This will be automated with the script in the i18n repository. Clone or pull the repository and run the following command in the i18n directory.

sh wrapper.sh --repo r-novice-gapminder --account swcarpentry-ja --update

Note: this is a work in progress and may not work as expected

Please test this on a fork on your user account before doing it on the organisation repository.

To contribute to translation of an updated lesson with a new release of the main English lessons

If there is an existing (complete) translation of the lesson in your language but there has a new release of the main English lessons, the new updated version of the English lessons needs to be merged with the current translated. This way the sections have not been changed and have already been translated will be migrated to the new version of the lessons and only the sections that have been changed remain to be translated.

  1. Create a "Fork" for this repository on your personal GitHub account. (Click "Fork" in the top right corner of the https://github.com/swcarpentry-ja/i18n webpage)

  2. Clone this repository from your personal account (e.g., GitHubUser). This is your local copy to manage your version of the translation files.

cd directory
git clone [email protected]:GitHubUser/i18n.git
cd i18n

If you already have a fork of translation repository, please pull changes for the current version from the organisation repository:

git checkout ja
git remote add swc-ja [email protected]:swcarpentry-ja/i18n.git
git pull swc-ja ja
  1. Import the current version of the main English lessons.

Update the submodule for the lesson that you want to translate

git submodule add https://github.com/swcarpentry/git-novice.git

Alternatively, you can update the submodules for every lesson:

git submodule foreach git pull origin master
  1. Create translation files for the updated version of the lessons

Run po4gitbook/update.sh - That creates/updates the po directory with the .pot files to use in translations.

For an update: existing translations will be merged into an updated file.

cd po
ls git-novice.ja.po
  1. This creates an updated po file with updated sections ready to translate.
  • Edit the file with your favourite po editor (PoEdit, GTranslator, Lokalize, ...) Note:
    • "Language" field is needed to add to the header (at least with gtranslator), the rest is put by the tool.
    • "Language-Team:" needs the first letter in upper case (e.g., Es)
  • Create po/LINGUAS
  • Run po4gitbook/compile.sh - This creates a locale/<lang>/<lesson> tree directory

This generates a translated version of the lessons with your changes. You can add and commit changes to the PO files and submit changes as a Pull Request on GitHub as described in the "Guide for Translators".

Please do not create a git repository within this repository. You can copy these files to another repository as described in the "Guide for Maintainers and Administrators" and submit changes to translated lesson repository to update the webpages hosted on GitHub.
