+The Website:
-TorCheck uses our translation portal to accept translations. Users use
-the portal to check in their changes. To make use of the translations
-that users have committed to the translations/ subversion module, you'll
-need to ensure that you have a current checked out copy of TorCheck:
+ The Transifex configuration file, source file and translations can
+ be found here:

- check/trunk/i18n$ svn up
+ 1. Pulling Translations from the Transifex Server
-You should see something like the following:

- Fetching external item into 'pootle'
- External at revision 15300.
+ 2. Converting Translations to WML
- At revision 15300.
+ Simply pulling translations from the Transifex server is not
+ enough. To make use of the translations, you will need to convert
+ the .po files to .wml files.
-Now if you had changes, you'd simply want to move the newly updated .po files
-into the current stable directory. Moving the .po files from
-'check/trunk/i18n/pootle/' into 'check/trunk/i18n' properly naming the files
-for their respective locale.
+ You can use the 'po2wml.sh' script inside the website module to
+ convert translated .po files to .wml. Make sure that you check
+ out the two subversion modules in the same directory, so that you
+ have (for example) ~/tor/website and ~/tor/translation.
+
+ NOTE: You need to have the package 'po4a' installed before running the script.

+ To create a .pot file from a new .wml file, or to update existing
+ .pot files when one or more website files are updated, run the
+ 'wml2po.sh' script. Make sure that you check out the two
+ subversion modules in the same directory, so that you have (for
+ example) ~/tor/website and ~/tor/translation.
-Now check the differences (ensure the output looks reasonable):
+ 4. Adding New Translation Resources to Transifex
- svn diff
+ To add new translation resources to Transifex, open up
+ 'po/.tx/config' and create entries for the new resources. Use an
+ existing entry as a template. Remember to commit the file to SVN.

----------------------------- Torbutton -------------------------------
+ 1. Pulling Translations from the Transifex Server
-Torbutton uses our translation portal to accept translations. Users use
-the portal to check in their changes.
-
-To make use of the translations that users have committed to the translations/
-subversion module, you'll need to ensure that you have a current checked out
-copy of them in your torbutton git checkout:
-
- cd torbutton.git/trans_tools
- torbutton.git/trans_tools$ svn co https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/translation/trunk/projects/torbutton pootle
-
-You should see something like the following:
-
- Checked out revision 21092.
-
-If you made changes to strings in Torbutton, you need to rebuild the
-templates in torbutton.git/trans_tools/pootle/templates. This is done with
-the following command from within the torbutton.git checkout directory:
-
- moz2po -P -i src/chrome/locale/en/ -o trans_tools/pootle/templates/
-
-You now have two options:
-
-Option 1 (The [shitty] Pootle Web UI Way):
-
-View then commit the changes to the template with:
-
- cd trans_tools/pootle
- svn diff templates
- svn commit templates
-
-Then poke Jake to 'svn up' on the Pootle side. If you do this enough
-times, he may give you a button to click to update templates in Pootle,
-or maybe even an account on the Pootle server. Persistence is a virtue.
-
-You then need to go to the Pootle website and click the checkbox next to
-every language on:
-https://translation.torproject.org/projects/torbutton/admin.html
-and then click "Update Languages" at the bottom.
-
-You then need to go to each language and go to "Editing Options" and click
-"Commit" for each one.
-
-You then need to 'svn up' locally, and follow the procedure above for
-rebuilding your .dtd and .properties files.
-
-Yes, this sucks. :/
-
-Option 2 (Use your own msgmerge: YMMV, may change .po flags and formatting):
-
-Run msgmerge yourself for each language:
-
- cd trans_tools
- for i in `ls -1 pootle`
- do
- msgmerge -U ./pootle/$i/torbutton.dtd.po ./pootle/templates/torbutton.dtd.pot
- msgmerge -U ./pootle/$i/torbutton.properties.po ./pootle/templates/torbutton.properties.pot
- done
- svn diff pootle
- svn commit pootle
-
-Then poke Jake to 'svn up' on the Pootle side. If you do this enough times,
-he may give you a button on Pootle, or maybe even an account on the Pootle
-server. Persistence is a virtue.
-
-You may notice that some .po file flags and string formatting have changed
-with this method, depending on your gettext version. It is unclear if this
-is a problem. Please update this doc if you hit a landmine and everything
-breaks :)
-
-After this process is done, you then need to regenerate the mozilla
-.dtd and .properties files as specified above.
-
-
-Regardless of whether or not you had changes in the torbutton strings, if there
-were updated strings in pootle that you checked out from svn you now need to
-convert from .po and move the newly updated mozilla files into the current
-stable locale directory. First convert them with the 'mkmoz.sh' script and
-then move the proper mozilla files from 'torbutton.git/trans_tools/moz/' into
-'torbutton.git/src/chrome/locale/' directory while properly naming the files
-for their respective locale.
-
-Here's an example of how to move all of the current pootle translations into
-the svn trunk area of Torbutton:
-
- cd trans_tools
- ./mkmoz.sh
- for locale in `ls -1 moz/`;
- do
- mv -v moz/$locale/*.{dtd,properties} ../src/chrome/locale/$locale/
- done
-
-Now check the differences to your git branch to ensure the output looks
-reasonable:
-
- cd ..
- git diff
-
-And finally check in the changes:
-
- cd src/chrome/locale
- git commit .
-
----------------------------- Vidalia -------------------------------
-
-Vidalia uses our translation portal to accept translations. Users use the
-portal to check in their changes. No conversion or moving is required other
-than normal pootle usage.
