Principle of PO-POT Translation Approach

Welcome to ADempiere Translation Project !

ADempiere Translation Platform

• Translation Project focuses on ADempiere translation & localization for global languages.
• Have a look at ADempiere Translation Platform on Launchpad.
  • If your local language is not established in ADempiere Translation Project, you can refer to the Ubuntu translation project.
• Benefits:
  • Translate once, available for all versions.
  • Convenient for co-operation. Everybody can easily join and contribute his/her effort.
  • Share translations with between other FOSS ( such as Ubuntu / OpenERP ).
• Translation Project Question & Answer
• adempiere-translation-team@lists.launchpad.net. You can subscribe this email list in Launchpad.net.

How to join us

• You can easily join translation, if your local language is already set up under ADempiere Translation Platform.
• Just simply registering an account in Launchpad.

Set up your local language

• You are welcome to create your local language branch under the ADempiere Translation Platform.
• Tips: It is clever to upload existing translation of your local language to Launchpad.net. So that duplicate efforts will be avoided. You can do this by using the '--get-po' function of tool4po.
• We will consider setting up an ADempiere Translation Group / Team for co-operation & communication when necessary.
• Don't hesitate to contact Peanutblake if you need any support.

Submit Words with Different Translations

• The same English words maybe have different translations in different context ( different IDs in ADempiere ).
• Example: "m " in table C_UOM_Trl with different translations.
  • In <id-103> : meaning: "Minutes". Chinese: "分"
  • In <id-106> : meaning: "Month". Chinese: "月"
• You can submit such words here: Words with Different Translations

Bug Report

• You can submit bug reports to Peanut Blake.
