Translating

OpenPSA uses the NemeinLocalization library for handling translations. Use the following instructions to translate the package to your local language:

If your language is not configured into NemeinLocalization, it needs to be added to snippet /NemeinLocalization/init array $nemeinlocalization_languages. The format is the following:

"Polish" => Array ("library" => "pl", "locale" => "pl_PL", "localname" => "Polski", "encoding" => "ISO-8859-2"),

Please send this line to us so we can include it to the NemeinLocalization distribution!
Once language is configured in, just log in to the OpenPSA Manager tool, click the "Localization Tool" link on the left-hand navigation bar and select your language
You will be presented with a list of localization libraries. When you select a localization library the editable strings will appear in a web form. Translate all strings in the libraries and commit the changes
Once the translation is complete you need to enable it as selection in Aegir. For this, again edit snippet /NemeinLocalization/ini array $nemeinlocalization_available The format is the following:

"English","Finnish","Polish","My Language"

We will make the same addition in the official NemeinLocalization distribution once your complete language library is added into the OpenPSA distribution
Choose the language from the login screen, and test the translation thoroughly.
Once the translation is complete send it to us in repligard package for inclusion into the main distribution:
- Check the database ID for snippetdir localization libraries (listed in the Localization Tool)
- Export that language with repligard
- Send the exported package to us
OpenPSA is available in your local language!

After this the language library needs to be kept updated with new OpenPSA releases. A good way to ensure that is to monitor the CVS commit mailing list.
