From [[Recai]]:

Here is my initial work on ikiwiki l10n infrastructure (I'm sending it before finalizing, there may be errors).

I've revised the patches (tested OK):

However...

fine. Also a final note, I haven't examined the quality of generated templates yet.

Looks like, tmpl_process3 cannot preserve line breaks in template files. For example, it processed the following template:

Someone[1], possibly you, requested that you be emailed the password for

user <TMPL_VAR USER_NAME> on <TMPL_VAR WIKINAME>[2].

The password is: <TMPL_VAR USER_PASSWORD>

--
ikiwiki

[1] The user requesting the password was at IP address <TMPL_VAR

REMOTE_ADDR> [2] Located at <TMPL_VAR WIKIURL>

as (in Turkish):

Birisi[1], ki muhtemelen bu sizsiniz, <TMPL_VAR WIKINAME>[2] üzerindeki <TMPL_VAR USER_NAME> kullanıcısına ait parolanın epostalanması isteğinde bulundu. Parola: <TMPL_VAR USER_PASSWORD> -- ikiwiki [1] Parolayı isteyen kullanıcının ait IP adresi: <TMPL_VAR REMOTE_ADDR>[2] <TMPL_VAR WIKIURL>

Looks like, tmpl_process3 cannot preserve line breaks in template files. For example, it processed the following template:

This could be easily worked around in tmpl_process3, but I wouldn't like to maintain a separate utility.


As to the hardcoded strings in ikiwiki, I've internationalized the program, and there is a po/ikiwiki.pot in the source that can be translated. --[[Joey]]


Danish l10n of templates and basewiki is available with the following commands:

git clone http://source.jones.dk/ikiwiki.git newsite
cd newsite
make

Updates are retrieved with this single command:

make

l10n is maintained using po4a for basewiki, smiley and templates - please send me PO files if you translate to other languagess than the few I know about myself: dr@jones.dk

As upstream ikiwiki is now maintained in GIT too, keeping the master mirror in sync with upstream could probably be automated even more - but an obstacle seems to be that content is not maintained separately but as an integral part of upstream source (GIT seems to not support subscribing to only parts of a repository).

For example use, here's how to roll out a clone of the Redpill support site:

mkdir -p ~/private_webdata
git clone http://source.redpill.dk/support.git ~/private_webdata/support.redpill.dk
cd ~/private_webdata/support.redpill.dk
make
mkdir -p ~/public_websites/support.redpill.dk
mkdir -p ~/public_websites/source.redpill.dk/support_content.git/hooks
mkdir -p ~/public_cgi/support.redpill.dk
make install

(Redpill support is inspired by http://help.riseup.net but needs to be reusable for several similarly configured networks)
