Projects/Summer of Code/2007/Projects/KAider: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:01, 9 July 2007

Current state

Already has:

syntax highlighting
spellcheck (problems with dividing filter:doesnt check the last word)
search-n-replace, ignoring accel marks
small features like quick tag insert, placing text cursor right after the tag in the beginning (e.g. '<qt>|foobar</qt>' where "|" is a cursor)
entry bookmarks
viewer of the difference between current msgid and previous one (i.e. msgid translation of which current msgstr really is -- for fuzzies generated with --previous gettext option)
merge mode for editors (QA) or when several translators work on the same file screenshot
basic projectmanager functionality screenshot
glossary with basic tbx format support. KAider displays relevant entries on-the-fly and provides shortcuts to insert them. also, you can add new glossary terms via context menu of the glossary screenshot

Compiling

After you set kde env up (compiling kdelibs is enough):

cd trunk
svn up playground/devtools/kaider
su kde-devel
mkdir playground/devtools/kaider/build
cd playground/devtools/kaider/build
cmakekde ..

as a root, run sshd and then from the usual shell:

ssh -XC kde-devel@localhost
kaider

Roadmap

[basic framework DONE] project management -- 1-2 weeks
[DONE] context glossary -- 0.5-1 week
translation DB (QtSql) -- 2 weeks
[DONE] mode for merging translations for editors (QA) -- 1 week
scripting API + sipping on google translate for live glossary (kross) - 2 weeks
the remaining time is for perfection/polishing/small improvements and xliff+qt-linguist support

What i'm doing these days

kross WebQuery framework
impovements on ProjectView (dbus, etc), Glossary

Ideas

Further work:

Research on dividing into sentences rules (e.g. srx)

Not for KDE:

Be complete computer-aided translation system by providing e.g. actions to import+export openoffice, txt and documents of other formats by calling appropriate scripts/commands. Define for that general kross actions interface.
Make nice windoze package for the windowzerz

KBabel features to be implemented

...in the smarter way :). After or during the summer.

Showing source code by references in message comments
Character selection tool integration (kdelibs rule)
Sending the file using email (kdepimlibs rule)
persistent bookmarks for messages in a file
A plugin framework for validation tools for consistency checks (again kross)
Automatic syntax check with msgfmt when saving and if an error occured easy navigation to messages, which contain errors
Integrated basic CVS and SVN support
extended marking of .po and .pot files (e.g. translator that currently works on the file)
Automatic comparisons and statistics of POT and PO files for a quick overview which and how many files are translated (or not) and which files may be obsolete
Syntax check (msgfmt --statistics) for existing files to control if the translated files will compile and, accordingly, work when distributed
Search/Replace functions in multiple files at once.
Spellchecking of multiple files at once.

Setup

Create project, saving *.ktp file to l10n-kde4/<LangCode>
Create in the same dir file called terms.tbx, and fill it with initial contents:

Glossary

This is how a TBX glossary looks like:
