I18N progress — at Version 23

Description (last modified by Dmitry A. Kuminov)

This ticket is intended for two purposes:

  1. Submit new translation source files by attaching them to this ticket.
  2. Report about performing synchronization of existing translation source files in the SVN repository.

Step 1 is done by contributors willing to add support for a new language to the VirtualBox product. An accepted translation file appears in the SVN repository and becomes available in the binary builds. Even after that, contributors remain responsible for updating translation files to keep them in sync with updates to the VirtualBox UI.

Step 2 is performed by the GUI maintainer at InnoTek before a new release (or after a major UI change) to inform contributors that translation files need to be updated.

More info about the translation process can be found here.

The current list of translators:

English (built-in)InnoTek
GermanInnoTek

bluebat, VirtualBox_zh_TW.ts should appear in SVN shortly. Please zip it next time (there is no UI to download an attachment in raw format here yet; making it binary will force raw format automatically).

The file is indeed quite outdated. When updating, make sure you will update a special section called @@@ (see http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Translating for description).

Translation files for all languages have been synchronized with sources. This will be always done when a new translation file is added to SVN for the first time (besides regular synchronizations).

Italian translation is completed but not yet tested.

comment:9 by KhaoticMind, 17 years ago

I'll start translating it to Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR).

comment:10 by Joaquin Duo, 17 years ago

I have begun translating to spanish.

What about uploading the partially translated files to the wiki?
So in that way it would be easier to coordinate translations.
Furthermore, the partially made translations wouldn't be lost. (supposing the translator abandon for some reason)

Just submit your translation files on a regular base to this record. We will add them to the source tree, even when they're not done yet.

Everyone: please add a comment every time you upload a translation, this way we get notified.

There it goes!

It should be good to give some guidelines about the acceleration keys on the wiki article.
Is there a way to check acceleration keys overlapping on qt3-linguist?
How does the translator know the limits of the acceleration keys context?
I mean there are same accel keys between same <context></context>.

Hello, I'd like to translate VirtualBox to Russian, but the file is already added to SVN. Is the position still available? I'll start translating right after your reply :)

Someone's already working on it (Igor Gorbunov). Send a message to info at virtualbox.org if you want to get in touch with him, maybe he needs some help.

Спасибо!

Hi I'd like to help at the translation in Spanish. This is my native language and I start to translate.

comment:18 by Alex Eftimie, 17 years ago

Hi, I know that this isn't the right place to ask that, but I cannot test my translation. I'm using VirtualBox 1.3.8, Qtlinguist3, I've got the .qm, placed into <path_VB..>/nls/ folder, changed locale to ro_RO (on ubuntu 6.10), but still got nothing. The only language I see is English. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all I'm going to start translation into Slovenian language (Slovenščina)

Recomendación para los traductores al español

Convenciones de la traducción:

  • Folder: carpeta (en este momento será la traduccion orientada a windows). Probablemente se haga una versión donde se diga directorio.
  • Share, shared: compartir, compartido, préstamo (cuando es sustantivo)
  • Snapshot: Instantánea
  • Reset: Reiniciar
  • Guest: Huésped
  • Host: Anfitrión
  • Backspace: Retroceso
  • Con respecto a los "acceleration keys" lo mejor es tratar de ponerlas en el mismo palabra y orden de letra donde estaban en inglés a menos que coincida con otra anterior.

La presente traducción no se adapta en su totalidad a estas reglas hay que editar algunas cosas.

Saludos!

The translation is for the upcoming version of vbox. You should test it from svn (dont know its state)

Cheers!

Thanks to everyone for his/her contribution! I want to clarify the requirements you must meet in order to let us legally include your translation to the VirtualBox product.

  1. Each of you must explicitly state here that you allow InnoTek to use your translation under the terms of the MIT license. Alternatively, you can fill, sign and send us a copy of the InnoTek Contributor's Agreement (ICA).
  2. Those who haven't already done so, must send an e-mail to info {at} innotek.de that contains the name of the language you are translating to.

To get more details on the above, please study the section Submitting the translation carefully.

NOTE. These steps are a must for ALL translators, even for those whose translation files are already in SVN! If we don't get your explicit permission as described above, we will have to remove your translations from the product. And please don't forget that you must specify your full name in your licensing statement (as well as in the Authors section of the translation file), not a nick name.
