Submitting and maintaining translations
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
Various parts of Django, such as the admin site and validation error messages,
|
|
are internationalized. This means they display different text depending on a
|
|
user's language setting. For this, Django uses the same internationalization
|
|
infrastructure available to Django applications described in the
|
|
:doc:`i18n documentation</topics/i18n/index>`.
|
|
|
|
These translations are contributed by Django users worldwide. If you find an
|
|
incorrect translation or want to discuss specific translations, go to the
|
|
`translation team`_ page for that language. If you would like to help out
|
|
with translating or add a language that isn't yet translated, here's what
|
|
to do:
|
|
|
|
* Join the `Django i18n mailing list`_ and introduce yourself.
|
|
|
|
* Make sure you read the notes about :ref:`specialties-of-django-i18n`.
|
|
|
|
* Signup at `Transifex`_ and visit the `Django project page`_.
|
|
|
|
* On the "`Translation Teams`_" page, choose the language team you want
|
|
to work with, **or** -- in case the language team doesn't exist yet --
|
|
request a new team by clicking on the "Request a new team" button
|
|
and select the appropriate language.
|
|
|
|
* Then, click the "Join this Team" button to become a member of this team.
|
|
Every team has at least one coordinator who is responsible to review
|
|
your membership request. You can of course also contact the team
|
|
coordinator to clarify procedural problems and handle the actual
|
|
translation process.
|
|
|
|
* Once you are a member of a team choose the translation resource you
|
|
want to update on the team page. For example the "core" resource refers
|
|
to the translation catalogue that contains all non-contrib translations.
|
|
Each of the contrib apps also have a resource (prefixed with "contrib").

|
`Transifex Help`_
|
|
|
|
* Optionally, review and update the ``conf/locale/<locale>/formats.py``
|
|
file to describe the date, time and numbers formatting particularities
|
|
of your locale. These files aren't covered by the use of Transifex and
|
|
require a patch against the Django source tree, just as a code change
|
|
would:
|
|
|
|
* Create a diff against the current Subversion trunk.
|
|
|
|
* Open a ticket in Django's ticket system, set its ``Component`` field
|
|
to ``Translations``, and attach the patch to it. See
|
|
:ref:`format-localization` for details.
