Re: [epf-dev] Contributing with translations
|
Hi Ricardo, Alberto,
We need some translation ware to support this. As part of EPF or as an external tool/utility. The objective of doing translation work should be to produce a translated library together with the original library. I think it can be done with some translation ware similar to what RMC offers.
I don't think IBM has plans to backport the translation code from RMC to EPF. Can we ask IBM to donate the code? If IBM is not willing to donate I think we (the EPF community) should produce it ourselves.
IMHO EPF Wiki is not the right way to approach this because the objective should be to produce a translated library.
Best Regards,
Onno

Alberto, thank you for your interest in
the project.
We typically suggest people interested
in translating content that they use the EPF Wiki. There is an OpenUP SP
wiki site, as you said, that is partially translated. I agree with you
that it has old structure, but I wonder if you have assessed how much can
be reused from that site.
As a next step, I would suggest this
current site to be renamed to OpenUP/Basic SP - I'd keep it there for reuse
purposes.
Then I would suggest adding a brand
new OpenUP SP wiki (published out of the most current English content)
so you and the community can start translating it to Spanish. There is
always a chance, as you mentioned, that the content may become obsolete
when new (English) versions come up, although I suspect the practices content
is clean and stable enough, so rework would be minimal in that case.
Onno van der Straaten could kindly help
us by adding this new wiki site. (Note: it would be convenient to publish
OpenUP using the Spanish version of EPFC so you get the basic UI elements
already translated).
Paulo Moreira has tons of experience
translating - and leading translation effort of - the OpenUP content to
Portuguese, and could kindly share some ideas.
Best Regards.

PS: As a side note, IBM has Rational
Method Composer as a commercial offering based on EPF Composer, which provides
a feature to export HTML content out of a library, so it can be translated
and imported back. Also, RMC comes ready with content translated for different
languages including Spanish.

[epf-dev] Contributing
with translations

Hello,
I would like to contribute to the translation of the latest version of
OpenUP into spanish. But I am having a hard time finding information about
this.
I found an OpenUP wiki in spanish (http://epf.eclipse.org/wikis/openupsp/index.htm
)
but it seems to be an old version of the library, as it says OpenUP/Basic
and has a different image in the Introduction page.
I downloaded EPF Composer and the latest OpenUP library. I setup a local
Mercurial repository and started translating from the EPF Composer and
commiting my progress locally. But it is a very tedious work and I am afraid
that it will not be compatible with newer versions of the library or that
I could not share it back to the community because I am not using the recommended
(?) way of doing it.
Questions:
Is there an easier way of translating than from EPF Composer? for example,
is there a file that contains all the text separated from the source code
of the library. i mean something like a "language file" that
is commonly used if open source PHP programs.
Is there a published wiki for spanish with the latest version of OpenUP
to start contributing online?
Where can I find information to help in the translation into spanish of
the OpenUP library?
Greetings,
