| |
| − | Thank you for your interest in contributing user interface translations to the
| |
| − | AtoM project! Your contributions help to make AtoM a multilingual application
| |
| − | with a global reach.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In our continuing efforts to make the process of translating the AtoM interface
| |
| − | more efficient, Artefactual Systems has moved from its previous translation
| |
| − | service, [https://www.transifex.com/ Transifex] to [https://www.weblate.org/ Weblate], an open source web-based translation management system supporting
| |
| − | continuous translation from multiple sources. More than one translator can
| |
| − | contribute translated strings, making the process fast and easy, and
| |
| − | enabling Artefactual Systems to publish translations more often. Everything is
| |
| − | web-based using Weblate, meaning you can access your translation work via any
| |
| − | web browser.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This page will introduce you to the AtoM Weblate translation project, so that
| |
| − | you can sign up and begin contributing translations. If you have contributed
| |
| − | through Transifex in the past, you will need to open a new account with Weblate
| |
| − | to continue contributing.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | From the '''Language''' navigation tab, choose the languages you wish to translate and those you want to follow. Your primary languages are the languages you wish to translate. They will show up on your dashboard as "Watched languages" when you log in or navigate to the dashboard. Secondary languages are languages whose translations you want to follow. Strings that have been translated in these languages will appear on the translation page (see [[#Begin translating]]). When you have made your selections, click '''Save'''. You can change these settings at any time but clicking on the language links to add or delete from the primary and secondary language choices.

| |
| − | <admonition type="important"> Please review the options available in the list prior to requesting a new language! In many cases, we have had requests for different locales (for example, requesting "fr_FR" for France French, instead of working in the existing "fr" French project), but AtoM does not always support these very well. If at all possible, please work within the existing projects, or try to select the most generic option, without locale codes. We'll work with you if there are no other options, of course - but if you can avoid using a specific locale, it will make merging and maintaining your translations in AtoM much easier!

| − | '''6.''' To contribute translations in one of your primary languages, click on the <code>Translate</code> button to the right of that language from your dashboard. This will take you to the '''Overview''' screen of the main translation page for that language. Here you will see links that can take you to the general translation screen or to filtered sets of strings for translation.

| |
| − | '''7.''' Clicking on the <code>Translate</code> button or one of the filtered sets will take you to the translation page. The default view is '''Zen''' mode - a simplified screen in which you see a list consisting of the source string, source string comment and translations from secondary language choices if you have any, and a field in which to enter the translation in your chosen language. In the screenshot below you see that the language chosen for translation is Czech and the secondary language is Austrian German.

| |
| − | '''8.''' You can also translate in several languages simultaneously. To do so, choose any of your primary languages from the dashboard, choose <code>Translate</code> or any preferred filtered set, and exit '''Zen''' mode. You can then enter your translation in the primary language, and by scrolling down to <code>Other languages</code> enter or edit translations for that same string in as many languages as you like/code> to the right of the translation field for each language. If you do not want to edit the string that is offered, click on <code>Skip</code> in the main translation box. Move to the next string by clicking the counter at the top of the screen.
