Hi,
I have sent this e-mail to gnome-i18n that I believe captures your
question.

About translating
documents
(.xml/.sgml) in
GNOME

Hi,

I am interested in the translation of .xml/.sgml files in GNOME 2.2
and I would like to ask if the following procedure is correct.


A. I get the latest snapshots (using CVS) of the packages listed on
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/status/gnome-2.1-core/
checking at the bottom of the page whether to get a branch or not.

B. Search for .xml/.sgml files in the packages and translate as
described in 
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-doc-list/2001-October/msg00030.html
but downloading the updated file from GNOME CVS, module 'intltool'.

C. Files can be found in, and then placed in:

a. One case (straightforward) is to create your own sub directory in
        C/ 
        es/
        no/

and place there the translated files. The source of the .sgml/.xml files
is of course the C/ directory.

b. In some other cases, the files are in a 'man' subdirectory, such as
./gnome-session/man/gnome-smproxy.sgml
./gnome-session/man/session-properties-capplet.sgml
./gnome-session/man/session-properties.sgml

[[Need advice on this]]

Hi all,

I just received an interesting message from a translator who, like me, is
subscribed to Wordfast discussion list (see below). My original aim was to
obtain information about the localization-related available and how to
possibly (re-)launch a related project, ODoMoMoS (which I installed on
Source Forge and is sleeping since a few months).

Any volunteers among Free CATS project team & discussion list subscribers to
help collect info about who does what in the Linux world (KBabel and
whatever else)?

We need to know more about existing projects (and project leads' e-mail
addresses).

Simos, maybe you're the one among us who knows this world best.

Marilyn & I could then coordinate our communication efforts towards this
"area of interest".

Henri

Hi Henry,

A few words on the Linux situation:

Most programs for Linux are written in C++. There are particular
mechanisms for extracting translatable text from these files and
creating catalogues of translations. This system has gained wide
acceptance, and there are a number of Linux-based translation memory
tools which exploit it.

As you would expect, most localization work on Linux is done by
volunteers. There are hundreds of such people; very few of them are
professional translators and most of them have probably never heard of
the Windows tools used for localization.

The best place to start looking for information on localization for
Linux is probably the Linux internationalization mailing list at
lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/translation-i18n.

Hope this helps,
Marc
