Hey hey,

i started to localize my 'local repo manager' [1][3] and i just speak 1.5 languages, so i need some help to translate it. It would be great, if some of you guys would do that!

What is done? * en as default gettext language (needs to be reviewed) * de

What have to be done? * as many languages as possible

Interrested people should read the README [2]. There is a short description of some few steps (clone, add, test). Its important to checkout the devel branch before doin anything.

Thank you very much, ushi

Suggestion: you could provide translations strings in Transifex, so translators would have an easier way to follow the progress of translation and to deliver translations to you (instead of many emails for all languages). IMO, it is a very nice solution. And if I'm not wrong, it is free for opensource projects. In archlinux we have three examples: pacman [1], AUR [2] and srcpac [3].

btw, I volunteer myself to translate to portuguese (brazil).

Cheers,

Rafael

Well it isin't that hard to do clone the repo in github and and setup up git on your machine and push the trabslation to github :D

I think thats true. But why no making it as easy as possible for translators?

Yep, that's the idea.

Hmm, ok. I think it's done. GitHub users can do: fork -> add -> pull request Transifex users can contribute here: https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/local-repo/r/local-repo-1-4/ Hope everything is set up fine...

Looks good. Translation for pt_BR is done.

Yay, thank you! Is already pushed. Is there a big difference between the 'generic' portuguese und brazil portuguese? If not, i going to move pt_BR to pt. What do you think?

Hello,

Sweet project, i am making something like your local repo in lua, but mine will have some build options and keep a clean PKGBUILD dir by warping makepkg with my LuaBash[1] library

Good luck with yours, but i think having langueges on this type of app is unecessary, since is almost certain that most of this app userbase will have suficient english. I personally just prefer english (i am portuguese) over my native language. I dont even bother making a portuguese version, its just unnecessery work, instead i prefer a solid english that everyone can understand.

On your app is even more evident that english should the only language, since you target Arch Linux users and all of them need to know english to at least read the wiki and man pages properly.

I once tried to make translations but it only became a mess to maintain when everyone just prefers english. In the world of today we all should be talking the same language already.

Anyways, this is just my opinion. You can (and you should, we have the right to disagre) take a diferent view on this, anyways i wish you luck.

Hey Alfredo, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think you are right with

In the world of today we all should be talking the same language already.

and i think this language should be english (with some fancy influences from other languages), because the english language is quite simple and easy to learn. But this is a bit ignorant from me and from you. I could imagine that it is pretty hard for some people to learn this language and prefer another one. Btw it is not reality at the moment. I often read things like 'sorry for my bad english' and stuff - in the forums, ml and irc. So i think it is nice to give those users a chance to use an app without a dictionary. That arch users need to read|write|speak some english is true, because they will fail at the AIF and the config files if not. But behind that a big part of arch is localized, see core apps like pacman and makepkg. And that makes things easier for people, having problems with english, i think they feel more welcome. The additional workload for me is not that much. I figured out that transifex and the awesome translators (thx!) does the most stuff for me, i only have to push the new language files. Another personal thing is, that this is a great experience for me - feeling the strength of the arch community. Some stranger from the web asks people for doin things for him and they reply with 'i did it'. That is great. But this has nothing to do with our discussion... So thanks for your thoughts, ushi
