3. Menerjemahkan Perangkat Lunak

The translatable part of a software package is available in one or more po files. These files may be maintained in any of a number of version control systems (VCSs) depending on the project, such as CVS, Subversion, Mercurial, and git. They may be hosted on either fedorahosted.org or other systems.

This chapter explains how to translate the projects hosted on fedorahosted.org. Translators work on interface to obtaining and committing po files. Before you start, you must first prepare the directories which hold your po files.

3.1. Struktur Berkas

To find which projects are translatable, visit the project list at http://translate.fedoraproject.org/projects.

Before you download any files, prepare the structure holding those files. The described structure below is an example, and your structure can be formed differently. For example, if you want to download the comps project for translation, make the following directories:

mkdir -p ~/myproject/comps/

To work on another project later, make a directory with the project name under the parent directory such as ~/myproject/system-config-printer/.
