I18N progress

[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.

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The file is indeed quite outdated.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).

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

VirtualBox_zh_CN is now in SVN, all language files have been synchronized with sources.

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

Synchronized all NLS with sources (Language UI update).

[Ciro Mattia Gonano]

Italian translation is completed but not yet tested.

[KhaoticMind]

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

[Joaquin Duo]

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)

[bluebat]

additional translation for zh_TW

Muchos gracias!

What about uploading the partially translated files to the wiki?

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.

[Alex Eftimie]

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>.

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

[Alex Eftimie]

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.

[JLP]

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

[Joaquin Duo]

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!

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

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.

[Ciro Mattia Gonano]

Ok, so on with legalish...

• My real name is Ciro Mattia Gonano, and my email is <removed>
• I'm translating VirtualBox in Italian;
• the actual translation (up to 2006-04-13) is currently available as an attachment to ticket #234
• I release my translation under the terms of the MIT license.

[Alex Eftimie]

For the legal part :

• my real name is Alexandru Ioan Eftimie, my email address is <removed>
• I've translated VirtualBox into Romanian
• the actual translation (2007-04-16) is available as an attachment to the ticket #234
• I release my translation under the terms of the MIT license

[Technologov]

I have tried to open "VirtualBox_ru.ts", but I was unable to do so.

What should I do or what can go wrong?

igorbounov: What version of Qt Linguist do you use?

I have successfully opened the Innotek's template.

Platform: openSUSE 10.2, Qt Linguist 3.3.7.

Uploaded my latest translation, VirtualBox_ro.ts.zip zipped (jd :)), and I think that VirtualBox_ro.ts (165.2 kB) might be removed from this page.

Cheers

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

I've added all new languages and synchronized them with the current code base. They will soon appear in the SVN so please be patient and don't send updates until then.

General note to everybody Please look through the table of current translators. Languages that contain columns with the bold text are not legally clean and WILL BE REMOVED from the product before the next release if we don't get the required information from the authors. Bold text in the Authors column means that we don't have the full name of the author and don't have his/her e-mail address. Bold in License status means we don't have a legal permission from the author.

jean-jacques, I've renamed VirtualBox_fr_FR.ts to VirtualBox_fr.ts to have French French for all territories if there is no territory-specific translation (like fr_BE for example). And please don't forget about

lestat, I've done the same to VirtualBox_it_IT for the same reason (there is unlikely to be a separate translation to it_CH).

alexef, sorry and thank you, corrected now.

jean-jacques, you are not listening to me for some reason. I asked to not update the translation before the one you have attached here earlier appears in SVN... I will try to merge the latest one from you once more but I cannot guarantee it will be clean (so you will have to carefully check it). And, once again, please zip the .ts file next time before attaching.

All, just in case. Please no translation updates until the current ones are in SVN so that you can download them and use to continue your work.

[Sander van Leeuwen]

User reports: The buttons Next, Back, Cancel and Finish have no entry in the ts files.

[jean-jacques]

The wizard dialog are not OK concerning the internationalization. I have foubd the following which is not included within the ts files: Next, Back, Finish, Cancel, Other/Unknown (OS type combo box), E&xisting (new image file)

[jean-jacques]

Replying to dmik: I habe attached send, I hope so, a new version of the french translation.

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

All translation files are now up-to-date. You should download your translation file from SVN (​here) and continue on that file, not on your local copy you attached here!.

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

I've found a problem with whatsthis balloons in settings dialogs (shown from the context menu or after clicking on the ? button on the window title bar on Win32). Qt couldn't always properly recognize rich text used for some items and therefore would display HTML tags and would break lines instead of formatting them as desired. I had to resynchronize all language files again so that some items became outdated. You will have to download the files again from SVN, merge with what you've already done and re-translate those unlucky items. Sorry for inconvenienve.

Also, I've decided that VirtualBox will ship translation files for built-in Qt dialogs and other resources (see comment:37) instead of relying that they are installed on the user machine together with the Qt library. There are lots of reasons to do so, the most important are 1) we ship our own Qt build on Win32 and 2) not all languages are present in the set of Qt translation files supplied by Trolltech.

Therefore, you can now find qt_xx_YY.ts files in the nls in ​this directory. Part of them are already fully translated, the other part are totally untranslated. Here are the untranslated ones:

1. qt_es.ts
2. qt_it.ts
3. qt_ro.ts
4. qt_zh_CN.ts
5. qt_zh_TW.ts

People maintaining the corresponding !VirtualBox_*.ts files should translate these qt_*.ts files as well, in order to get their language in built-in Qt dialogs.

[Technologov]

Great Work !

Few things:

1. Is there a way 2 developers work on the same translation file ?

What's the best practices for several independent developers working together ? Say, one can start from the beginning and the other from the end, and we combine results somehow (maybe SVN) ?

2. Documentation translation proposal:

To make the product really translated, the documentation must be translated as well. However now, it's too professional, very-long & complex to be translatable.

One idea to make documentation more translatable, is to devide current Innotek's documentation "User Manual" into 2 parts: "Start-up guide" (for newbies) and "Reference guide" (for advanced users).

This will allow translators to translate just the first guide.

So small team/1-man can translate the start-up guide, so it will be available in 40+ languages shortly (weeks, and cover basic user needs), while the "Reference guide" can only be translated by large teams - which will result in, say, 5-8 languages after a long period of time (many months/1 year).

What do you think ?

No, this is not correct. The .ts file in SVN contains a proper string. I will merge it for you but please recheck the translation afterwards.

The main window tab snapshot icons are not very well. The tooptip for the second contain the key stroke (Ctrl+Alt+Maj+D) this can't be found within the ts files.

Replying to jean-jacques:

This string has nothing to do with GUI -- it is reported by the VBox core. The VBox core translation framework is not yet complete (but in progress).

The main window tab snapshot icons are not very well. The tooptip for the second contain the key stroke (Ctrl+Alt+Maj+D) this can't be found within the ts files.

You've misread the .ts file. All five tool buttons and their shortcurs are there (including the .ts file you've just attached).

Sorry, I cannot get what you mean.

igorbounov, there is no need to create multiple attachments of the same language -- you can overwrite the existing one. Also, I couldn't send a reply to your last e-mail, because <mailer daemon e-mail address> told that your work e-mail (igorbounov...) is Unrouteable address.

The difference is that I took these .ts files from Qt 3.3.3, because this is the version we are currently bound to on Win32. So, you can just compare the one from 3.3.8 and the untranslated one from SVN and send me the first one if there are no incompatible changes (you will have to fix them first if there are).

Recent Japanese, Spanish and Russian changes are applied.

All language files have been synchronized with the current sources and merged to SVN. There was one important change: "Global Settings" is renamed to "Preferences" everywhere. Your old translations will still work but are marked as untranslated, because the translation will be different for many languages. Please review.

No, it was not correct. Thank you for noticing! The source and all language files have been corrected and merged to SVN. All translations are kept, so no re-translation is necessary unless your language is Chinese (where I simply don't know what means "snapshot" and what means "machine" -- so please check; items are marked as "unfinished").

Also, I've made one more harmless correction to all translation files because of this (recorded as a Translation hint #4 ​here):

4. Don't translate items starting with the # (hash) sign in contexts VBoxGlobalSettingsDlg and VBoxVMSettingsDlg, such as #general, #input and so on. They are responsible for the settings category hyper-link feature on the VM Details page and translating them will break this feature.

The Japanese language (VirtualBox_ja_JP.ts) translation attached here by Toshimitsu Tanaka is published under the terms of the MIT license.

I have a small question: should the language code be ja_JP but not just ja? The difference is simple: the latter (generic) form will be used as a fall-back for ja_XX locales in case if there is no exact ja_XX translation; the former (specific) will only be used for the ja_JP locale. So the actual question is: can your translation be used as a fall-back for Japanese speaking territories other than Japan?

typo fix

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

All latest updates have been incorporated and resynchronized with sources. A few new translatable items has added due to slight UI changes. You can update them now or wait for some more upcoming UI updates.

I've noticed that some recently attached translations were outdated (did not include the latest changes from SVN). PLEASE remember to take a latest SVN copy and merge it with your recent translation before attaching the latter here. Solving conflicts in all translations on my side is a) unsafe because I can read only two languages and b) very time consuming. So, please review the current translations for mistakes (again, by comparing your local copies with current SVN versions).

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

Updates to Japanese and Polish translations are merged to SVN.

adrian5632, please remove the _PL suffix from file names you attach here, since we decided not to use the country code for Polish (as you may have noticed, files in SVN already end with _pl, not with pl_PL). Not a big problem of course, but will save me a bit of time I spend renaming your files :)

[Ciro Mattia Gonano]

Italian !VirtualBox_it.ts and qt_it.ts updated to 100% Should I remove the "obsolete" strings?

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

Updates to Russian and Italian translations are merged to SVN.

lestat, yes, as long as you don't want to keep the old phrasing for further reference, you can remove "obsolete" items while translating. Keep in mind that there is no UI for doing that in Qt Designer -- you can manually edit the .ts file and delete all <message> elements that contain <translation type="obsolete"> elements. No need to do it right now because I will remove obsolete translations from all files before the 1.4.0 release.

Sorry about this mistake I've made, my latest upload was VirtualBox_ro.zip (35.4 kB) - added by alexef on 05/03/07 17:36:09. 100% Up to date, with wrong file name (missing .ts[.zip])) and it seems like it wasn't commited to SVN.

VirtualBox_ro.zip must be removed from this page, I shall update the current translation from SVN and upload it right here.

Thanks

Updates to Chinese/Taiwan and Romanian translations are merged to SVN.

[jean-jacques]

After downloading the last sources, I have seen that some textes are no more translated. This concern mainly the main menu of the VM.

on the rigth side of the main menue the short cute are english (eg. Host+F).

Within the status bar, the "host key" is printed out as "Rigth Ctrl", for previous version this was correct.

What texts exactly do you mean?

on the rigth side of the main menue the short cute are english (eg. Host+F).

You must have forgotten. It has always been like that -- Host+<Letter> shortcuts in the VM menu are not translatable in the current version (for technical reasons).

Within the status bar, the "host key" is printed out as "Rigth Ctrl", for previous version this was correct.

I think "Right Ctrl" is more correct than the previous "Control_R" (this is our attempt to workaround broken keysym names in Xlib). Anyway, you will be able to translate these key names now according to typical keyboard caps in your country (for X11 only; in Win32 key names are properly translated by the system).

Please hold on with any translations, language updates are being gathered to.

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

all,

For the upcoming 1.4.0 release, a couple of new UIs have been added and a couple of UIs have been updated. You are welcome to update your translations. All the translation files have been resynchronized with the sources and merged to SVN.

If you want to have your translation updated in 1.4.0, please keep in mind that the release of 1.4.0 is scheduled for the beginning of the next week.

P.S. German and Russian translations will be updated by innotek.

[Erico Mendonca]

I started the translation process for Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR) a couple of days ago, currently at about 80%.

I shall finish, test it and hopefully upload it this weekend.

[Erico Mendonca]

All right, here it goes. The translation for pt_BR is 100% done, and was tested and revised on yesterday's SVN build.

The Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR) translation attached here by Erico Mendonca is published under the terms of the MIT license.

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

Thanks to everybody for his/her contribution!

Updates to Romanian, Spanish, French, Japanese are merged to SVN. The Brazilian Portuguese translation has been added to SVN.

lestat, you've attached a too old translation file (dated 13.04.07). Please take a fresh !VirtualBox_it.ts from SVN and update it instead.

docca, thank you very much for a complete translation to the new language! BTW, I've changed the language/country name pairs in the @@@ context, I think it's better now.

dmik, there are two entries for Brazilian Portuguese in the language table at the beginning of this ticket. Also, "Portuguese" is spelled wrong.

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

lestat, the new file is fully correct, thank you.

docca, there are two language/country pairs: "Português (Brasil)" for native speakers and "Portuguese (Brazil)" as an international (English) variant. Which one of them is wrong?

Actually I'm talking about the list of translators at the beginning of this ticket :)

There are two entries for pt_BR, one for my translation and one for KhaoticMind's translation. I believe the one for KhaoticMind should be removed, as mine is already completed.

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

Ah I definitely misread you :) Ok, corrected.

[Alex Eftimie]

Congrats for the 1.4.0 release!
I just have uploaded my latest update to the Romanian translation and I'm wondering if it would get into the downloadable 1.4 packages or any update from now on applies only to the next (1.4.2?) version.
Thanks

[cromo]

There is a misspelling in polish translation. Should be "Odśwież", not "Odświerz".

[cromo]

Make sure you correct all the occurences of this misspelling, as I noticed at least two.

[adrian5632]

@cromo Yes, I know and I've corrected it, although I've added some strings. Can U write to me on <removed>?

I have started to work on the Swedish translation (language code 'sv').

Replying to jd:

• My real name is Joaquín Duo
• I'm translating VirtualBox in Spanish;
• My submitted translation (up to 2007-04-15) is currently available as an attachment to ticket #234
• I release my translation under the terms of the MIT license.

PD: I hope next time it's a GPL license. :-D

There is a misspelling. Should be "especificado", not "espeficicado" (at line 1966 in VirtualBox_es.ts).

Yeager, thank you very much for your contribution! The .zip file you attached here looks OK but you haven't licensed your work for us so I cannot include it into the code base. Please do it as described ​here. Don't forget that we need your full name and a valid e-mail (you can send it privately if you don't want to publish it).

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

kangmin, peremen and Xeph, Thank you a lot for your efforts, but could you please coordinate your work? For now, I only have .qm files from kangmin, which is not acceptable because we need the .ts sources. I also know that Xeph started working on the translation several weeks ago and probably made some progress. There is no need to do the same work twice, so please contact each other (you can do it right here) to join your efforts and give us a single translation in the .ts format.

I met Xeph on IRC a week ago, and he said that he lost all his works by accident, and he wants me to maintain the translation.(I have a log for that time) I made ts file and it is undergoing tests for several Korean users. It will go soon. Btw, is there any method to contact with kangmin except this space?

[kangmin]

peremen, sorry about Xeph's accident

but I did not konw all about this!! there is is only reason, when i visit first time this place there is any tranclated korean souces and I start translate this work and complet. that's it!!

Well, I reviewed through your translation, but I think your translation is immature. Although you claimed that you completed the translation, lots of part of .ts file is remaining as '?', which means untranslated. I will post my .ts file, please compare it with yours.

[kangmin]

oh, I know that! when it open wiht Qt Linguist have a lots of ? marks. but it translated complet. right beacuse I translate with Qt Linguist and text editor[editplus] to easy translate! I don't konw why it remain ? mark. if you see all of contats my .ts file wiht Qt Linguist or editplus, you can see it tranlated complet. It is impotant only to use Qt Linguist? or my .ts file is correct. thanks...

Well, I mentioned not only error, but also quality. I reviewed your translation, but quality wasn't so good :( By the way, can you talk me with email? Your English is hard to read, so I want to talk with you in Korean. Mine is <removed>.

Just a tip: you need to press CTRL+ENTER on each translated string to mark it as translated, or else it will remain with a question mark. Also, try to use Qt Linguist's features to check the assigned key accelerators and punctuation marks. These features help maintain the consistency of your translation quite a bit.

[kangmin]

Thanks for your help I can finish my job

there's some missing char. like comma...

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

Dear kangmin and peremen. Great, now I have two different Korean translations :) To be serious, I don't have any knowledge of Korean at all in order to choose a better one. So, please give me a single version. I suggest you that peremen will take the kangmin's .ts files, check and make necessary corrections when it is essential. And yes, you can now contact each other directly by e-mail, so please continue the Korean translation related discussion in private. Thank you.

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

hron84 and JJK, thank you very much for your work. However, I have a few remarks on your translations.

To both hron84 and JJK: you took too old translation templates, so your translations are slightly outdated -- you will have to download your .ts files directly from SVN once they appear there and re-translate outdated translation items.

To horn84: please use Qt Linguist 3.x if possible -- I'm not completely sure that Qt Linguist 4 generates 100% backward compatible .ts files, so something may theoretically not work. Also, I stripped off the _HU suffix from file names and removed the country name because it seemed to me that Hungarian language is the same everywhere and doesn't vary depending on the country of usage. If you disagree, please object here. Also, the translation file you've attached contains "Garami Gábor" as the author which doesn't match George Hron. I cannot accept your translation until I've got some reasonable explanation.

To JJK: It looks like you used some text editor to translate the .ts file directly instead of Qt Linguist -- that is possible but makes your life harder. And as a result, there are some errors in your translation like incorrect escaping of special HTML characters (e.g. line #116 in VirtualBox_fi.ts) that results into English text being used instead of the tranlsated one for those items. My suggestion is that you start from the beginning: take a fresh copy of VirtualBox_xx_YY.ts, open it in the Qt Designer and copy-paste there all translations you've already made from the old VirtualBox_fi.ts. Taking into account that you've just started your translation this should be the easiest way to fix all those incorrect escaping errors. Agree?
