Don't be disappointed if something will not work with pt_BR
Then this will be my fault.
Be patient with me, I am a slow learner.

Muchas gracias Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Yeah, I forgot this isn't meant to work with other languages yet Laughing but despite I still saw the GUI in English, the locale for pt_BR was generated the same. I also noticed that when I was asked to select a locale it appeared as 'pt', not pt_BR. I can still test that part, and then Italian and that's all my knowledge. I'm glad to help wherever I can.

technosaurus wrote:
using L18L's naming method, you can quickly autogenerate a template:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
for x in $@ ; do
while read -d$ A || [ "$A" ]; do
case "$A" in
*{_M_*)B=_M${A##*_M};B=${B%%\}*}\";echo ${B//:-/=\"};;
esac
done < $x >$x.i18n
done

usage:
mki18n list of scripts

hmm, even though I used a bashism (read -d) it generates the entire template in less time than gettext takes to do a single translation

... it may be beneficial to change >$x.i18n to |sort -u >$x.i18n if you are planning to use a VAR multiple times


Technosaurus,
thank you, much appreciated Very Happy

So this does confirm that we do not need to store English language files? They can be autogenerated very fast!

Having tried to really understand your mki18n I had to run it. Smile
and "hacked" this variant:
Quote:
#!/bin/bash
[ -f all_i18n ] && rm all_i18n # all in one
for x in $@ ; do
while read -d$ A || [ "$A" ]; do
case "$A" in
*{_M_*) B=_M${A##*_M};B=${B%%\}*}\";echo ${x}:${B//:-/=\"};;
esac
done < $x |sort -u >$x.i18n >>all_i18n
done

# time mki18n askpass alsawizard

real 0m0.213s
user 0m0.076s
sys 0m0.024s
#

Stuff for thoughts...

Naming method
(for the record) _M_
short, unique, restricted to letters and underscore, easy to grep

Location of language files
Maybe a directory of their own is better?
M under /usr/share/locale/<language>
LANGPATH would become 2 bytes longer
But anything inside is _M_ method

I am thinking that "all in one" can be helpful for our PuppyMaster.
GUI: search a word and get all phrases containing this word
and maybe use an existing phrase in a new script...
...if so then 1 translation less

Or using just one language file for all the basic Puppy scripts...

The locale is really only needed when using date, time, currency..
Not for "just language"

I know that you know it (reminding your example of de_JA Very Happy )

Yes, this is Cutting Edge
I am working on pt_BR...or generally enabling "regional variants"

I will make versions (not soon, maybe tomorrow) and post on page 1 (that is the way one should do it from beginning Embarassed )

Thank you and good night (it is late here in Europe now)

I am posting from my Droid so the following syntax will be "off"

[ -f /.../$LANG/app ] && LOCALES=/.../$LANG/app ¦¦ [ -f /.../${LANG%%_*} ] && LOCALES=/.../${LANG%%_*}
. $LOCALES

Edit: haven't tested above because I was doing this:

Code:
curl -A firefox \
  -F "file=@trans.txt;type=text/plain" \
  -F "sl=en" \
  -F "tl=es" \
  http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_f | while read A || [ "$A" ]; do

      "<meta"*)continue;;
      *"<pre>"*)echo ${A##*"<pre>"};;
      *"</pre>"*)echo ${A%%"</pre>"*};;
      *)echo $A;;
    esac
  done


replace trans.txt with your english file and tl=es with tl=??

Seen this before your "edit"

That is: your one-liner can replace my two-lines code for enabling "regional variants" of language.
And LOCALES replaces LANGPATH.

edited later
and LOCALES is avoiding need of M/ under LOCALE Smile

Very nice. Thank you

Ok, I've merged them together to get autotranslated locale files but all my trial and error caused me to exceed the max queries temporarily. Can someone try this on a _M_ formatted script:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
FROM=/C/
[ ! -d /usr/share/locales/C/ ] && mkdir /usr/share/locales/C/
for x in $@ ; do
   TEMPLATE=/usr/share/locales/C/${x##*/}
   while read -d$ A || [ "$A" ]; do
      case "$A" in
         *{_M_*)B=_M${A##*_M};B=${B%%\}*};echo ${B//:-/=};;
      esac
   done < $x >$TEMPLATE

for x in es yi cy sq ar hy az eu be bn bg ca zh-CN zh-TW hr cs da nl en et tl fi fr gl ka de el gu ht iw hi hu is id ga it ja kn ko la lv lt mk ms mt no fa pl pt ro ru sr sk sl es sw sv ta te th tr uk ur vi cy yi ; do
TO=/${x//-/_}/
[ ! -d ${TEMPLATE%%/C/*}/${x//-/_} ] && mkdir ${TEMPLATE%%/C/*}/${x//-/_}
curl -A firefox \
   -F "file=@$TEMPLATE;type=text/plain" \
   -F "sl=en" \
   -F "tl=$x" \
   http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_f | \
   while read A || [ "$A" ]; do
      case $A in
         "<meta"*)A="";;
         *"<pre>"*)A=${A##*"<pre>"};;
         *"</pre>"*)A=${A%%"</pre>"*};;
      esac
      [ "$A" ] && echo ${A// = /=\"}\"
   done > ${TEMPLATE//$FROM/$TO}
done
rm $TEMPLATE
done


Note: may need to have a .txt extension on the submitted file

This is from Google Translate, isn't it? Laughing Well, here's what the lines are supposed to be in Spanish:

Code:

_M_1="Esta aplicación quiere ejecutar:"
_M_2="Requiere contraseña de administrador:"
_M_3="Por favor introduzca la contraseña de administrador requerida para ejecutar esta aplicación:"
_M_4="Escribir contraseña de administrador requerida para ejecutar esta aplicación:"
_M_5="... Falló"


The 'Tipo' comes from 'Type', I think, which in that line should be 'escribir'. We don't have a special word for 'to write by keyboard' in Spanish, although there are heretic people who translate it as 'tipear'. Rolling Eyes

Noone expects Google to get all the translating 100%, but at least its better than 0%.
Note that I use the Google translate site directly masked as FireFox with curl (wget cannot do right metadata for files), since the translate api is deprecated... So as long as the site itself is fairly stable, it should continue to work.

Sorry, I didn't read the full posts Wink You're right, the translations may not be the most accurate, but they're understandable. As you said, it's better than 0%. You should make a PET Very Happy

Now if I can just figure out how to connect piece G to happy.

I havent ironed out or commented on possible oopses or known issues ... For instance it won't work on translation variables that contain variables due to using $ as a separator... ${_M_1:-$hello world} would break the translation
... Still needs a bit of testing and documentation before people go installing it Willy nilly from a pet without looking at the code.

@ferro10n,
please forget what I have announced about another version (enabling pt_BR) for now. There is enough other stuff to be done before next version.

Known issue:
- wrong placement in variable name
_M_4 Tipo="admin contraseña necesaria para ejecutar esta aplicación:"

- other languages:
--Greek
_M_5 =... ÁðÝôõ÷å
(<- cannot make a red blank)
Should be
_M_5 =... απέτυχε
It is not just greek, also for example
-- Arabic
áÔä _M_5 =..."

- variable in message
I have tried finding a way to exclude something from translation.
(A decade ago I have prevented automated translation in a webpage using <q>term without translation</q>)

Now an example using 2 variables:
http://translate.google.com/#auto|es|Hello%20\%24{myOS}\%20world!%20\%24{myVersion}\%20rocks
Note, however that you cannot trust uppercase/lowercase

We always have the fallback solution to NOT let translate messages containing variables.

- quotes and double quotes have to be replaced in original script
This makes me think about making life easier for developer in first step of internationalization:
Mark messages by just _M_
Programm should add the unique ID numbers too
