Here are the files: > http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/branches/pd-devel/0.41.4/po/ Hello to all, I'm a PD beginner living in Greece. I saw your "call for translations" and was interested in helping translating the app for the Greek language. I'm now a pd-list member because of this call. So, I have allready translated in Poedit and LocFactory Editor (as recommended) all the template from SourceForge. I have some problems that your guidance would be appreciated, because it's my FIRST attempt in something like that. -The first one is what I should do with "PureData language specific" terms. I recommend for terms like: Object, Atom Box, Symbol, Bang, Slider, Patch etc that no Greek translation should be done. Yes, of course I know what an "Object" means , and "Atom Box" could easily be translated, but wouldn't it be a drawback for users? Even for me, the translator of the app would be confusing if all tutorials / help patches/ lists were using them... and then I had to face with terms: Object, Slider, Patch, DSP etc translated in Greek language in my installed App! I asked a friend of mine and he wouldn't use the translated app either! I find it like translating the MIDI acronyms. Too ugly and scary... As a conclusion, I left some terms as they are. I want your opinion. -The second problem is that nowhere in Poedit is mentioned my contribution :| . The only thing shown is something about "last translator" in LocFactory Editor. I don't mind about the licence but wouldn't it be right for me to impress girls in my college more easily after my work in translation of the PD app???? -The third problem is: when I' m completely finished, where I should upload the .po file and how? -The last and more serious problem is that I can't test my gr.po file. Everything needs to be done with sudo to run and be installed properly and when I reach the commands from your guide: $ ./autogen.sh && .configure && make there are some errors in the terminal: rm: src/config*: No such file or directory rm: src/makefile*: No such file or directory ./autogen.sh: line 13: libtoolize: command not found I think no problems were in the gettext installation. I' m on an intel Macbook Pro 2008, with MacOSX Leopard.
