[xwiki-users] XWiki Translation Tool: looking for volunteers
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 You will need to create an account on this wiki (the xwiki.org does not yet work, but we plan to connect it to xwiki.org using the new Open ID implementation done in the Summer of Code). The first thing that we can start with is working on the empty translations. For example here are the pages to modify the empty translations for a few languages German: http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XE/XWikiCoreResources?action=viewempty&... French: http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XE/XWikiCoreResources?action=viewempty&... Spanish: German: http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XE/XWikiCoreResources?action=viewempty&... Polish: German: http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XE/XWikiCoreResources?action=viewempty&... You can view the full list at German: http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XE/XWikiCoreResources and click on "View Empty" next to your favorite language. Currently there is no locking mecanism, so I hope we won't have conflicts will working on this. The good thing is that of course everything is kept in wiki style so with versioning. Let us know who can test drive the application. Make sure you are putting in real translations since we want to use the result for real ! Once we start getting some updates I'll document the review process so that we can also start doing that. For reviews we will 'elect' reviewers that will have the right to review. If you are volunteer for review, please tell us by responding to this email. Thanks Ludovic -- Ludovic Dubost Blog: http://blog.ludovic.org/ XWiki: http://www.xwiki.com Skype: ldubost GTalk: ldubost
Hello, Just tried to translate things in french : the translation tool is really nice. Great job ! A comment : It would be nice to have a search to quickly find a key or a translation. I'm volunteer for reviewing French translations. I'm also interested in adding applications (but I need info about what is an application : the calendar we currently have in XE is an application ? the Tags page should be considered as an application ?) Thanks, Thomas Eveilleau Ludovic Dubost a écrit :

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
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&la... 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
Hi Clemens, the german translations seems outdated but they aren't. My bad, I've commited a version of them that has been updated after http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2617 I plan to commit this patch along with the corresponding new english translations during 1.8 (dec/jan).

Don't commit in svn.. otherwise we won't be able to merge this with the work on L10N Ludovic Jean-Vincent Drean wrote:

Hi, Great.. thanks for starting working with the tool.. It's great to see that we already have translations coming in. I've added a what's new of all the contributions to the translations on the home page: http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/L10N/ Clemens Robbenhaar wrote:

I fixed the bug..

Now a little plea: is it possibe to search for translation keys, or at least sort then alphabetically?
Here is a search page and I've added a panel http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/L10N/WebSearch?text=first&x=0&y=0
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.

Currently the translation app is not in SVN. It's only as a wiki app on http://l10n.xwiki.org However I've made it quite 'generic'. It can work on a local wiki. You can export the code from here http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Admin/Export We will setup a JIRA project to submit patches. If you create new pages you are welcome to create them on l10n.xwiki.org The only thing important is not to break the tool for current users. Ludovic
