Scope

This document is written to help non-developers translate the Campcaster software into new languages.

Introduction

Campcaster has two user interfaces: a web interface, intended mainly for radio station administrators (Station), and a stand-alone graphical user interface, for disk jockeys and such (Studio).

Localization of Campcaster Station

Please do the localization at

http://ls-dev.campware.org/~sebastian/htmlUI/var/localizer/

(user name is "root", and the password is "q"). When done, send a notice to the developers' mailing list.

If you must do the localization offline for some reason, please

check out the latest files from CVS
log on to the local localizer at http://YOURSERVER/campcaster/localizer
send the changed locals.??_??.xml file(s) from the folders
- /modules/htmlUI/var/ and
- /modules/htmlUI/var/localizer/
to the developers' mailing list.

Localization of Campcaster Studio

If editing an existing language: download the latest version of the language file ??.txt or ??_??.txt from this directory (click on the file name, scroll down to the bottom, right-click on Plain Text and choose Save Target As or Save Link As, depending on your browser);
if adding a new language: download the latest version of root.txt;
edit the texts between the "..."s;
save it as a plain text file in UTF-8 encoding. Please do not send Word documents or files in other encodings.
Finally, send it to the developers' mailing list.

Notes on the file format:

The symbol {0} means that some variable data (usually audio clip or playlist title) goes there. For example: "I could not find ''{0}''." becomes "Ich habe ''{0}'' nicht gefunden." in German.
The underscore characters show hotkeys: e.g., "_Open" means that Alt-O is a hotkey for the Open menu item. These need to be unique within each group, i.e., you can't have "M_ove" in the same menu.
