[xwiki-users] XWiki in Japanese
Hi ... We use XWiki 1.8 (yes, we're updating soon) for OpenSolaris, and we have a large and active community in Japan. In fact, Japan is the #1 non-English language driving traffic to our site. I notice that Japanese is not supported but these 21 languages are: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/I18N So I'd like to find out if anyone is currently working on localizing the XWiki resources file into Japanese. Would I look for that info here? http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XE/XWikiCoreResources Thanks, Jim
Hello from Tokyo. As far as I know, XWiki is not so popular in Japan and there is little information written in Japanese about XWiki on the Internet. I could find something if someone were working on Japanese localization. Thanks, ebi 2009/12/3 Jim Grisanzio <[email protected]>:

Right, I haven't seen anyone providing some translation for Japanese. If you'd like to start adding translations for that language please follow the instructions at http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/L10N/AddALanguage

Yes that's the right place. Note: I've noticed some groovy code is broken on l10n right now. Thomas, do you think you could have a look? Thanks -Vincent

It will be. :)

I've been asking around and realize that now. So we have to change that situation, right? For the benefit of the others on this list, the language barriers in Japan are pretty significant, so doing business here and building communities here is challenging using English only. A significant amount of content needs to be localized to really make progress here. So, hopefully, we can get XWiki talking ja soon. :) Jim

Ok, cool. Thanks for the confirmation. I am going to suggest to the OpenSolaris community in Tokyo that they get directly involved right here in the XWiki community and get the resources file translated. This way, when we update our site it will support ja. We have a lot of Japanese content out there, and I need it properly supported in XWiki (not just sitting in English pages, in other words). Our community has already contributed substantial localized content to OpenSolaris, so hopefully they'll jump in and contribute here as well. I'll let you know. :) Jim

That's great. On our side, we'll upgrade l10n.xwiki.org to a more recent version (it's on XE 1.6.x now) and fix the error there's now to make it nicer and more appealing. Thanks -Vincent
Jim, I totally agree with you. My XWiki system that I'm currenty working on will go live early next year and I thought I had to localize it to Japanese myself. Please feel free to contact me if there is anything that I can help. Thanks, ebi 2009/12/3 Jim Grisanzio <[email protected]>:

yah, we were going to do the same thing but then we'd have to maintain a fork. And that just gets messy. :) Better to get the foundational application updated so we all work from a common base.
Please feel free to contact me if there is anything that I can help.
Yep. I will certainly do so. Thank you. I already have some Japanese guys interested on my end. Jim

Done thanks to Thomas and Jean-Vincent. Much nicer now :) Thanks -Vincent

Ok, thanks. I'll send some mail to our g11n-ja lists tomorrow and see what they say.
fyi: I'm trying to start a little discussion in the OpenSolaris Community: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/i18n-discuss/2009-December/002957.html http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=119224&tstart=0 I sent a similar note to several other lists as well. Hope this helps. :) Jim
