2.37 The <tt>`trunk/Locales'</tt> Directory
|
|
|
b9dbd3 |
|
|
|
671838 |
The <tt>`trunk/Locales'</tt> directory exists to store the translation
|
|
|
671838 |
messages used to produce content in different languages.
|
|
|
671838 |
|
|
|
671838 |
Translation messages are organized using the directory structure of
|
|
|
671838 |
the component being translated. For example, if we want to provide
|
|
|
671838 |
translation messages for <tt>`trunk/Manuals/Filesystem'</tt>, then the
|
|
|
671838 |
<tt>`trunk/Locales/Manuals/Filesystem'</tt> directory needs to be created.
|
|
|
671838 |
|
|
|
671838 |
Once the locale directory exists for the component we want to provide
|
|
|
671838 |
translation messages for, it is necessary to create the translation
|
|
|
671838 |
files where translation messages are. The translation files follows
|
|
|
671838 |
the concepts of xml2po and GNU gettext tools.
|
|
|
671838 |
|
|
|
671838 |
The basic translation process is as follow: first, translatable
|
|
|
671838 |
strings are extracted from files and a portable object template (.pot)
|
|
|
671838 |
is created or updated with the information. Using the portable object
|
|
|
671838 |
template, a portable object (.po) is created or updated for translator
|
|
|
671838 |
to locale the messages retrived. Finally, a machine object (.mo) is
|
|
|
671838 |
created from portable object to sotore the translated messages.
|
|
|
671838 |
|
|
|
671838 |
Inside the repository there are two ways to retrive translatable
|
|
|
671838 |
strings from files. The first one is through xml2po command
|
|
|
671838 |
and the second through xgettext command. The xml2po
|
|
|
671838 |
is used to retrive translatable strings from XML files (e.g., Scalable
|
|
|
671838 |
Vector Graphics, DocBook, etc.) and the xgettext command is
|
|
|
671838 |
used to retrive translatable strings from shell scripts files (e.g.,
|
|
|
671838 |
the files that make the centos-art.sh command-line
|
|
|
671838 |
interface).
|
|
|
671838 |
|
|
|
671838 |
When translatable strings are retrived from XML files, using the
|
|
|
671838 |
xml2po command, there is no need to create the machine
|
|
|
671838 |
object as we do when translatable strings ar retrived from shell
|
|
|
671838 |
files, using the xgettext command. The xml2po
|
|
|
671838 |
produces a temporal machine object in order to create a translated XML
|
|
|
671838 |
file. Once the translated XML file has been created the machine object
|
|
|
671838 |
is no longer needed. On the other hand, the machine object produced by
|
|
|
671838 |
the xgettext command is required by the system in order for
|
|
|
671838 |
the show shell script localized messages.
|
|
|
671838 |
|
|
|
671838 |
Another difference between xml2po and xgettext we
|
|
|
671838 |
need to be aware of is the directory structure used to store machine
|
|
|
671838 |
objects. In xml2po, the machine object is created in the
|
|
|
671838 |
current working directory as <tt>`.xml2po.mo'</tt> and can be safetly
|
|
|
671838 |
removed once the translated XML file has been created. In the case of
|
|
|
671838 |
xgettext, the machine object needs to be stored in the
|
|
|
671838 |
<tt>`$TEXTDOMAIN/$LOCALE/LL_MESSAGES/$TEXTDOMAIN.mo'</tt> file in order
|
|
|
671838 |
for the system to interpret it and should not be removed since it is
|
|
|
671838 |
the file that contain the translation messages themselves.
|
|
|
671838 |
|
|
|
671838 |
Automation of localization tasks is achived through the locale
|
|
|
671838 |
functionality of command-line interface.
