Translation into rumantsch

[Gion-Andri Cantieni]

Hello,
we are a little group of rumantsch
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romansh_language) people. We want to
translate some software into rumantsch. We made an xpi of Firefox 3.0
that works quite well. We think about to translate some other software
too (like OpenOffice or Thunderbird).

But now we have a problem: We don't now exactly how to update a
translation to a newer version. Translate only with compare text-files
is to complicated, particularly for working in a little group. A friend
of a friend made some “magic” with po-files, what works quite well. But
I have no idea how he did it. And didn't understand the manuals I found
on the internet.

But I saw the pootle-server. Is there a public version on the internet
where we could also upload and work with the rumantsch-translation?
Where someone would make the “update-stuff” and we only could translate?
Or what could you recommend us?

Thank you for some tips (and excuse my terrible english, I think I
should make a course one day...)

Hallo Gion-Andri

I'm not sure exactly which documentation you consulted. The most
up-to-date documentation to use PO files to translate Mozilla programs
is here:
http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/mozilla_l10n_scripts

Feel free to ask on the translate-devel mailing list if you have any
questions. Asking here will probably also get you answers from people
using this approach.

You can join the translate-devel mailing list here if you want:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/translate-devel

Walter has been building POT files that you can use to update your PO
files, and they are usually available here:
http://l10n.mozilla.org/pootle/

I can't currently get there to give you a more precise URL, but I'm sure
you can find it from there.


Keep well
Friedel
