wanna join the translation effort? good the more people the more fun and the less time it takes.

you will need to

send a bug report in the arabeyes bugzilla, under the admin section asking for a CVS account to help in translating drupal, make it clear what your name is, what your arabeyes website account is and when did you get or apply for an arabeyes account

contact me to assign you a file to start working on

procedure for translation

Alaa - 04/06/2004 - 12:34pm

when you want to start translating contact me by posting a reply here or sending an email to alaa@eglug.org so I can assign you a file or a set of files.

the po files where generated from a master monolithic pot file. there are many repeated strings we don't want to translate these strings multiple times.

each string has a comment stating the source code files the string belongs to, don't translate the string unless the file you're editing coresponds to the first filename in the list of files comment.

if you think you have an unobvious but very good translation for a repeated string by all means translated, this rule is to minimize the work you have to do not to limit you in anyway.

at the end, I will be responsible for rebuilding a translated monolithic file and dealing with any conflicts.

cheers, Alaa

plural forms header

Alaa - 11/06/2004 - 3:50pm

ok folks I figured out the plural forms thing.

in gettext you can specify how many plural forms exist in your language, in arabic we have three (مفرد، مثنى، جمع) you need to specify that in the po file headers.

if you don't the file is considered broken.

if you're using kbabel go to settings -> configure kbabel

and make Number of singluar/plural forms equal 3

then in the GNU plural form header add nplurals=3; plural=n==1 ? 0 : n==2 ? 1 : 2;

if you're not using kbabel you can edit the header manualy, open the po file in a text editor, find the plural form line and change it to look like this "Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; plural=n==1 ? 0 : n==2 ? 1 : 2;\n"

cheers, Alaa
