I'm so glad I can help you people!!! <span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span>
:-) </span></span><br>
Here is my how to...<br>
<br>
- get an account on github.com<br>
- install git on your computer (I use Ubuntu and with Linux systems
you just need to write: <i>sudo apt-get install git</i>). For other
OS users, have a look at the github homepage (look for application
section)<br>
- on github.com search the repository of Qgis-Documentation and fork
it (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo">https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo</a>), it just means
that you create a copy of the original repository on your github
account<br>
- clone the repository you forked (this step moves the repository
from your account to your computer)<br>
- now that you have all the files on your computer just translate
them! (suggested softwares are qt linguist, lokalize, but you can
use the software you want)<br>
- files translated need to be "synchronized" with the old ones in
the directory of the forked repo<br>
- if you are linux users, open the terminal and get in the directory
of the forked repo, and just write <i>git add *</i> , this simple
command updates the files of the forked repository<br>
- now you have to commit the files writing <i>git commit</i> in the
bash<br>
- at this point the translated files are on your computer only. You
need then to upload them on your github account. Open the terminal
and write <i>git origin master </i>. Now if you look at your
github page the files are updated with the translations.<br>
- finally you have to do a pull request on github. It means that you
send a request to the owners of the repository you forked (so
Qgis-Documentation) asking them to accept your translations and move
them to the "original repository". For doing that go on github.com,
browse on the directory of your repository and click <i>pull
request</i>
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests">https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests</a>).<br>
<br>
That's all guys.<br>
<br>
Just one more thing. In the last days I wrote on this list trying to
find a solution about translation memories: it would be very useful
to create one common translation memory database either for speeding
up the work and for the future translations. I don't know the
solution (I'm am environmental scientist not a professional
translator <span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-) </span></span>and
I'm working on translation for less than a month) so if any of you
has an idea it would be great!!<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
