Want to help translate the base GUIs?

https://translations.launchpad.net/tctools



Our translations are hosted at Launchpad, so you will need an account there.

The front page shows all languages with any existing translations, if you'd like to translate to a new language, go here:
https://translations.launchpad.net/tctools/trunk/+pots/tinycore


The translations will be snapped ~once per release to the base-locale.tcz extension. The first release to support base apps' translations is 3.1.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Supported in the rc series since 3.1 rc2:

Quote
* Internationalization (setlocale) added to FLTK GUIs.

However the extension will only be updated for stable releases.

sudo getlocale.sh
no reboot

go to https://translations.launchpad.net/tctools/trunk/+pots/tinycore/it/+translate
there is a link:

Download translation
(that is your translation)

I have downloaded mine as .po
copied to /home/tc
and renamed as tinycore.po

get the extension gettext.tcz
make .mo file
Code: [Select]
msgfmt tinycore.po -o - > /usr/local/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/tinycore.mo
launch Apps and/or Panel

and look at your translations

to correct anything:
geany tinycore.po
save and
Code: [Select]
msgfmt tinycore.po -o - > /usr/local/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/tinycore.morelaunch Apps and/or Panel
loop until satisfied
then upload tinycore.po

donĀ“t forget to save your tinycore.mo
Code: [Select]
echo "usr/local/share/locale/${LANG:0:2}/LC_MESSAGES/tinycore.mo" >> /opt/.filetool.lst

hope that helps (if not, ask again, of course )
ciao

edit:
attached screenshot shows how it looks in my translation
(tested locally, uploaded, downloaded tested, changed and uploaded again)

Altough I've translated all the items I still see some windows still in english:
-appsaudit
-wallpaper
-swap

And what about the shell scripts? Like update apps for example?

Fixed wallpaper and swapfile. Appsaudit would need refactoring, I'll ping Robert on that.

Shell scripts won't get translations.

I am working at usbinstall (UTF-8 in urxvt)
wait awhile, please  :)
edit: script and pot finished, just translating to de

@curaga
which do you prefer?
1: messages of all scripts in tc_scripts.po, or
2: add them to tinycore.po

Let's keep tinycore.pot for the GUIs for now.

I'm against translating shell scripts, because it would clutter them, and add ~36kb of binaries. Besides losing readability, they have to be able to work in all consoles, not just urxvt with a good font - the linux console is restricted to vga fonts, IIRC 256 glyphs.

why that?
We are talking only about cpanel which is launching one console.
Anyway, the work is done:
usbinstall tce-setdrive and tce-update are ready to be translated.

Well, all the calls to *gettext. Triple quoting on the last echo (\\\${TCEDIR}).
Because of all the calls, boot or shutdown scripts are a definitive no. For others, there is the terminal requirement (+ the size increase of gettext and gettext.sh).

Micro Core. Or people who have a preference to work in the console, even when X is available.

I will adjust Appsaudit to support translations.
