How to Get Translation Template of Extension?

#1

The LibreOffice and OOo team in Chinese (Traditional) are two
different teams. Both maintain their own translations now, and some
terms are translated in different ways (have no common consensus).
On Saturday, the leader of OOo Chinese (Traditional) Team contacts me
that maybe we can hold the translation on a site called
"Tryneeds-Chinese" to save the manpower, and I agreed to try.

The propsed work process:
1. Download the zip of po files and upload them to that site.
2. Work on that site together, and use search feature to know how this
string is translated by others.
3. Upload the output compressed file to Pootle sever before deadline.

Now the major problem is that "Extension of LibreOffice" does not
provide en_US template do download for the local site to create a fake
po file. So how can I get the translation template? Besides that
problem, that site has extremly slow preformance with so much
directories and files provided by LibreOffice. It takes me about 26s
to load the testing page set up for LibreOffice.

By the way, I would like to ask you that how will you manage to solve
this kind of issue - how to cooperate with OOo team (a different team
from LibreO) with the translation to save the manpower? Any other
ideas?

Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:

Hello,

po file. So how can I get the translation template?

If I understand your problem correctly, then you need to download
https://translations.documentfoundation.org/templates/extensions/export/zip
Those are the en-US templates for extensions, however, they are in
their native .properties format, because Pootle can handle this
format, too. You can convert them to .po format with prop2po tool form
the translate-toolkit, if you want.

Please note that currently only NLPSolver is part of LibreOffice. The
other extesions are not.

Best regards,

I don't have the right to create ZIP archives. My account is
"zerng07", can you help me for that?
