Spanish translation

[artehuru]

Hello,

I have just joined the ubiquity world.. :)
I would like to translate ubiquity commands to the Spanish language.
And I wonder if someone is doing this task. I have checked the source
files and I did not find anything.

Thanks for your comments.
Regards

Welcome to Ubiquity! And yes, we'd love to get Spanish localizations
for our commands!

The Spanish parser settings that we have now were contributed by
someone named kelopez, but I do not have any contact information for
them. I have not heard of anyone else starting work on the Spanish
commands yet. If you'd like to get started, here's a tutorial which
will walk you through the process [1]. Ubiquity command localization
is done through po files, so if you've done any unix localization work
before (or even if you haven't!) it should be very straightforward.

Feel free to ask on this list if you have any questions. :)

Gracias,

mitcho

Hi, I would like to help with the spanish translation, but I lack any experience in projects like this. Waiting for instructions...

Hi Roberto,

I would recommend you translating from the original language
(English), since despite Catalan and Spanish are close languages,
there are differences in localization styles, or simply the
conventions used... Of course, you can always take a look at Catalan
when translating when you spot a difficult term. When I translate from
English to Catalan I actually do it myself (peeping at Spanish, French
and other Romance languages translations).
I contacted Mozilla Hispano (http://www.mozilla-hispano.org/) guys
some time ago (I think someone is in this list) regarding Ubiquity
localization. IMHO, the most important issue in command localization
would be deciding the verb tense to be used: Catalan and Italian use
imperative and Portuguese (and I suppose Spanish as well) use
infinitive.
http://mitcho.com/blog/link/ubiquity-in-portuguese/
http://www.yetanothertechblog.com/2009/03/08/thinking-ubiquity-in-italian/
Synonyms would be another important aspect, specially if the
translation could be used in different Spanish variants.

If you browse the archive of this group, you will find some more
details about how localizing Ubiquity commands (in PO format).

Cheers!

But in the PO files i have downloades with the catalan translation, is there too the english original text.

So there is no difference, i guess, translate from scratch or translate from other translation; isn't it?
the content of the file i have downloaded is:
ca/
ca/builtincmds.po
ca/calendar.po
ca/developer.po
ca/email.po
ca/firefox.po
ca/general.po
ca/map.po
ca/pageedit.po
ca/social.po
ca/search.po


are those files enough?

Cheers

Yes, you are right.
Just as advice, when translating, try to have as model present Firefox
UI translation.
I would also suggest you, when you finish translating them, to send
your work to http://www.proyectonave.es/colabora so you could have
feedback from other people.

Yes, these are the ones currently translatable:

Hi,

I want to start to translate files for ubiquity, so please before start any translation,  let me know which files are you going to do to avoid do the same job two times.

I will start with general.po and firefox.po.

Thanks and regards

I agree. I will start with builtincmds.po and calendar.po

I was looking for a public server with pootle installed to put the
files ang begin the translation, but there isn't. Pootle is a project
to translate po files i met in debian. It may be usefull not only for
spanish translation but for all i18n team.

In the other hand. I have read https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Ubiquity/Parser_2/Localization_Tutorial
.In order to have a total spanish translation we need to create a
localized parser, isn't?

I read the http://ubiquity.mozilla.com/trac/attachment/ticket/662/ca-parser.diff
and I found a es.js in ubiquity-firefox/ubiquity/modules/parser/new
folder. But this diff do not apply to the lastest code, i guess.

Regards.

["mitcho (Michael 芳貴 Erlewine)"]

Hi all,

It's great to see all the interest in getting a Spanish localization
together! ^^

Yes, it's true that you can do the translation based on the blank pot
files (po template) [1] or any other languages' files, like Catalan.
Either way, the source messages (msgid) will be in English.

[1] https://ubiquity.mozilla.com/hg/ubiquity-firefox/file/tip/ubiquity/localization/templates

The command localization tutorial will help all of you localize your
commands and test them [2].

Yes, there is indeed already an es.js language setting file in
Ubiquity [3]. This file was originally submitted by a contributor
named kelopez. Of course, if you all have suggestions for improvements
to the parser settings, please let me know.

[3] https://ubiquity.mozilla.com/hg/ubiquity-firefox/file/tip/ubiquity/modules/parser/new/es.js

Roberto, we unfortunately don't have a Pootle repository set up right
now. If there is interest in using such a system for collaborative
localization, we could set it up.

Please keep this list (ubiq i18n) updated on Spanish localization
progress, and feel free to ask questions here. I'll look forward to
adding your localizations to Ubiquity soon!

Hi, in Mozilla hispano (hispanic community site) we have a pootle
repository. I will contact administrator to apload the files. He is in
holidays, but meaybe some other could help.

Here are the translated files.

I will continue with developer.po and email.po

Please, can you review the translation?

I have localized the examples (in calendar.po) with Spanish classic names.
 
i don't know the meaning of the word 'vita' in builtincmd.po, so i translated it into "vida".

Cheers.

[Roberto Muñoz]

2009/7/20 Roberto Muñoz <munoz....@gmail.com>

I will continue with developer.po and email.po

The promised files.
 

I will continue with map.po and pageedit.po

Cheers.

[Roberto Muñoz]

2009/7/20 Roberto Muñoz <munoz....@gmail.com>

 Here are.

Next one, the two last: search.po and social.po

I have uploaded in http://ubiquity.mozilla.com/trac/ticket/662 a new version of the spanish parser. The original in the hg repo failed to load.

To test it i have to change te value in about:config because is not shown in about:ubiquity.


Right now i have found it, i change the ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/extensions/ubiq...@labs.mozilla.com/chrome/content/settings.js and in the line 72 add the "es" code.


After all of this. The next step is to translate the about:ubiquity page.

How can we accomplish that?

[isabel romero navarro]

Hi,

Just a vocabulary question,
how would you translate: bookmarklet?

Thanks!

nice job to the spanish translators!

bookmark = marcador

maybe a word ending in -let is sort of a diminutive?

No habla español, but I believe that the word "bookmarklet" comes from
"bookmark" + "applet", which is "application" + diminutive. So
"bookmarklet" isn't "a small bookmark" but "a small application in a
bookmark" (I was very confused about this the first time I heard the
term). Maybe that will help you find a good Spanish translation for
it?

P.S. I'm very very happy that you guys are working on a Spanish
translation! Hooray!

The last two files.

Please, review specially the order in the search.po the Amazon Index. I translated it without reordering it.

Please let me know any problem with the files.

Thanks so much for all your help!
I will take all these .po files and merge them into the repository for
testing today.
--Jono

2009/7/21 Roberto Muñoz <munoz....@gmail.com>:

[Jono]

I just added Spanish to the drop-down menu in the Settings page, to
make this easier to test (i.e. no more need to edit about:config to
set the language to Spanish). I also added in the .po files that have
been attatched to this thread so far. The changes are comitted in
this revision:

https://ubiquity.mozilla.com/hg/ubiquity-firefox/rev/1e8f6c07a35a

So anyone who is running from source checkout can now pull, update,
and try out the Spanish localization. If you speak Spanish, please
try it out and check for any errors.

We are now just waiting for firefox.po and general.po; once Isabel is
done with those, we will have all the standard feed commands
localized! Hooray!

Thanks so much to everyone who helped out in this thread, especially Roberto!

Hola Guillermo:

You only have to follow
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Ubiquity/Ubiquity_0.5_Command_Localization_Tutorial#Testing_your_localizations

And then restart the browser. If at start, Ubiquity shows a "Setup
Error" maybe is because you are using the old parser. I submit a new
parser in http://ubiquity.mozilla.com/trac/attachment/ticket/662/es.js
which work perfectly for me. You only have to overwrite the old one
you have in modules/parser/new/ directory.

Espero tus correcciones.
Thanks.

[Jono]

I've added the new es.js parser file from ticket 662 and added it to
the repository, replacing the broken one.
Thanks again!
--Jono

["mitcho (Michael 芳貴 Erlewine)"]

Guillermo,

If you do not want to edit the files in your profile directly to test,
another option is to get the latest source version from our hg
repository. This requires hg. Instructions are here:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Ubiquity/Ubiquity_0.1_Development_Tutorial

¡Gracias Guillermo!

mitcho (Michael 芳貴 Erlewine)

[Guillermo Movia]

Thanks all!

Working now in spanish. At least, twitter command seems to work :)

I copy the files to es folder. Maybe later I could test the mercurial version.

By the way, which do you think could be the best way to discuss
localizations? This list or getsatisfaction site?

["mitcho (Michael 芳貴 Erlewine)"]

Guillermo,

I would recommend disussing localizations (both from a user's point of
view and from developers') on this list for now. If anyone is bothered
by the recently increased traffic on this list, I encourage them to
try getting the digest.

Great, thanks!

Hi!

Today i update to 0.5.1 and search info about translation
(localization). Now i can see that Roberto did and excelent job.
Thanks to you and all other people at the project.

My suggestion is about the "email" command. When you write email in
english you see the suggestion "(to contact)", in spanish you should
see "(a contacto)" or "(para contacto)" instead you see "(hacia
contacto)", that is... not friendly :P
I've seen that "hacia" is the first goal on es.js, could it be the
problem?

Thanks again,

Pablo
