Off-line Translation
The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.
It is assumed that if you intend translating pages off-line you have some experience with Lokalize or a similar tool, therefore this page only addresses the on-line part of the process, the part that is carried out within TechBase.
Workflow
- Request addition to the Translator group:
- Click on Get a Translator Account in the sidebar
- Click on the tab and enter your username, the language you want to translate for and if you intend to translate off-line
- Use to save the information
- When your user has been added to the group (you should get an e-mail notification), click on Start Translating in the sidebar
- Enter the language you want to translate to in and click on (You can select to suppress pages that are 100% complete.)
- Choose your page to work on, from the list presented - this will take you to the tool where you choose on-line or off-line translation.
- In order to reduce the risk of edit conflicts, upload your work frequently. You can continue to work on other sections from your downloaded file - import will know which sections are new.
Export the page
- The top combi-box should be set to .
- Check that the page-name and language are correctly set.
- completes the export.
Import the new translation

- Click the Special Pages link in the sidebar.
- In the Wiki data and tools section, click Import Translations.
- You can assign the URL of the file, or a file that was already uploaded in this wiki, or upload your translated po files directly.
- After uploading the files, a diff page will be shown. You can examine each modified entry there.
