Hi all,
I am interested in translating Gnome into Hindi language ,
I've been translating other programs using Rosetta, an advanced
web-based translation portal which is being developed by Canonical
(Ubuntu Linux's parent company). Rosetta seems an advantageous choice
for Free Software projects like yours, as it allows you to trivially
avoid the legwork involved in making your application available in as
many languages as possible.
With Rosetta, you would just need to publish a ''translation
template'' -.pot file- via a webform when it best suits you (for
example, when your next version is feature complete). Once it is
published in Rosetta, it would be made available to a body of dozens
of Free Software enthusiasts who would be then able to translate it.
When you're ready to release your next version, you would request an
''export' of all the available translations, which you would get in a
tar.gz archive.
I am aware of GNOME translation branch. But the Problem I see is
that many Ubunteors(Ubuntu users) are using Rosetta as Default
translation tool , And Hard work of a lot of people is going waste as
they are Not translating the mainstream version (At Rosetta head.pot
files are quite older as compare to the current head.pot files at
Gnome CVS), They claim unless and until the upstream developer don`t
approve and import the pots file in Rosetta , we could only translate
the current branch supported in Rosetta
Rosetta is under development, and features are being added and
improved every week. It is and will always be free of charge. For me,
it would make translating your application very easy.
You can learn more about Rosetta in <http://launchpad.net/rosetta/>.
Thanks,
Gaurav Mishra
