547386 - [it] Localize opentochoice.org website

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites Graveyard :: opentochoice.org, defect)

Description

[Seth Bindernagel]

Due date:  February 22, 2010.  18:00 UTC

Opentochoice.org site is ready for translation.  This is a Wordpress installation, so we have installed a Wordpress plugin to make translation easy.  You can see all the strings available for translation of the theme here http://opentochoice.stage.mozilla.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=sitepress-multilingual-cms/menu/string-translation.php#icl-st-toggle-translations  Around 50 strings are ready for translation.

To translate the site using the WPML tool, you need to open the page listed above and click "translations" next to the string you want to work on.  Scroll down to your locale and enter the translation.  Once translated, you need to check "translation complete".  You can preview your work at http://opentochoice.stage.mozilla.com/?lang=<locale> where <locale> is a short code (e.g. en, es, fr. (no country party)).

Earlier this week, you may have translated, or have begun translating, a letter from John and Mitchell about the Choice campaign.  For the letter translation, you may upload it here: http://opentochoice.stage.mozilla.com/wp-admin/edit.php 

It goes without saying, but while translating, please be careful not to delete other locales' translations.  And, of course, you should be extra careful not delete the English post.  If you need any help, please contact us.

Please don't upload .po files through the Wordpress interface, it's very easy to break stuff this way. Or if you really have to, please ping me on IRC first :)

Please either use the web panel at
http://opentochoice.stage.mozilla.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=sitepress-multilingual-cms/menu/string-translation.php or attach the PO file to this bug.

Thanks.

Hey guys, any updates? We'd love to go live with Italian tonight. It's 52 strings, could you take a look at them today?

You can use http://opentochoice.stage.mozilla.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=sitepress-multilingual-cms/menu/string-translation.php.

Attachment 428120 [details] from the tracking bug 546713 has the POT file for your convenience, too. If you go with it, please attach it to this bug.

Thanks!

Sorry. I don't know why, but I was sure that the site would have gone online tomorrow. I'm working on it right now.

You might be right, I'm checking with Irina right now. But, would still be great to have Italian ready today :)

Thanks, Iacopo.

The plan is to have them go live very late tonight.

Attachment: Website translation

I think I can manage the upload of a .po file, anyway I've attached it to the bug.

Sorry for the delay, but I had a sudden family problem.

If you're going to add it yourself, you'll probably need to split the file into 3 different files and upload each one separately, for each of the 3 context. I have a script that splits the original file automatically, so that's why I can do this.

Let me upload the file and then if you need to make corrections, maybe you could just use http://opentochoice.stage.mozilla.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=sitepress-multilingual-cms/menu/string-translation.php ?

I knew I should have added three different .po files in the upload process, is quite clear if you look at the UI.
Anyway, I know that I already have some experience with .po files and WP that others don't necessary have, so you did well asking localizers to upload the file here to avoid any mistake, and I did that ;)

heh, sorry Iacopo, hope you don't mind my 5-minutes-before-launch paranoia ;))

I uploaded the translations and http://opentochoice.stage.mozilla.com/it/ looks good.

We had a last-minute change to the privacy policy checkbox. I'll update the tracking bug in a minute.

[Iacopo Benesperi [:iacchi]]

Yes, everything looks good. Ok for the change to the privacy policy checkbox: I prefer to leave a link in English if it points to an English page but the translation maybe is better.

Don't warry for the paranoia, it's normal ;)
