[Translators] Fwd: Re: [vlc-devel] VLC media player localization

[Christoph Miebach]

Hello!

I put this on the translators list, for I think this is the better place 
for discussing it.

Maybe some of the translators want to comment on the topic as well.

If you have an acceptable internet connection, I'd suggest you try the 
transifex online translating tool.

You can lock/unlock a translation, to notify others you are working on 
it. It should be possible to use your approach (one starts at the top, 
the other one at the end).

If there is a different language you prefer as source (and the 
translation already exists), you can have it displayed as well.
So you won't have to rely on English alone.

Feel free to ask if I missed any important points.
Me or someone else here will probably be able to help.

Best regards

Christoph

Hi Christoph, Chidanand

Thank you, Chidanand for joining us.
Till now I have just completed 2%. I uploaded the file in my Google
Drive and shared it with you. Check your email for the link.

Chidanand, download that file and translate from last and I'll do from
first. After translating one string, it'll go down to the last. So if
you want to correct a translated string, then search it from last. And
upload it.

Christoph, is there any other way to do this in a efficient manner? If
there is any, please suggest us, so that we can move to that method
rather than using Google Drive.

Regards,
Prasannajit Acharya

             I want to translate VLC media player in Odia language. Can 
I get

         I think Odia is a different name for Oriya. You can chose how it
         will be
         displayed on videolan's website.

         Variant A:
         ----------
         You can find the .pot file to translate here:
         http://git.videolan.org/?p=__vlc.git;a=blob_plain;f=po/vlc.__pot
         <http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob_plain;f=po/vlc.pot>

         Save it as vlc.pot. You can find instructions on how to
         translate here:
         http://www.videolan.org/__developers/i18n/vlc-howto.html
         <http://www.videolan.org/developers/i18n/vlc-howto.html>

         Use the software poEdit to edit the .pot file. You can find
         poEdit here:
         http://www.poedit.net/

         Save your modified file with all translations as or.po (or is the
         language code for Oriya), and then send it me.

         Variant B:
         ----------
         I could also offer you the choice of using transifex. You would
         have to
         create an account there and request the creation of a team for your
         language here (only if you _want_ to use transifex):

         https://www.transifex.net/__projects/p/vlc-trans/
         <https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/vlc-trans/>

         Some thoughts on this service:
         http://www.videolan.org/__developers/i18n/transifex-__howto.html
         <http://www.videolan.org/developers/i18n/transifex-howto.html>

         ----------

         There is a special mailing list for translations on videolan:
         translators at videolan.org <mailto:translators at videolan.org>

         Best regards

         Christoph
