Thai community would like to use Pootle for LibreOffice translation

Hello,

We happen to start working on LibreOffce localization. The Thai community
would like to use Pootle for LibreOffice translation. However, according to
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Translation_for_3_3
Pootle is currently not used for Thai. In Pootle, we only see the
LibreOffice-specific string module.

How can we start using Pootle?

Regards,
Samphan.

Hi Samphan,

You need to provide us with your latest SDF or PO files so we can
import them. Alternatively I can export the current Thai translation
from LibreOffice source code and you can start with that. Please let
me know...

Thanks,
Andras

Hi Samphan,

first of all, it's up to you to edit that Wiki page and add a YES or NO to the Pootle column in your row. :wink: No value there means that nobody filled it, it doesn't mean that the value is NO. :slight_smile:

Second, most of the locales are still using the LibO Specific Strings module, there's nothing wrong about it. But you can choose to use either that module, or the two Merged modules (Help and UI). You DON'T need all three of them. If you want to use the LibO Specific Strings module, you can already do that – I've just granted admin rights on Thai to the user named "samphan". If you want to use the other two modules instead, you should refer to Andras' message for instructions. If your OOo translation is not 100% complete though (but complete enough), I think you might want to update the translation of LibO Specific Strings first, and only merge afterwards. But again – it's up to you to decide.

Hope this helps,
Rimas

Sorry for late reply. T-T

Rimas,
I've just edit the Wiki page and set the Pootle column to YES. And I'd like
to work with the two merge module.

Andras,
Please export the current Thai translation from LibreOffice source code.
We'll work from that. Thanks

Samphan.

OK, the UI project has been set up for you. Help was at 0% so we haven't
created it yet (I suppose you would want to finish the UI first?)
