I tried to translate the interface of the notebook using gettext and
faced with the need to make several changes to the source code:
1) List of files for internationalization:
- data/extcode/notebook/templates/ (may not be used?):
failed_login.template
login.template
register.template
yes_no.template
- devel/sage/sage/server/notebook/templates/ :
account_recovery.html
account_settings.html
banner.html
base.html
base_authenticated.html
docs.html
error_message.html
history.html
list_top.html
login.html
registration.html
search.html
source_code.html
template_error.html
top_bar.html
upload.html
user_management.html
worksheet_listing.html
yes_no.html
- devel/sage/sage/server/notebook/ :
avatars.py
cell.py
colorize.py
conf.py
js.py
mailsender.py
notebook.py
notebook_object.py
register.py
run_notebook.py
sage_email.py
sagetex.py
smtpsend.py
template.py
tutorial.py
twist.py
user.py
worksheet.py
2) At the beginning of each file in devel/sage/sage/server/notebook/
must specify the encoding UTF-8:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
Config file for notebook, generated by function run() in file
run_notebook.py also must have such encoding:
config.write("""
# -*- coding: utf-8 -
*- ###
new addition

3) Function convert_seconds_to_meaningful_time_span() must be
simplified, because in different languages differently shaped end of
words that denote the seconds, minutes and hours, depending on the
numerical value. For example, in Russian we must have different ends
for 1, 2-4, 5-... (in English - only for 1, 2-...). The proposed
simplification:
def convert_seconds_to_meaningful_time_span(t):
if t < 60:
s = int(t)
return "%d second(s)"%s
if t < 3600:
m = int(t/60)
return "%d minute(s)"%m
if t < 3600*24:
h = int(t/3600)
return "%d hour(s)"%h
d = int(t/(3600*24))
return "%d day(s)"%d
4) TEMPLATE_PATH in template.py should contain an indication of the
language catalog, e.g.:
TEMPLATE_PATH = sage.misc.misc.SAGE_ROOT + '/devel/sage/sage/server/
notebook/en/templates'
5) Language selector (listbox) must be a part of the interface.
6) In local/notebook/javascript/tiny_mce/langs must be language packs
for TinyMCE. The TinyMCE configuration, generated in cell.py (lines
199-213), must have one more parameter:
language: "XX"
"Stupid" (without gettext, directly changed files) Russian translation
can be download from http://semerikov.googlepages.com/ru.tar.bz2
Unpack, copy, run 'sage -b' and try translated notebook. Screenshots:

I think that making language packs for notebook interface (and docs
translation) will help to popularize Sage. I can also do the
translation into Ukrainian, but I need in a language pack template for
notebook (to easily add new languages as is done for the
documentation).
