Help:Extension:Translate/Off-line translation/ca

Aquesta pàgina explica com traduir fora de línia. Si esteu interessat en això, probablement ja sabeu què son els fitxers Gettext PO. Per aquesta raó, només parlarem de com usar-los aquí en un wiki amb l'extensió Translate. En cas contrari, esteu probablement més interessat en el tutorial de com traduir en línia.

Donat el cas, és possible que no vulgueu utilitzar la interfície web si teniu una connexió a internet molt lenta o limitada o teniu eines de treball sense connexió de les que no en podeu prescindir. Tingueu en compte, però, que l'extensió Translate està concebuda com un procés de col·laboració. Això vol dir que no heu de tenir els fitxers fora de línia durant molt temps, i sempre s'ha de descarregar el nou fitxer, just abans de començar a traduir. En cas contrari podria entrar en conflicte amb altres traductors que treballen al wiki.

Exportació
You can download any message group as Gettext PO file by choosing the export for off-line translation task in Special:Translate. Some sites might have disabled this task. You should check any local guides how to process these files before you start.

The files are standard Gettext PO files with some extra information. The header contains some extra fields shown below; the  for each message contains an identifier that the Translate extension needs. Some editors are known to strip either the header comments or the  lines, so start with a small file to make sure that your editor does not remove these – it's not funny to realize the editor was buggy after translating hundreds of messages that you cannot import back into the online system! The message documentation is exported as translation comments.

Important header fields: "X-Language-Code: nl\n" "X-Message-Group: ext-abc\n" In this example, "ext-abc" is the name of the message group. For translatable pages, the corresponding message group has the name "page-" + the page name (i.e. for the page "Example", the header would contain the line ).

Example entry in a Translate Gettext po file.
 * 1) . [Wiki] This text is used on the history tab.
 * 2) . [Wiki]

msgctxt "history_short" msgid "History" msgstr "Versionsgeschichte"

Importació
There is no need to translate the file completely. Uploading partially translated message groups is perfectly fine. There are two ways to import these files.

The users with correct user rights can use  to upload and import the translations. The special page processes the file, shows the changes and lets the user import them. For large files with lots of changes the importing might take multiple steps, as the processing time is limited.

Importing can also be done using a command line script in. It's less flexible but can import everything in one go. It also needs intervention from someone with shell access to the server.

The way how imports of off-line translations are handled (or not) depends on your wiki.
