Hi,
I think i can complete at least some documentation in spanish(i looked
over the online documentation in spanish, it's incomplete), i did pull
the whole GIMP docs out of GIT, it's a big file and i have found the
spanish files. Any viewer/editor will work just fine? And i identify the
way to edit it, seems easy. Then after making some translations, how can
i submit it to GIT?
I suppose you are using Linux (under Windows, you have to use cygwin to
emulate Linux...).
Once your local copy of gimp-help is downloaded, open a console, go to
the gimp-help-2 directory :
- run :
./autogen.sh --without-gimp
This will give you the possibility of validating your translations,
creating html and pdf files.
- Update your local copy ( of course, not necessary just after
downloading it) : git pull
- update pot files : make pot
- update your es po files: make po-es
Then you can work on your po files. For that, you can use a specialised
editor like kbabel, or a text editor (Kate or Gedit...).
Once some files are translated, you must validate them:
make validate-es
You must get a "no error" message. If not, you have to correct the
concerned files.
You can now create html files, so that you can see the result of your
translation as gimp users will see it:
make html-es.
When all is right, translators usually send a patch to a maintainer. But
for the moment, I prefer you send me some translated, validated files
directly.
