Translate a list of words for the Language Activities.

[imiolek-ireneusz]

Help needed please with a translation of lists of words for the Word Building/Matching activities so they can be enabled in all available languages. Currently, that's 5 types of activities with 12 categories of words in each of them - 60 language activities that are not displayed in some languages. There are 585 rather simple words to translate. Translations are needed in the following languages:

• Catalan - 493 out of 585 words used from GCompris
• Spanish - 505 out of 585 words used from Gcompris
• Finnish - 492 out of 585 words used from GCompris
• Hebrew - 492 out of 585 words used from GCompris
• Italian - partial translation from GCompris completed and updated by Guiliano.
• Portuguese - 492 out of 585 words used from GCompris
• Serbian

The corresponding images are available in /eduactiv8/res/images/art4apps

Hi,

In GCompris we also have that list of words and some are already translated in a few languages (Catalan, Spanish, Italian) you need: https://github.com/gcompris/GCompris-qt/tree/master/src/activities/lang/resource

I've contacted our Portuguese translators to know if they are willing to help us translating to Portuguese too.

Feel free to convert them with a script to your format (I can take a look to do the script if needed).

Cheers,

Johnny

Thanks Johnny,

That sounds great, I will look into that when I get a chance... In fact, just after having a quick look at your format, converting it to my list will be a straightforward task so I'm sure I'll be able to make a great use of that resource.

UPDATE: The conversion script is now ready. Catalan and Spanish languages can be reused. The Italian one needs translating - only 205 out of 585 words needed for this project are translated - some categories would have 6 or fewer words which are not enough for the word matching games - at least 12 required.

Thanks again,
Ireneusz

I) The first way by one project.

1. Convert your words into PO files.
2. Convert GCompris words into PO files.
3. Upload your PO file first and GCompris PO file second into transifex.
4. Transifex will use your strings first and will add strings from GCompris, that were translated there, but not on your side.

II) The second way by two projects.

1. Create 2 projects on transifex, but in one organization for your and GCompris PO files.
2. Block GCompris for translations.
3. Enable using translation memory for your project.
4. Configure organization to use total translation memory.

As a result Transifex will add strings from GCompris automatically into your PO files.

The first way is simple and enough for your case. Just time by time upload new PO files from GCompris. It will add new translations only, will not touch translated strings.

I have already borrowed available words from GCompris into this project. The GCompris list has over 1200 words, I only need 585 out of them.
The script that selects required words from GCompris format is there and can be easily changed to do PO instead when the entire list is moved to the PO files.

GCompris will have new translations in future and it will be easy to add them into your PO files using PO files from GCompris by Transifex. Tx merges automatically.
For better parsing you need 2 different PO files for program and for words.

It's nice Italian translation was finished by tx.

Hi,

we have an update of Portuguese in GCompris (https://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/trunk/l10n-kf5/pt/messages/extragear-edu/gcompris_lang.po for the po, https://github.com/gcompris/GCompris-qt/blob/master/src/activities/lang/resource/content-pt.json for the json depending on which you prefer to get from).

[imiolek-ireneusz]

Hi,
That's great news - thanks. I'll get it updated on this end shortly.
I suppose json will be easier since I have a script ready for it. Thanks.

Look at https://www.transifex.com/jmphilippe/doudoulinux/gcompris/
Just upload all files to https://www.transifex.com/eduactiv8/eduactiv8/a4a_word_listpot/ and to https://www.transifex.com/eduactiv8/eduactiv8/defaultpot/ and transifex will add new translations.
