This directory contains translations for the options of the SANE backends.
|
2002-11-03 16:14:27 +00:00
|
|
|
They are only used if the gettext tools are found by configure.
|
2002-01-24 20:20:51 +00:00
|
|
|
You will need GNU gettext: xgettext, msgfmt and msgmerge. The translations
|
2002-11-03 16:14:27 +00:00
|
|
|
are used at least by the frontends XSane and quiteinsane.

Users: I want to just read the description of SANE options in my language

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|
|
|
Use XSane (>=0.90) or your favourite frontend that supports translations, read
|
|
|
|
|
the documentation and set the environment variable LANG to your local setting.
|
|
|
|
|
Example for German: export LANG=de_DE ; xsane
|
|
|

|
|
|
* cd po ; make update-po
|
2010-02-28 01:51:31 +00:00
|
|
|
* Edit lang.po, add/change translations. (with lang = your
|
2003-02-06 21:26:16 +00:00
|
|
|
language, e.g. "de"). You need an editor that is capable of using the
|
|
|
|
|
encoding UTF8 (unicode).
|
|
|
|
|
* Add your name to the header. Update the "last translator" field.
|
|
|
|
|
* make ; make install

Translators: I want to add a new language

-----------------------------------------

|
|
|
* Add the language code to po/LINGUAS
|
|
|
|
|
* automake (if you have not enabled maintainer mode)
|
2003-02-06 21:26:16 +00:00
|
|
|
* ./configure
|
|
|

* Go ahead with "I want to update existing translations".

Backend developers: I want to add internationalization support for my backend
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Edit the source code of the backend and add SANE_I18N to the appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
strings. Mark the descriptions (desc) and titles of options with
|
|
|
|
|
SANE_I18N(). Do the same for string lists used in options. The name of
|
|
|
|
|
options must NOT be marked. Do NOT mark macros. Especially you don't need
|
|
|
|
|
to mark standard option strings like SANE_TITLE_NUM_OPTIONS as this is
|
|
|
|
|
already done in saneopts.h.
|
|
|
|
|
Examples: s->opt[5].title = SANE_I18N("Enhancement");
|
|
|
|
|
#define STANDARD_FORMAT SANE_I18N("a4 Paper")
|
2016-06-25 23:49:14 +00:00
|
|
|
* Edit po/POTFILES.in. Add all source code files that contain strings marked
|
2011-01-31 19:43:15 +00:00
|
|
|
by SANE_I18N() to that file.
|
2003-02-06 21:26:16 +00:00
|
|
|
* If you want to also add a new language, see above.
|
|
|
|
|
* ./configure
|
|
|
|
|
* See "Update existing translations" or "Add a new language".

Frontend developers: I want to add internationalization support for my frontend
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The Makefile installs files called "sane-backends.mo" in the directory
|
|
|
|
|
"$(prefix)/share/locale/lang/LC_MESSAGES/", e.g.:
|
|
|
|
|
"/usr/local/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/sane-backends.mo". For every
|
|
|
|
|
language exactly one .mo file is installed. Earlier releases of
|
|
|
|
|
sane-backends installed one file per backend, e.g. sane-umax.mo. For
|
|
|
|
|
backward compatibility, frontends may want to check for these files, also.
|
2017-05-27 05:27:22 +00:00
|
|
|
* As mentioned above, GNU gettext is used.
|
2003-02-06 21:26:16 +00:00
|
|
|
* With other NLS implementations, converting the mo files may work.
