Localization and Internationalization

Make your project translatable and get status information for the translations.

Status

• Needs design

  Design in progress

  Needs implementation

  Implementation in progress

  Stable

Goals

• See translation coverage for your module

• Get current status of your module on Damned lies (Should I wait before I make a release?)

• click, boom, gettext is implemented and your module is ready to be translated

• Review the list of strings
  • Highlight the ones which are not marked
  • Suggest when changes need to be made
  • Check for consistency (strings ending with a period…)

    • Some checks could be done using xgettext's --check option; maybe easier to port the code than calling it as a subprocess

  • Spellcheck
• See updated translations since last release
• Show list of currently open i18n bugs (depends on a bugtracker integration plugin)

Non-goals
