Hi list New versions of the Translate toolkit and of Pootle were released today. The announcement for the toolkit is in a separate mail on the translate-devel list (and the translate-announce list).
Pootle and the translate toolkit are the leading Free tools for online localisation management and translation. This is a major new release. Version 1.1.1 or later of the Translate Toolkit is needed for Pootle 1.1. Important changes for upgrading from earlier versions are documented on the wiki at http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/important_changes Changes include: * A new look. There has been some slight restyling of Pootle, and we hope to address some CSS and HTML with the guys from GNU/Linux Matters that should make customisation easier. * Highlighting of XML markup on the translate page * More use of translated language names throughout the interface. Perhaps you want to have a look at the translation of the iso-codes package for your language if things are not very complete there. * The use of proper list separators for languages like Arabic and Asian languages that don't use the standard ", " between lists of things. * Users that only have suggest rights can now upload files too * Some performance fixes, although lots of work still remain (especially with file upload in "merge" mode) There are several enhancements in the Translate Toolkit since version 1.0 which will benefit Pootle users, such as improved quality checks, more version control systems, Unicode normalisation on searching, and better generation of .mo files. Pootle ships with interface translations for more than 40 languages. Please continue to update the incomplete Pootle translations for your language and to review suggestions perhaps left by other people. The release files are available for download at https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=91920&package_id=144807 Dependencies to run Pootle 1.1.*: * Python (version 2.4 is the best tested version) * The Translate toolkit version 1.0 or later * jToolkit 0.7.8 or later (http://translate.sourceforge.net/snapshots/ * kid 0.9 or later (http://kid.lesscode.org/) * elementtree, unless you use Python 2.5 (http://effbot.org/downloads/#elementtree) * python-Levenshtein is optional, but helps to speed up updating from templates (http://trific.ath.cx/resources/python/levenshtein/) * iso-codes is optional but provides translated language names. (http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/iso-codes) * PyLucene is optional, but helps to speed up searching. It has been confirmed that Lucene searches can have slightly different results. Lucene also allows for a special query syntax. I recommend that people test this for their purposes to determine if they want to install PyLucene. Note that current the Translate Toolkit might not support PyLucene 2.3 yet. The 1.1 release series will probably soon be maintained in a branch, but is currently available in SVN trunk https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/translate/src/trunk/ The live documentation is available on the wiki at http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/index Please report bugs at http://bugs.locamotion.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
