Subject description: a humble start...		  
Dear Puppy friends,

After a long and luxurious holiday in Lubuntu, I'm back;) (for a while Laughing )

This is a very humble start to create a Dutch langpack.
But I think it is already very useful for daily use.

The pet can be downloaded from:

http://rapidshare.com/files/2651700205/langpack_nl-20130412.pet

The translation work has been done from Pemasu's raring, as that is the most recent woof-based puppy at the moment.

Known problems (for which I've no simple solution):

* Seamonkey doesn't speak Dutch after the .pet installation (despite the example I saw and followed in L18L's excellent German langpack.)

*Abiword not translatable so far

*So far Gparted, Screeny, Glipper and Parcellite refuse to be translated.

As said, it's just a beginning...but we'll get there Cool

There's a lot of vacant places in the Dutch Translation Team. Anyone interested to join is most welcome.

Special thanks to L18L, rodin.s, ASRI éducation, esmourguit and shinobar for the incredible amount of help and patience with my non-technical mind.

abiword-2.8.6/README wrote:
po
Localized strings for each locale we support, in PO format, as well
as scripts for conversion to and from Abi's native .strings files,
which are the files actually used directly by the program(s). PO
files are maintained as a convenience for translators, many of whom
are already accustomed to working with them (as opposed to .strings).

No idea how to convert to Abi's native .strings files, thus I have extracted them from source for you.

Test it please, it is version 2.8
You can put it into your langpack-template

Have fun Very Happy

Thanks a lot, L18L!

I installed the abiword.nl you posted.

No luck! I think this raring version of Abiword (2.9.2) is unstable. It's a development release.
(e.g. if I click 'preferences' in the 'edit' menu, Abiword crashes.)

Maybe I should start using another puppy for this translation work, as Raring is maybe a bit too avant garde. (although very stable already)

From your screenshot I see an old little problem resurfacing, which I thought was solved Laughing



On my monitor it looks like this:



Give me a shorter Dutch word for 'installeren' Laughing

I will soon upload a new langpack. In the first one all the English doc files slipped in. Embarassed

Looking forward to your Momanager for dummies..
My copy of momanager now refuses to make a .mo from a .po.

Think I'll start all over, with a fresh Puppy and more beer Laughing

Thanks again.

That is the doc_strings.nl Rolling Eyes
if you click that then momanager thinks (not really) the translation is done. I do not use these, see langpack_de....

Oh no. What I will do next is a QuickLanguageSwitcher Laughing

You mean errors are detected and displayed?

A good idea
and don't forget to
move langpack-template to /mnt/home
and symlink back to it
Code:
ln -s /mnt/home/langpack-template /usr/share/doc/langpack-template

apparently i need to recompile the whole ubuntu python PATH satans' work . But that is "typical Puppy" maybe in regards to python.

Code:
while read line; do
 [ "$line" ] || continue
 [ "`echo "$line" | grep -E '^<|^/'`" ] && continue
 MSG=`echo "$line" | awk -F '"' '{print $2}'`
 NEW="msgstr \"$MSG\""
 echo "
 $NEW
 " >>abiword_nl_NL.msgstr.txt
 done<nl-NL.strings

creates something like
Code:
msgstr "Info over %s"


msgstr "Auteur:"


msgstr "Omschrijving:"


msgstr "Titel:"

but needs the original LANG file to merge the
msgid
's
into it in the right places.

Bert 1900+ Lines .. hopefully not for nothing .
Probably also send it to http://www.abisource.com/contribute/translate/

Good job , Bert ,btw !

http://www.abisource.com/dev/strings/dev/nl-NL.po
Save as ,
Code:
msgfmt -o abiword_nl-NL.mo nl-NL.po

and it is a .mo

Hope you take it easy, Bert !

PostPosted: Sat 13 Apr 2013, 04:02    Post subject: abiword.mo is useless  
abiword.mo is useless

abiword.po is "just for translating"

The procedure "HOWTO convert abiword.po to strings and templates" is unknown to me.
That's the problem.

That's why I don't really like abiword.

Note,
similiar problem is with CUPS:
there are not used cups.po files.

abiword and CUPS are using PO files just "because of convenience for translators".

Karl,
if you install abiword_nl (8 posts up) you can launch Dutch abiword:
LANG=nl_NL abiword
and see it is Dutch without abiword.mo

[edit] idea HOWTO:
cp Bert's PO file into source and
Code:
make
should do it Idea

Trying to reproduce your troubles (in puppy precise5.5, langpack_nl installed)

Arrow screeny: no problem, I could translate Help to Hulp using momanager.

Arrow gparted: version 0.11 downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted/gparted-0.11.0/gparted-0.11.0.tar.bz2/download?use_mirror=heanet&r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fgparted%2Ffiles%2Fgparted%2Fgparted-0.11.0%2F&use_mirror=heanet

directory po contains translations for
# ls *.po | wc -w
57
#
languages which are:
# ls *.po | cut -d"." -f1 | tr '\n' ' '
ar bg br ca ca@valencia cs da de dz el en_CA en_GB eo es et eu fa fi fr gl gu he hu id is it ja kk ko lt lv mk
nb ne nl oc pa pl pt_BR pt ro ru rw si sk sl sr@latin sr sv te th tr uk vi zh_CN zh_HK zh_TW #
#

"POT-Creation-Date: 2011-02-19 18:02+0000\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2011-02-19 22:09+0100\n"
"Last-Translator: Hannie Dumoleyn <hannie@ubuntu-nl.org>\n"
"Language-Team: Dutch <vertaling@vrijschrift.org>\n"

Thus this appears to be good for me.
No need to edit
Just
Code:
msgfmt nl.po -o /usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/gparted.mo


Bert,
I am describing this step by step not for you only.
Others may also benefit from this.
If you want just the gparted.mo then please say "woof" and I send you the file.

Arrow glipper: You might need a version of glipper compiled --enable-nls (it is runnuning Dutch on my system)

Arrow parcellite: never seen that Rolling Eyes

but yes we'll get there Cool ...

Hmmm... Bert's nl-NL.strings file seems to work for me :

( Puppy-430, abiword-2.6.3 , invoked as LANG=nl_NL abiword -- and truely abiword.mo seems to be ignored or searched for in wrong location )

LABEL="${line#* }"
MSGID=`grep -A3 -w "$LABEL" nl-NL.po | grep '^msgid' | grep -o '".*"'`

echo "${LABEL}=$MSGID" >>en_english.strings
echo "${LABEL}=$MSGSTR" >>nl_NL.strings
done<nl-NL.po

That creates almost half of the .strings file out of .po . Missing some
MESSAGESTRINGS ie :
Quote:
DLG_MetaData_Author_LBL=
DLG_Annotation_Author_LBL=
DLG_PLUGIN_MANAGER_AUTHOR="Auteur:"

which should be as the 3rd one .
Also special chars into html ie &=&amp;
Quote:
DLG_Options_Label_AutoSaveInterval="&Interval:"

DLG_Options_Label_AutoSaveInterval="&amp;Interval:"

and xml header and footer ie
Quote:
/>

<Strings class="AP"

Thank you very much Karl and L18L for your continuing support!

I'm a little late with this reply due to real life commitments.
I've also been chasing a mysterious hardware problem. After the (one year old) ssd drive more or less Question died, there have been strange and non-logical errors when running from usb

I think that partly explains my problems with momanager, poedit and geany.

Last night I installed Precise Puppy 5.5 to usb and it started to become unstable after 10 minutes.
Rebooting and a total freeze after 5 minutes.

I switched to an older pc and now precise runs ok.
BUT, still unable to get momanager to translate simple little proggies like e.g. GdMap. Momanager moves it happily to the left column, just like e.g. Glipper, but no Dutch appears in GdMap.

Everything seems okay while translating, both from Geany and Poedit. Saving with no error messages at all. A .mo is created, but non-functional...


Oh, I am NOT the dutch Abiword translator! Just like you did Karl, I copied the nl-NL.po from the Abi-site. But knowing next-to-nothing about commands, I pasted it in Poedit.*) I think the way Poedit works is that your name is automatically added as the translator.. Confused

Abiword...Sigh.;It used to be so simple to 'translate'. I've done it many times for my own use with the string-files taken out of shinobar's Quickset, just dropping it in /usr/share/abiword/strings+templates. That does no longer work..

I tried Karl's proposition with
Code:
msgfmt -o abiword_nl-NL.mo nl-NL.po


but indeed the .mo produced did nothing.



L18L, parcellite is the default clipboard utility in Slacko. It's quite nice also.

Glipper: so you compiled Glipper-source with -enable-nls. Is it as simple as finding the source code and doing
Code:
make glipper-source-enable-nls

? (I've never compiled) and then replacing the old Glipper with this new one?

And now for some good news: Gparted is dutchified! The .po in the link you gave worked flawlessly in Poedit! (as usual I wasn't too careful and downloaded the gparted live-cd as well..133MB Laughing )

Time for some more questions gentlemen Wink :

1.
L18L wrote:

and symlink back to it ]


So far I forgot to do this...would it be possible to explain why to do so in a few words?

2. My root folder is getting rather crowded with all the momanager files..Should I keep them there, or move them safely away or just delete them?

3. Wouldn't translating be easier and faster just using Poedit or Geany and using Manager Mo as a perfect checklist?

Thanks again. Your efforts are much appreciated. And yes, I'm certain others will find all this useful too. ( Like I learned things from the Danish thread Maans started.)






*) edit: no, I saved it as a file in Geany, then opened it in Poedit...
