow our community in the
Netherlands ;-)
Is there any way to know who
is contributing
to the same translation in order to achieve some common ideas about how
to translate
xwiki terms?
Not really. That would be a nice improvement to add to the tool though. I'll
talk to the guy who built it in order to see whether that could be achieved.
Thanks,
Henk
Thanks to you,
Guillaume
