Translation Project

Welcome to ADempiere Translation Project!

Introduction

  • Translation Project focuses on ADempiere translation & localization for global languages.
  • ADempiere Translation Platform will open soon on Launchpad.net.
  • Benefits of using Launchpad:
    • Convenient for co-operation. Everybody can easily join and contribute his/her effort.
    • Setup once, avaible for all languages.
    • Share translation achievement between other ERP ( such as OpenERP).

Project status

  • POT files are ready for uploading
    • Now based on ADempiere 3.5.4a. We will consider merging ADempiere 3.4.3 in the future.
  • tool4po lastest version: 0.92a.

tool4po

  • tool4po is a tool for interaction between XML format and .PO format.
    • XML format is ADempiere standard XML format in language packages.
    • .PO format is a kind of format related with GNU gettext. Launchpad translation is using .PO format
  • tool4po is under development using python3.1. Lastest version: 0.92a.
  • Basic functions of tool4po:
    • Convert XML en_US packages into POT files. (.POT is standard model for global translations)
    • Convert existing XML translation packages into .po files, so that the existing translations can be upload to lp.net
    • 'tool4po' is designed for global languages. Now it works well for Chinese. It can be easily avaible for other languages by changing one pattern string.
