I18N progress 3.0 -> closed, please use ticket #17708 instead

[Michael Thayer]

This is a continuation of ticket:2018 which 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 translations maintainer at Oracle before a new release (or after a major UI change) to inform contributors that translation files need to be updated.

Please read the document describing the translation process in detail ​here.

A separate ticket for NLS mistakes/suggestion has also been created (#4503). Please subscribe to the ticket to monitor new reports (add a comment to do so).

[Richard E van der Luit]

Ha michael,

Is it possible to point to the latest to-be-translated files (like "The current location of the latest NLS files is [here]") in the yellow discription field at the begining of this post? Would be very helpful.

Also, somehow i missed an update translation (just yesterday I saw an untranslated entry in a submenu I never visit, version 4.3.26). Is it possible to post here that an updated translation is needed (deadline if applicable)?

[Vincenzo Reale]

Replying to michael:

Vincenzo, thank you - updated. Richard, great!

Hi Michael, I noticed that the Italian translation you committed has 1878/1976 translated strings.
My latest revision has 1906/1906.
Thank you in advance.

[Michael Thayer]

Burak, thank you - updated. Vincenzo, I had updated the repository, just not the web page with the translation files (done that now), as there was nothing much (if anything) new to translate. In future I can also upload individual updated translations there.

[Michael Thayer]

Thank you Ikuya, updated.

[Michael Thayer]

Updated the Dutch and Bulgarian translations - thank you Richard and Stoyan. Richard, I am not bothering to notify about all the small updates that are continuing to trickle in, not least because it also creates quite a bit or work for me to do lots of translation updates for one or two changed strings (which comes away from actual development time). I will of course notify when we freeze the translations for 5.0.

[Michael Thayer]

The hopefully final files are now available for translation.

Updated - thank you Stoyan and Vincenzo. Vincenzo, it looks like 4.2 was already up-to-date - there were not changes to check in. Stoyan, it is enough if you provide the compressed VirtualBox_bg.ts source file since we generate the binary files ourselves and the Qt file is already at 100%.

Great work everyone.

[Socratis]

I'm going to be starting the translation to Greek, VirtualBox_el. Actually, I started at some point with VB 4.3, but I never managed to get too far along, so 5.x it is. And, please, no jokes like "it's all Greek to me"... ;)

[Michael Thayer]

Great! Look forward to seeing it, although I'm afraid I really won't understand anything of it.

[Socratis]

I'll translate it for you, don't worry ;)

Now, here's a question. I had done some work in the 4.3 series. The basic strings to translate have changed (I'm talking the VirtualBox_xx_YY.ts file). How do I port the 4.3 work to the 5.0 era without resorting to endless Copy-Paste? Is there a "merge" of some sorts?

Oh, and another thing. In the translated file, do I leave it as "unfinished" or do I give it the green "check"?

[Michael Thayer]

Can you attach what you have done? I can update it to 5.0 for you. It has been a while since I have used Qt Translator, but if I remember correctly you can confirm that a translation marked as unfinished is still correct. (Someone else can tell me if I am wrong here.)

[Socratis]

Sure thing, but how are you going to do it if you don't mind me asking? We shouldn't have to bother you all the time, say, for the next release. Oh, and yes, unfinished is still correct, except that QT Linguist has a nice visual way of figuring out where your gaps are.

[Socratis]

4.3 qt and VirtualBox for Greek (el)

[Michael Thayer]

Actually I always do that for every translation when there is a new release with new text to be translated (or even when there is new text to be translated in the lifetime of a single release). What I do is add the translation file to the VirtualBox sources and run "kmk updatenls" in the src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox folder. But on the whole it is simplest when I do that...

The updated files can be downloaded from

https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/nls/5.0/

Thank you!

[Michael Thayer]

Thank you Burak, updated. Socratis, would you be able to add a comment to this ticket similar to comment 82? Thank you.

[Socratis]

I do not have a problem adding the following statement:

The Greek (el) translation attached here by Socratis Kalogrianitis is published under the terms of the MIT license.

However, there were two contributors before me. Their contributions were minimal, but still I don't know how this would play out. Previous contributors: gumstic, epimitheas. See ticket #2018 for more details.

[Michael Thayer]

Thank you Socratis! The way we generally do this is to just leave previous contributor's names in the translation file unless their contributions were completely removed. If in doubt we will leave them in, but please tell me what your opinion is there.

[Michael Thayer]

Thank you Xabier and Vincenzo, updated.

[Socratis]

I just noticed something in a couple of places; UIWizardNewVD and UIWizardCloneVD. The string:

<p>You can also choose to <b>split</b> the hard disk file into several files of up to two gigabytes each. This is mainly useful if you wish to store the virtual machine on removable USB devices or old systems, some of which cannot handle very large files.

seems to be missing the closing </p> at the end of the string. Is this something that should be fixed or is it done on purpose? And, BTW, should have I posted this on ticket #4503 instead?

[Michael Thayer]

Thanks, we will fix that some time soon. It shouldn't need the translators to do anything more. Ticket #4503 is more for users to report mistakes to the translators, for this I think this ticket is fine.

[6c6c6]

Our community (3 persons. So I don't know how can we allow Oracle Corporation to make use of our contributions. I must write only my (publisher's) name or names of all members of our team?) have done the update of the Ukrainian language file. We have received consent from the previous translator (Daniel Korostil).

The Ukrainian (uk) translation attached here by Localize.org.ua community is published under the terms of the MIT license.

[Michael Thayer]

Thank you Peter and 6c6c6, updated and enabled those translations. Good to have two additional languages in the next version!

6c6c6, if possible we prefer to have a name or names (either one person who represents the community or all three names would be fine).

[Rožinjo]

Dear all, I'm just starting to translate this nice tool to Croatian. It will take some time, but patience Leeds to success.

[Socratis]

Updated Greek (EL) translation, mainly because the ones in https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/nls/5.0/ are from the 4.x days. * VirtualBox_el: 1825/1920 (95.1%) * qt_el: 1026/1209 (84.9%) Also, if you could update the summary at the top to include me as the greek translator. I just had a fellow willing to help me out. Speaking of, his name will appear in the credits. Does he have to "sign" his contributions under the MIT license as well?

[Anastasios Kazakis]

I help socratis with the greek translation and the translation is under the terms of the MIT licence as described at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/MIT%20license. Greetings from Greece ! Anastasios Kazakis

[Michael Thayer]

Thank you both, update the translation. Rožinjo, great!

[Socratis]

Quick question for all translators:

Since the qt_XX.ts seems to be common for all Qt related applications, do you know if there is a central repository where the work of the translators is coordinated and synced? I'm at 100% in the VirtualBox_el.ts front, but at the 85% in the qt_el.ts and I was wondering if there is an official way to do it...

[peremen]

Of course, Qt upstream repository. I don't know about whether VirtualBox will be ported to Qt 5 in near future, as Qt 4.x is now on maintenance release. In fact, I am also one of the upstream author of qt_ko.ts, so there is no problem in committing the same file here and there.

And also be aware: one of the biggest user of Qt is KDE, and KDE translators maintained their own set of Qt translations until Qt 4.x. Looks like Qt 4.x is already translated into Greek; see ​http://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kde4/team/el/qt/ . Contact your local KDE translation team for questions.

[Anastasios Kazakis]

Hey guys, I was a little bit enthusiastic and I didn't consult with our team leader. Given that Greek is a very difficult language in its grammar, we didn't actually pass the strings through a rigorous test cycle, so please do not update the site yet. We will be back soon with a checked version of the strings. Thank you.

[Genghis]

Hebrew translation of 4.3.10 (updated on November 2015). MIT License

[Michael Thayer]

Updated and re-enabled the Catalan translation - thank you Pau!

Ghengis, thank you for your submission. Was it intentional that you submitted a translation for 4.3.10 rather than 5.0 (or even the most recent 4.3 version?) And could I ask for your name so that I can add you to the list of translators?

[Genghis]

Was it intentional that you submitted a translation for 4.3.10 rather than 5.0 (or even the most recent 4.3 version?)

No, it was not. This translation was neglected on November 2015. I hope to update it and bring new translators this year.

And could I ask for your name so that I can add you to the list of translators?

In the translation file itself, there are names of some of the people who have assisted me in this translation.

In concern to myself (this account), I have opened this email address mainly to contribute Hebrew translations under no real name due to extensive abuse and corruption of translations of he_IL locale by false translators (mostly GTK+ since 2005); in recent year, we have regained control under Xfce and we hope to bring order to GTK+ core and GNOME.

Genghis, not quite sure I understand what you need. If it is just a case that you would like to submit your work-in-progress, then please do so, and I will be happy to add it to the repository. The person taking responsibility for the translation should add a comment to this ticket with their name and that they submit the work under the terms of the MIT licence (see the examples already on this ticket; ideally we need a statement like that every time the work is updated).

[Genghis]

I would continue to translate if someone would kindly update the file I have submitted. attachment:VirtualBox_he.ts.zip​ (Hebrew translation of 4.3.10 (updated on November 2015). MIT License)

Thank you.

[Michael Thayer]

Done that. Could you please provide the translator name list in Latin characters though, as I sadly can't read Hebrew?

[Genghis]

Where can I download the updated file from?

Translators are: Ariel Ben Zion, David Levi, Eli Zaretskii, Genghis, Orgad Shaneh, Yaron Sheffer (אורגד שנה, אלי זרצקי, אריאל בן ציון, ג׳ינג׳ס, דוד לוי, ירון שפר).

[Michael Thayer]

Thank you. The translation files live here:

https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/nls/5.0/

[Michael Thayer]

As the 5.1 release is due shortly, I have prepared new translation files containing the new text to be translated (the most complete translations from 5.0 are at about 92% in 5.1). These can be found at:

Greek translation for VirtualBox 5.1.x is finally done.

• VirtualBox_el: 100%.
• qt_el: 100%.

Hopefully it will make it in time for 5.1.2. We could backport it to the 5.0.x series, I don't know if it would make sense. Please advice.

[Michael Thayer]

Thank you Erico and Socratis, updated! Socratis, I did a quick experiment and I was able to back-port all updates from 5.1 to 5.0 automatically: it seems that there is no new text in 5.0 which is not in 5.1 too.

Yes, there didn't seem to be no text that had to be backported, it was already there, except of course for the grammatical and syntactical errors that were corrected in the updated text.

However, 5.1.2 was just released and unfortunately we didn't make the cut...

Thank you Andika, Vincenzo, Bartosz and Alan, updated! Bartosz, since the previous translation was badly out-of-date I just adopted yours without trying to contact the previous translator. If possible, could you give your full name?

Generally, if you update older versions you only need to bother with text which is not in the newer ones, as I can (as I discovered) add the newer text automatically.

[hawkeye116477]

Updated polish translation. Translated new text.

[Michael Thayer]

Thank you Ikuya, updated.

By the way (all), I am not bothering to do small adjustments to percentages translated, like setting all percentages from 100% to 99% when two or three new pieces of text are added. You probably already noticed.

Thank you Socratis, updated.

Slight update in the "5.1.2-qt_el-VirtualBox_el.zip" file, but more importantly, I think that there's something key missing in the source code of VirtualBox, that why I think we missed the 5.1.2 release (comment:138). Or am I mistaken?

[Michael Thayer]

Thank you Socratis, Park and Burak, updated. Socratis, terribly sorry, I thought I had done that - fixed now. I wish I could say that it is the first time I have forgotten to enable a translation...

[Socratis]

Replying to michael:

Socratis, terribly sorry, I thought I had done that - fixed now.

Micahel, can you please explain to me the following: I downloaded the latest TestBuild (development revision 109616) and the Greek translation is enabled. Great!

However, if I look at the source code (https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox/nls/ApprovedLanguages.kmk) it still shows as not fixed. And in the Timeline (https://www.virtualbox.org/timeline) the last source code change is 8 days back (r62604) and it obviously does not include the fix. Hmm???

[Socratis]

OK, the revisions are in! r62820 was in the trunk on 2016.08.01. The question is why did it take 9 days (!) for hundreds and hundreds or revisions to get submitted in bulk. I guess that this is the way that VBox devs do things? Test and once proven, all revs are submitted en masse.

[Michael Thayer]

That is roughly correct. An additional factor was slowdown due to summer holidays. Thanks again for the work and for checking the things that I forgot!

[Michael Thayer]

Bartosz, the file is dated July 25 and is identical to the current one. Is that intended?

What the modification of the bug says.

Changed 72 minutes ago by socratis

What the actual comments say. Clearly we're not talking about the same thing.

So, do I have to have a comment every time I upload a file? And I didn't even replace an existing file. Which I plan on doing, that's why I ended with a name like "5.1.x-qt_el-VirtualBox_el.zip", to indicate the current (5.1.x) translations for both the "qt_el" and the "VirtualBox_el" files. If I were to simply update the file, it wouldn't show up in the updates?

I check the recently changed bugs (https://www.virtualbox.org/query?changetime=..&max=200&col=id&col=summary&col=changetime&col=status&col=priority&col=component&col=resolution&col=guest&col=host&col=reporter&desc=1&order=changetime), so I got alerted when my attachment didn't show up.

I will update the file, in place, after some time of inactivity and see what happens.

@nippur: You were not the only one the didn't get a notification about the changes in the translation strings.

[Michael Thayer]

Updated Dutch and Greek, thanks both. And yes, there are again a couple of new strings to translate<1>. I will make more of an effort to keep you up to date - sorry about that.

Updated Greek (el) translations for 5.1.x, 2016-11-07.

[etc]

I just want to improve the quality of translation but no one give an attention, specially BouRock who is -official- and -only- translator, just ignored me. He updated translation after my correction which I sent 2 weeks ago, I reviewed it and it still has non-Turkish origin words.

[Michael Thayer]

etc, I'm afraid this is a problem that I am not really able to say anything about, given that I don't know Turkish and Turkish linguistic culture. My feeling is that linguistic purity might be a controversial issue in Turkish, but that might be completely wrong. I would appreciate a friendly comment by Burak, but at this point since he has and does put a lot of work into the translation I leave the decision with him.

[Michael Thayer]

Update Greek and Turkish translations, thank you Socratis and Burak. There is one new untranslated text, but I don't think it is high priority.

[Socratis]

Michael, IMHO, since you're on the inside on the release schedule, you could/should be updating the strings at least a week before going out of the developer/test build and in the release one. Just give us about a week or so to make the new release. TIA.

You are wrong, I did not ignore you, I always continue translations from new file which are uploaded to https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/nls/5.1/ by michael.

I was looking at the Catalan translation to help PauGNU, but my surprise is that in https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/nls/5.1/, the Catalan file seems much much smaller than other languages (including Catalan - Valencian variant). There are a few entries missing from that file.

Is this something you can fix before I start translating?

Thanks!

[Michael Thayer]

I took a quick look, but it seems to me that the size difference is due to the low number of obsolete entries in the Catalan file. Compare for example German (de) and Greek (el), which are both very up-to-date. Removing obsolete entries is not required though, which is why some up-to-date files are still quite a bit larger.

What is missing from the Catalan file? The build system claimed that everything was there, but perhaps something went wrong there.

[xavivars]

I don't know if there's anything (not obsolete) missing. I didn't realize that the entries that I saw in CA-Valencia that were missing in CA were obsolete, si it should be good to go.

I'll give it a try.

Thanks!

[Klaus Espenlaub]

Many thanks, all!

As a general hint: during the maintenance period of 5.2 we're expecting some further NLS changes due to the ongoing work regarding accessibility of the GUI (interaction with screen reader applications and the like). So check back every now and then, we'll be asking for some further updates. Thanks in advance!

regards, Richard

[Michael Thayer]

Hello Richard,

Yes, that occurred to me. Your update was slightly too late for 5.1.28 anyway, so it wasn't critical. So far I have been merging current and old translations giving the old ones priority. I wonder whether it would make sense to reverse that, to pull corrections to existing text from current. I am slightly nervous though about replacing current text automatically. What do you think? For more context, the command I use for the update is:

lconvert -i primary.ts secondary.ts -o complete.ts

where complete.ts contains translations from both primary.ts and secondary.ts, but preferring secondary.ts in case of duplicates.

[Michael Thayer]

A somewhat different question: up until now we have had people translating the user interface but not the user manual, apart from a French translation some years ago. The main reason for this is lack of capacity for handling it on our side. I was wondering whether anyone (or better, a group of people) would be interested in doing that. It would have to include organisation, possibly using some external collaborative translation service for open source projects. The important things for us would be that we could use the result without legal worries, and that we could integrate it with a minimum of effort. That would probably mean getting the result in Docbook, unless someone is ready to invest time making our build system take something more modern. Again, I would love to integrate work on that, as long as I did not have to spend too much time on it.

I will post this to the developer and (community) user mailing lists as well.

Aha, you are merging....Why, if I may ask? The new translation is a full translation, ready to be used. It is not a diff file or so. I guarantee that every updated translation file I send you can be used for simply overwriting the old one you have - clean and simple.

Grtz Richard

[Michael Thayer]

Updated the Dutch and Greek translations. Thank you Socratis, Anastasios and Richard! I also enabled the Thai translation in 5.2 as it had been forgotten.

Richard, I am merging because there may well be text in 5.1 which is no longer present in 5.2 due to changes in the original text. We do not want that to get lost. However I have tried merging the 5.2 translations into 5.1, giving the 5.2 ones priority. I have updated both the 5.2<1> and the 5.1<2> pages as well as the 5.1 test builds<3>. It might be worth having a look over to make sure that everything is alright.

Hello everyone. I'm going to translate VirtualBox into Croatian.. I saw that Rožinjo also said this, but that was 21 months ago, and I see there's no progress whatsoever.. I already translated ~80% VirtualBox, and hope it'll be done until next Saturday (21st October)...

Thank you Hessam, updated! For next time, there should be no need to provide translations for older branches: we add updates from the current branch when we release. If you notice something missing, please let us know! And on 5.2 we changed the language name from fa_IR to fa to match what Qt did.

[co22]

thanks so also please update fa_IR to fa in above table

[Michael Thayer]

Done.

@michael

I don't know why, but if you click on https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/nls/5.2 it redirects you to a "Forbidden" page.

Actually, I do know why, I don't really know why the redirection. But the fix is an ending slash in the directory, as in https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/nls/5.2/

Oh well... ;)

updated Simplified Chinese translation for Windows installer

[Lee Chenhwa]

Hi, the vbox 5.2 installer on Windows is with locale UI now, though it is in tranditional Chinese, please update the Simplified Chinese translation for Windows installer. The simplified version is converted from the tranditional version with some phrases revised. Thanks to the tranditional team.

[Michael Thayer]

Updated the Slovenian translation and added the Simplified Chinese installer translation. Thank you Peter and Lee!

I also fixed the language identifier in the Traditional Chinese translation from 1024 to 1028 and added the Windows installer files to the download page[1]. Lee, I will update the 5.2 test builds[2] later today in case you want to test that your language work is really working. It should be there in revision 119536 or later.

Thank you Erico, updated! I also updated the testcase files, could you check to see if the situation is better now? Thanks!

[Erico Mendonca]

Replying to michael:

Thank you Erico, updated! I also updated the testcase files, could you check to see if the situation is better now? Thanks!

I checked at https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/nls/5.2/, but the file is still dated Nov 3rd and appears to have the same contents. Is this correct?

[Michael Thayer]

Should be fixed now.

@Michael: is there a way to check whether all strings in the qt_nl.ts needed by VB are translated? Is it preferable to be translated 100% anyway?

[Lovro Makovec]

Hello. I have a question about translating VirtualBox. A while ago I started translating it to Croatian, I think it was VB 5.0 or 5.1 version. Anyways, today I finished translating it (that old version) and was wondering if there's a way to merge the translation of the old VB version with the latest English (xx_YY) version so I don't have to completely re-write every old translation to that latest file (version 5.2)?

[Mindaugas]

A little update Lithuanian translation

[Michael Thayer]

Thank you Mindaugas. I have updated the translation, but not yet enabled it as it is still not quite complete.

@LockyGamer I suggest that you attach your translation to this ticket and I can update it to 5.2. Some of the text will not be kept due to text changes between the versions, but text which has not changed in the English should be kept in the translation.

[Lovro Makovec]

Hello. I am uploading the Croatian translation for VirtualBox. I hope I upload it correctly, because I am still new to this translating stuff.

[Lovro Makovec]

I just realized it has been uploaded twice. Sorry about that :/

[Michael Thayer]

@LockyGamer When I update your translation to VirtualBox 5.2 it is 97 percent complete (47 pieces of text left to translate). So I suggest that you add an MIT licencing statement to this ticket<1> and then I will add the updated version your translation to VirtualBox and to the translations page<2>, where you can re-download it. The _qt.ts file does not need any updating for VirtualBox 5.2. I will also check with our interface developer whether _hr or _hr_HR is what we currently use (we made some changes recently).

1. wiki:Translating#Submittingthetranslation
2. https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/nls/5.2/

[Michael Thayer]

@LockyGamer Since Qt does not seem to have a Croatian translation, our interface developer thinks that whichever makes most sense is fine, so probably _hr (I don't think there are any relevant variants of Croatian?)

[Lovro Makovec]

@michael No, there is only one version of the Croatian language, and it is spoken in Croatia.

[Michael Thayer]

@LockyGamer Thank you, I added your translation. The updated file for 5.2 is on the download page<1>.

[Lovro Makovec]

Hello. I am uploading the Croatian translation of VirtualBox 5.2.

[Michael Thayer]

Update and enabled the Croatian translation, thank you Lovro!

[Michael Thayer]

As this ticket is getting rather long I have created a new one, #17708. Please use that instead for providing updated translations. I will still update this ticket occasionally when there is new text to translate until enough people are subscribed to the new one, so no need to add comments there just to get updates.

Thank you all for the continuous hard work!
