!!DESCRIPTION |
| |
|
20 |
|
| |
|
21 |
|
| |
|
22 |
This program helps make and manage translations of debconf |
| |
|
23 |
templates. There are basically three situations in which |
| |
|
24 |
this program might be called: |
| |
|
25 |
|
| |
|
26 |
|
| |
|
27 |
A translation is just being started. |
| |
|
28 |
|
| |
|
29 |
|
| |
|
30 |
You want to provide the translator with a file they can work |
| |
|
31 |
on that has the English fields from your templates file, |
| |
|
32 |
plus blank Field-ll fields for the traget language that they |
| |
|
33 |
can fill in. |
| |
|
34 |
|
| |
|
35 |
|
| |
|
36 |
To do this, run the program with first parameter being the |
| |
|
37 |
code for the language that is being translated to, and the |
| |
|
38 |
second parameter being the filename of the English templates |
| |
|
39 |
file. |
| |
|
40 |
|
| |
|
41 |
|
| |
|
42 |
A translation is well under way. |
| |
|
43 |
|
| |
|
44 |
|
| |
|
45 |
You have changed some English text, or added more items to |
| |
|
46 |
your templates file, and you want to send the translators a |
| |
|
47 |
file with the English text plus their current translations |
| |
|
48 |
(or you are the translator, and you want to generate such a |
| |
|
49 |
file for your own use). |
| |
|
50 |
|
| |
|
51 |
|
| |
|
52 |
To accomplish this, run the program with the first parameter |
| |
|
53 |
being the the code for the language that is being translated |
| |
|
54 |
to, the second parameter being the filename of the master |
| |
|
55 |
English templates file, and the third parameter being the |
| |
|
56 |
filename of the current translated file. |
| |
|
57 |
|
| |
|
58 |
|
| |
|
59 |
When run this way, the program is smart enough to notice |
| |
|
60 |
fuzzy translations. For example a fuzzy Description will be |
| |
|
61 |
output as Description- |
| |
|
62 |
|
| |
|
63 |
|
| |
|
64 |
Checking the status of a translation |
| |
|
65 |
|
| |
|
66 |
|
| |
|
67 |
To check the status of a translation, use the --status flag, |
| |
|
68 |
and pass the english template file as the first parameter, |
| |
|
69 |
and all the other translated templates after that. It will |
| |
|
70 |
output statistics for each of them. For |
| |
|
71 |
example: |
| |
|
72 |
|
| |
|
73 |
|
| |
|
74 |
debconf-getlang --stats debian/templates debian/templates.* |
| |
|
75 |
!!NOTE |
| |
|
76 |
|
| |
|
77 |
|
| |
|
78 |
Note that the text in the generated templates may be |
| |
|
79 |
word-wrapped by debconf. |
