[Qgis-community-team] FR translation

[matteo]

I'm so glad I can help you people!!! :-)
Here is my how to...

- get an account on github.com
- install git on your computer (I use Ubuntu and with Linux systems you 
just need to write: /sudo apt-get install git/). For other OS users, 
have a look at the github homepage (look for application section)
- on github.com search the repository of Qgis-Documentation and fork it 
(https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo), it just means that you 
create a copy of the original repository on your github account
- clone the repository you forked (this step moves the repository from 
your account to your computer)
- 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)
- files translated need to be "synchronized"  with the old ones in the 
directory of the forked repo
- if you are linux users, open the terminal and get in the directory of 
the forked repo, and just write /git add */ , this simple command 
updates the files of the forked repository
- now you have to commit the files writing /git commit/ in the bash
- 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 
/git origin master /. Now if you look at your github page the files are 
updated with the translations.
- 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 /pull request/ 
(https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests).

That's all guys.

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 :-) and I'm 
working on translation for less than a month) so if any of you has an 
idea it would be great!!

Cheers

Matteo
