Hello,
I translated a few files into French and sent them to Mateusz (fdnpkg.fr,
fdpkg.fr, move.fr and xcopy.fr). After looking to these files, several questions
and remarks spring to my mind:
- I think providing a link to http://freedoslocal.sourceforge.net/ from
freedos.org would be a good idea, so that translators can find this page more
easily. Had I known about this page, I would have jumped in much earlier ;)
- On some of these files, I couldn't respect the 80 characters per line limit
compared to the English version especially for the help message of xcopy. Is
this a problem? If it is, what can I do? (French is kind of more verbose and the
same will also happen in compute.fr for instance)
- On some files, the translation is incomplete. But when I open the file in
French, there are no "empty lines". How do I add new sentences to translate to
these?
- FDNPKG.FR is in UTF8 but I couldn't convert it locally to ISO-8859-1. iconv
complains about an illegal character at position 0. Hope Mateusz will know what
to do with it.
- Also, I installed FreeDOS 1.2-rc1 in French in QEMU, and right after the
installation when I type help the machine freezes. In English everything works
fine though. This looks like a bug to me, so I wanted to warn this list about
it.
Well, that's all for the moment. When I'm done with Freedoslocal, I'll start
working on the installer. Thanks for reading this.

Objet : Re: [Freedos-devel] How to rework some French translations and
contribute a Turkish translation?

Hi,
About translations of the installer - Jerome already provided an
extensive explanation.
About the rest of the system - I'd suggest taking a look here:
http://freedoslocal.sourceforge.net/
We actually already have partial Turkish translations provided by Ercan
Ersoy, you might want to synch with him to avoid double work.
Translations are simple text files. Encoding is UTF-8 when stored on the
freedoslocal project, there's an automated script that converts all
translations to proper 8bit codepages.
If you'd like to contribute some translations, send some first work to
me, I'd provide you with a svn access to freedoslocal then.
cheers,
Mateusz
