Translating Alfresco pt_pt

[ngamboa]

Hello,

I'm planning to translate Alfresco 2.0 to Iberian Portuguese.

Untill now I didn't found any documentation regarding the translation process (witch files to translate, etc).

Could someone please point me the way?

Thanks in advanced

See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Language_Pack_Installation and the Language Packs forum for further information.

The basic process using the full Tomcat installation bundle for Windows (after running for the first time):

1.  Copy *.properties (ones without _en_US) files from:
<configRoot>\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\messages
to:
<configRoot>\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\messages
(where <configRoot> is your installation directory).

2.  Rename the *.properties files so the files end with the appropriate country codes, for example *_pt_PT.properties.

3.  Translate the string pairs in the files.  For the web client the main file to change is the webclient_pt_PT.properties file.  For example change:
view_description=This view allows you to browse the items in this space.
to:
view_description=Your translation.

4.  To get the language to display in the drop down list on the login page edit the <configRoot>\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\web-client-config-custom.xml file so that it displays the list of languages your wish to have available:

   <!– Example of adding languages to the list in the login page –>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages">
      <languages>
    <language locale="pt_PT">Iberian Portugese</language>
        ……
      </languages>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hope this is of some help in getting you started.

Hi,

Also look here:

(This would also be a better place for discussions on the translation)

Thanks,
