How to translate JUpload ?

GENERAL PRESENTATION

This directory contains the translation stuff for JUpload. JUpload is used for two main open source developpement:

So the translation part also contains two parts:

1. The text for the applet itself. The original text is encoded in UTF-16, and stored in the /wwwroot/translation directory. The text is then encoded in Unicode by the /wwwroot/translation/build_translation.xml and script, to be embedded into the applet. It's a java property file, filled with lines like: property = the translated text
2. The text for the PHP part, specific to the JUpload Coppermine plugin. It's a PHP file, that fills an array. It contains an array initialization, like this:

   	$lang_jupload_php = array_merge (
   		$lang_jupload_php,
   		array(
   		  'link_comment' => 'Upload files to the gallery, with the help of an applet',
   		  ...
   		)
   	);
   

2) HOWTO TRANSLATE

For all translaters: Please also check/translate the Coppermine part, even if you don't use it. This will allow the plugin to be used by more and more people.

The list of existing translations is available here (local package) and the reference is available translations (on SVN).

Where are the original files ?

The files are stored in the text subdirectory:

File encoding

To allow an easier management of characters specific to each languages (accents...), applet files are stored in UTF-16. The Coppermine files are in UTF-8, and I cant't change that. The file are publish in an HTML page, itself encoded in UTF-16.

How to publish a new translation

1. Please keep this UTF-16 file encoding, or publish files in a RTF document
.
2. Check the available translations (on SVN)
3. If your language exists, please update the existing translation. All missing text is indicated there, in a comment, with the corresponding English translation. You just have to uncomment the line (remove the # at the beginning of the line), and translate the English text behind. Please also translate/check the Coppermine translation, even if you don't use it.
4. If your language doesn't exist, please start from the English language, on the link below: lang.html (on SVN)
5. To avoid any problem with character encoding, the easiest way is to save file as an RTF document.
6. Get the last English translation for the two files below, translate them, and send them to my sourceforge mail address

3) HOW DOES THE TRANSLATION build.xml SCRIPT WORKS

All the material for JUpload translation is stored, in the /wwwroot/translation folder. This contains:
