Hi all,
We have setup the new translation tool on a production
server and we are
now looking for volunteers to give it a test drive and start updating
the translations of the XWiki Core.
The new tool is at
http://l10n.xwiki.org
This looks nice!
I have one observation and one plea.
The observation: at least in the german translations there are a couple
of keys which do not exist in the main ApplicationResources.properties
(and are most probably unused).
Currently I can see one example just in the first page:
http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XE/XWikiCoreResources?action=viewall&a…
Here a translation is listed for the key "status.currentpool"
which is not in the main ApplicationResources.properties, but only in the
ApplicationResources_de.properties.
Somewhat confusingly the tool lists the english translation for the
*previous* key instead (i.e. here "No documents found in the selected archive",
which is the translation for the key "nodocstoimport").
This was a little confusing to me until I figured out what was
happening.
Maybe these unused keys shopuld be cleaned up? Is there any way
contributors could help, or just a matter of the right script to remove
the unused translation automatically?
Now a little plea: is it possibe to search for translation keys,
or at least sort then alphabetically?
I see one translation for the key "rightsmanager.addnewgroup",
for which the current German version seems to be wrong (it translates to
"add all users to this group" instead of "add new group"). Currently
I have to page through all the pages and search the tranlation manually.
More precise plea: if I would plan to implement something like that,
would there be any interest in it, and are there any pointers where to
start, and to where submit patches?
Cheers,
Clemens
