Translations

[Gregor]

I could help translating the twister to german, if there should be more languages than english only.
I helped translating many OSS projects, contact me if I can help.

Hi Gregor,

That would be great! the only problem is that i don't know how is the standard method for localizing webapps (if any).

For normal desktop apps we could use gettext and all translatable strings are automatically collected for easing the localization. The runtime also takes care of using the right strings depending or your locale.

The current HTML twister UI has no such thing. I don't know gettext equivalent for html/js.

regards,

Miguel

I don't know, maybe by getting localized Text from xml,db or somewhat by JS?


getLocalizedString(int strid, int langid)
->en.xml = langid 1
->de.xml = langid 2

-->en.xml[id] in case of id = 1 -> "Hello"
-->de.xml[id] in case of id = 1 -> "Hallo"

getLocalizedString(2, 1) --> returns "Hallo"

A little Pseudo, but I think you know what I mean

[Miguel Freitas]

Gregor,

Yes, i understand. I know it is doable like you said.  

It is just that i don't want to neither reinvent the wheel nor transform the code into a mess...

regards,

Miguel

Miguel: I found a jQuery plugin for localisation, and another JS way. Take a look ;)

There's also Polyglot.js which is open-sourced by AirBnB:  https://github.com/airbnb/polyglot.js

It has some more advanced options for plurals and default values.

Check this plugin: http://belelros.github.io/jqueryTranslator/

"jQueryTranslator is a jQuery plugin which allows developers to translate a static web site easily"

[Wynn Joinder]

I've submitted a pull request to twister-html which would add translations on the web version through Polyglot.js

Languages would be added as JSON to this interface_localization.js file: https://github.com/msjoinder/twister-html/blob/00e5091130eded21fbcf97cf4dc8f342bd1b0487/interface_localization.js

can I just give you a translated wordset here? since I'm not the man who can code it.

[Bastiaan Steinmeier]

Check my pull request with the start for a Dutch translation: https://github.com/msjoinder/twister-html/pull/1

[Miguel Freitas]

People,

I appreciate your translation efforts and i thank you very much. But i'm currently backlogged with other things to fix, both in core and html. You may have noticed there are still things that don't work in some pages (eg. clicking in "@" while in network page doesn't work). This is because the current HTML design/architecture requires me to duplicate a lot of things between pages - this is definitely not a good things in terms of maintainability and it is very error prone. 

Whatever translation we do at this point would probably require translating the same message several times, in different HTMLs. I have not even had a chance to see msjoinder's patch yet (sorry). But i have a feeling we may need to improve the architecture in general before applying this.

regards,

Miguel

Putting everything in one .js file will result in a really biiiiiig file.
Creating
de.xml
en.xml
ru.xml
xy.xml

I think would be the better way.
As I said, I want to help at translating to german [de].

[Wynn Joinder]

Miguel:

I agree that it would be good to have the templates shared somehow between /home.html, and /network.html, and other pages.

Fortunately, the translations in my pull request do not change the HTML - they are in JS / jQuery.  When text is in the HTML on multiple pages, like in the top bar and in the templates, there is one jQuery selector that will work on each page and find those elements.  If you switch to use Ajax to load templates, we can add a function to do the same translations before it is added to the page.

Please examine the pull request and you should see that it is separate from the rest of the interface, when possible. I think adding it at this phase of the project will help it grow, and prevent us from having a larger task later down the road.

Kindest regards,
Wynn

Hi all!
what happened to this affair?
As helper in other translations I would recommend to use https://www.transifex.com/ with .po files for languages so new added strings can easily be followed by translators (just de tool to make the xml, or .po files)

I'm interested in helping out to translate and correct translations to spanish.

As a free network made of networkers... may I start a project in transiflex?
I'd prefer freitas to do this but I suppose as he said, there are many things to do on twister :)

Greetings to all the team and the network!

[Miguel Freitas]

Hi Juan!

This has long been merged! You may contribute translations by directly editing this file:

https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-html/blob/master/js/interface_localization.js

Then contributions may be sent by using the github's pull request mechanism.

regards,

Miguel

Hi Miguel!! nice to talk to you. Great job!

After I posted, i was looking into twister-html and I saw it.

I was just looking how to adapt interface_localization.js to a .pot file cause new strings in english are done, but not in other languages (because there is no overview of the amount of strings / new strings? )

Do you have anything against if I just work around on how to make  a .pot file from the english strings in interface_localization.js so we can check transifex and enhance the translation?

Regards,

Juan Alberto
