Hello Geoserver Users and Developers,
Few weeks ago I've set up a project at crowdin <http://crowdin.net>to get
people involved for translations tasks on the mentioned branch 2.1.x :
http://crowdin.net/project/geoserver-21x
(there already exists an other project for the *trunk *property files at
http://crowdin.net/project/geoserver) but I've no idea whether the
properties in English are up to date). Who can clarify this?
The reason to try this way was the complexity of handling patches and
setting up a development environment for non developers as well as the
process to get commit access.
The 2nd reason is to get forward for ticket
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4294 and there are many people who like
to help but have no SVN/JAVA (properties) and
maven experiences but like to have GeoServer in their native language.
IMHO the barrier to work on translation is a bit lower to get people
involved with such a service. Last but not least, its quite easy
to collaborate because potential translators only
need a gmail or facebook account - or register for free at crowding itself.
Hosting is for free for OS projects!
IMHO its a great PLUS of the crowdin service to get new/deleted properties
(if uploaded new English property files) mentioned in the translation
projects and the completion status
changes as well. The developer itself do not have to synchronize all i18n
files anymore....
Right now the following steps are done:
- registered the project :
- uploaded the property files for
- core,
- security
- wms
- wfs
- wcs and
- demo
- uploaded the already translated property files for
- Spanish (96% completed - THX to Gabriel!)
- Catalan (81% completed)
- Frensh (53% completed) and
- German (100% completed)
Whats next:
- getting properties translated
- export these files to the source structure of SVN and commit these (TODO :
create a script for this step)
- invite or suggest people to get other languages done :)
- Try to find out, which other properties are necessary for a core
GeoServer installation
- getting an idea how to get plugins translated as well
Whats nice to have : ant script/maven plugin to us crowdin API for uploading
new properties and downloading already translated property files
Fell free to have a look at and help on your native language
Feedback much appreciated.
- Frank
