Move documentation translations to Transifex

[hamish]

Hi,

if the translators can provide the words, I thought it might be nice to translate the Geospatial menu (Web Services etc) and desktop icons into the various languages.

if trac can handle the chars, post the the word list as a comment to this ticket; if that's problematic, post them as an attachment to this ticket.

thanks, Hamish

Spanish translation

Geospatial = Geoespacial
Browser Clients = Clientes ligeros
Crisis management = Gestión de crisis
Databases = Bases de datos
Desktop GIS = SIG de Escritorio
Navigation and Maps = Navegación y mapas
Spatial Tools = Herramientas espaciales
Web Services = Servicios Web

Hamish, I suggest that we build the menus from a file in subversion, which can be maintained by the various translation communities over time.

If we put the source translation file into say doc/<lang>/menu_names.csv file, then it will fit quite well into our translation process.

Replying to camerons:

we already do. see the gisvm/desktop-conf/xfce/*.directory files.

which can be maintained by the various translation communities over time.

I just meant to commit the initial bunch. After that it should be obvious where new translations should go.

If we put the source translation file into say doc/<lang>/menu_names.csv file, then it will fit quite well into our translation process.

Shrug, sure, why not. I'd suspect that would be some duplication of effort, and the categories won't really change through time. However, where to apply them might change so a single+central location for the translators to quickly run through could be helpful for them.

processing a multi-language utf-8 file with grep et al might be a nightmare to have them apply by script, but I'm sure we can figure something out. On the other hand, for that reason it may just be simpler to point people to the desktop-conf/ dir.

pros, cons....

best, Hamish
