57 <h2>Internationalization</h2>
58 <p>
59 Translation is a community effort and everyone can help. You're
60 welcome to join the team! You can find more pot files on
61 <a href="http://hg.slitaz.org/">Hg</a>, just pick one up,
62 translate it and send it to the mailing list or upload it onto the
63 SliTaz Community Network aka <a href="http://scn.slitaz.org/">SCN</a>.
64 </p>
65
66 <p>
67 SliTaz project Website is available in the following languages:

81
82 <h2>Information</h2>
83
84 <p>
85 The website and documentation has been translated and is kept
86 up-to-date by several contributors. For now, the actively maintained
87 languages are English, French, German, Portuguese and Chinese.
88 Spanish is on the stove, but more help is needed. Most of the
89 communication is done through the
90 <a href="en/mailing-list.html">Mailing List</a> and the i18n group on
91 <a href="http://scn.slitaz.org/groups/i18n/">SCN</a>.
92 </p>
93
94 <p>
95 Some additional languages can be installed through the Package
96 Manager, but we are not able to provide support and documentation.
97 SliTaz is a community based project, everyone can help out and is
98 more than welcome to join us.

102 <h2>How to participate</h2>
103
104 <p>
105 From fixing typos to translating a full xHTML page there's always editing
106 and proofreading to be done. Websites often move and get updated and
107 SliTaz home made tools such as TazPanel acquire new strings depending on the new
108 functions added to it. Over time we have developed a few ways to let you contact
109 us and get involved in the project.
110 </p>
111 <p>
112 For sending translations or requesting a new language you can join the
113 SliTaz <a href="en/mailing-list.html">Mailing List</a> and/or join the
114 community <a href="http://scn.slitaz.org/groups/i18n/">group on SCN</a>
115 and post to the <a href="http://scn.slitaz.org/groups/i18n/forum/">forum</a>
116 which lets you attach files.
117 </p>
118
119 <h3>Website translation</h3>
120
121 <p>
122 Here is a howto for translating a SliTaz website into a new language. First
123 you need the original website page in English. You have 2 ways to get a full
124 copy of the website: use Mercurial and clone the repository or download the
125 latest archive in tar.bz2 format. Using Mercurial lets you update your
126 local copy in one command and downloading directly from the repository
127 allows you to get the page you want. So it's matter of choice, but if you
128 want to manage a language and push changes yourself, you will have to use
129 Mercurial, here is some <a href="en/devel/forge.php">more info on Hg</a>.
130 </p>
131 <p>
132 Clone the website or get the latest archive:
133 </p>
134
135 <pre>
136 $ hg clone http://hg.slitaz.org/website
137 $ wget <a href="http://hg.slitaz.org/website/archive/tip.tar.bz2">
138 http://hg.slitaz.org/website/archive/tip.tar.bz2</a>
139 </pre>
140
141 <p>
142 Now that you have a full copy of the website you can fix typos or start a new
143 translation. The reference is English, so always copy an English page to
144 your native language and naturally keep the website structure intact. When
145 you're happy with your work you can send it to the community as
146 explained beforehand.
147 </p>
148 <p>
149 If you're a bit afraid about sending a mail to more than 300 people on the list
150 or becoming exposed on the forum, you can send a private message to one of the i18n
151 group members on SCN, but he/she might not have time to answer. Keep in mind we are
152 a friendly community and there aren't any stupid questions.
153 </p>
154
155 <h3>System translation</h3>
156
157 <p>
158 Like said before, the goal is to provide full language support, not only
159 with the website or forum, but with the system itself. Everything can be translated
160 from menu items to SHell scripts and GUI boxes. For this we use standard
161 gettext POT files.
162 </p>
163 <p>
164 Each translation of a sub-project has its own file named with a language
165 prefix, example: pt.po or fr.po. This PO file can be translated with a nice
166 graphical editor like POedit on SliTaz. That means you don't need to have
167 programming or Linux skills to help or maintain a translation.
168 </p>
169 <p>
170 If a PO file for a language doesn't exist you can create one yourself or
171 ask a contributor to do it for you and commit the new file to Hg. For each
172 project you will find a README file with translation instructions to use
173 msginit and other gettext tools. If you want to update or complete a
174 translation PO file, you can download it from here or from Hg and then
175 send it to the list, the forum or SCN as usual. Note that some projects
176 are contained in the same repository such as tazpkg-notify which is part
177 of tazpkg.
