- Another way to find the file you wish to translate is through the the main page. The main page displays two categories - Languages and Projects. Choosing a language will give you the list of projects available for translation into this language; choosing a project will give you the list of languages to which it can be translated. Once you have choose both the project and the language, you'll be presented with the files available for translation.
Translating with Pootle
Each file available for translation is accessible in two ways - 'Quick Translate' and 'Translate All'. 'Quick Translate' shows only the fuzzy and untranslated entries, while 'Translate All' shows all the entries in the file, translated or not.
- Select the project you want.
- Click on 'Show Editing Functions'
- You can see all the files listed.
- Click on 'Quick Translate' or 'Translate All'.
If particular tasks are assigned to you, you can see the strings only assigned to you.
- Select the project you want.
- Click on 'Show Editing Functions' and 'Show Goals' in the top navigation bar.
- You can see goals listed and the goals that you're assigned.
- Click on 'Translate My Strings' for each goal that you're assigned.
Note: Before starting to translate, you should make sure that you have proper permission of the projects. If you don't have permissions to submit, please ask your language lead to give you the permission.
When you get the translation page, you'll see a two-column table, with the strings to be translated on the left, and the current translation on the right. The current edited entry appears as a text box with the options 'Skip' and 'Suggest' or 'Submit' below it. Naturally you can enter text in the text box and submit it or skip to the next entry.
If you want to jump to another entry, you can get there by selecting the row you want. You can see the 'Edit' link next to the column of the current translation.
