Re: [Xtrkcad-fork-developers] Internationalization?

[Mikko N. <mi...@dn...>]

I really would like to help you on i18n, even my personal time resources
are very limited at the moment. At least I'm going to try the static
translation you suggested, and report the results here, and then see if
I can do something with gettext. I will also inspect the willingness,
skills and ability of the Finnish model railroad people to get involved
to this project.

If we think this from the point of the end user, I believe that the
manual would be the most important part to be translated. Unless I have
totally misunderstood, the official(?) manual and tutorials are located
at the XTC Wiki -> User Documentation
<http://www.xtrkcad.org/Wikka/UserGuide>, which is totally separated
from the application code. So could the Wiki be enhanced to have more
languages including a glossary to explain the meaning of the keywords
such as "turnout", "sectional track", "elevation", "turntable", etc...?
What would this require?

Comments? Ideas?

Yours,
Mikko
