Forum .LRN Q&A: dotlrn translation

I was translating to portuguese these days, so I can explain to you how to do it, I have quite experience whith this system, and in addition we can work together in the language.

it's up to you to decide to use this thread or to mail me (manuel at sindominio dot net), I think that usually the first method is prefered :)

bye!

Please take a look at the translation server (http://translate.dotlrn.collaboraid.net/). It's THE place to do all the translation work, if at all possible. Please ask Peter (peter at collaboraid dot biz) to give you translator rights after you've logged in.

If there's no way you can use the translator server, you should be able to do the translation even on your own OpenACS instance. You can find the getting started guide on the front page of the tr. server. It applies even to your own box. Please remember that if there's more than one people taking care of one language (like in your case) it's much easier to coordinate your work if you all work on the translation server.

NOTE: you cannot do the translation on openacs 4.6 and dotlrn 1.0 branches or tarballs. Both have to be checked out from CVS head. There's no way around it.

      Problems with XML support for AOLserver:

tDOM is not installed! You must have tDOM installed, or nothing will work. 

Thanks,

Windell.

If you have checked dotLRN and OpenACS out from CVS Head (see https://openacs.org/projects/dotlrn/dotlrn-doc/dotlrn-installation for instructions), you should have a "Change Locale" link at the bottom of dotLRN pages. If not, you probably have dotLRN 1.0.

The "Manage internationalization" link is in the page where you get when you click a particular package name in the APM front page. It's a fairly new addition, I don't seem to have that link in one of my oacs instances which I haven't updated recently.

Remember that the changes you make in the translation server won't get to CVS until someone (=Peter) commits the message catalogs.

I got this error:

cvs server: cannot find module `survey' - ignored
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules

Is there a problem with the module or it hasn't it been commited yet?

Jorge, were you able to make tDOM work properly? I got 5 errors while running the domCmd.test file (while running the make test command to be more precise).  What can I do about that?  I'll post the full results of the test here.  Thanks.
