Hello all
We have started the Debian Description Translation Server.
We start the translating of all package description and the server
support now four languages (de, fr, it and pt_BR).
The server started 9 weeks ago with german and the other languages started
1-2 Weeks ago. The German translation group has now translated 20% of
all Package descriptions from sid/main/binary-i386. The other
languages are at the beginning and need more help.
How can you help?
-----------------
You can translate some descriptions. Send a mail to
grisu-td-<langposfix>@auric.debian.org
with the subject
GET 1 <langpostfix>
(substitute '<langpostfix>' with de, fr, it or pt_BR)
The server will send you a guide with more information and one
untranslated description. Read the guide, translate the description
and send it back.
How can I start a new language?
-------------------------------
Now the server support only this four languages. If you will start a
new languages, ask grisu zavinac debian bod org
How can we use this translations?
---------------------------------
We have set up aptable translated Packages files. Add to
source.lists:
deb http://gluck.debian.org/~grisu/description_translation/aptable
<langpostfix>/woody main
(or sid or potato ...)
Now we have only i386 Packages files. On request I can translate more
Packages files.
Is more help needed?
--------------------
Yes.
We need help to:
- move the translated Packages files to ftp-master and the mirrors
- patch APT (with a option, that download Package-<langpostfix>
files?)
- maybe add real multilanguages support to APT and co.
Gruss
Grisu
