Topic: Translation to spanish

Hi MadkaT,

great to hear someone wants to improve current Spanish translation :).

the current files can be found at http://widelands.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/widelands/trunk/po/es_ES/ but they are mostely outdated (some strings are missing, some other changed slightly).

But okay:

As you say, that the translation does not work, I believe you are using Ubuntu linux - simply because the ubuntupacker did not compile with the right flags and so widelands can not find the translation files.

Anyway, even if you do not use ubuntu, the problem should be solveable with compiling the current svn version :) This would also be the best way for updating the translation files, as the ones from build13 are already outdated as well

Cheers

Peter

Excuse for the dbl post i've pseudo finishe the translation, but i'm having an error while translating the widelands.po file, that doesn't let me save the file, where can i get an untranslated/original version of this file?? I've tried so many ways to evade this error but i couldn't. Thnx

No problem and what do you mean by 'pseudo finished'?

Pseudo finished = the translation percentage is near to 100%

I had that problem too. I assume that you use poedit. It actually doesn't support plural forms, so for translating these strings (actually just one) I used gtranslator. If that's not that, then could you please describe it a bit more?

When i save the po file a msgbox appear with 2 line errors, always the same number of lines, when i try to reopen the file, a msgbox says: the file widelands.po couldn't be oppened, probably is corrupt.

The same place you did before I think. On the DownloadPage there's a link to svn repository. Check-out trunk/po/es_ES (or whatever other language you're translating).

Ok, thanks, ive searched'the repository but i was searching an en_EN folder, but thnx i try to use file from another translation folder or search other software that runs on windows, the SO that im using actually at work.

Thanks!

Yes, that was one, the other bugs came tih something like %u%s soldiers

There's no en_EN folder, but pot folder would work for you (these are po templates, so you'll have to translate from beginning unfortunatelly (you can edit po file directly and copy the parts you've got translated to the new file)). And again, what software do you use?

I use PoEdit Windows Version, the error cames in that lines, i picked up the French translation, and occurs the same.

I'll find other soft or try to fix te po file with notepad++. Fortunately i have backups.

There are 3 strings of this kind.

The only solution I found was using gtranslator (possibly kbabel (or maybe now localize) could do the job as well, I never really used these two) for these 3 strings.
