The plan is: 1. Visit a website to translate small numbers of strings or complete PO files. 2. Translated strings are submitted to language teams for verification. 3. Nominated person in the language team prepares a TDeb containing the updated binary .mo file built from the updated PO file. (Teams can decide whether to make partial updates or wait for a 100% PO file.) 4. The TDeb is uploaded directly to the Debian archive (locale repository) so that no bug report or maintainer upload is necessary. 5. Custom-written tool (later due to be folded into apt/dpkg) installs only the TDebs supported on any one machine and keeps them updated as new ones are uploaded. 6. An as-yet-unfinished step provides the updated PO file for upstream to include into the next release. Most of the work on this has been happening recently in Emdebian (The Embedded Debian Project) because we need TDebs really really soon (like last year). Our implementation works but lacks widespread testing. http://www.emdebian.org/emdebian/langupdate.html Some 1,600 TDebs have already been built, covering >30 locales. http://www.emdebian.org/locale/ During DebConf8 and the Debian i18n session in Extremadura, I hope to work with Christian and others to finalise TDeb support, preparing the necessary bug reports and implementation to get TDebs into Debian unstable after Lenny. http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/serendipity/index.php?/archives/88-Emdebian-TDebs.html -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
