Translations for country and cache types about geokrety-website

yep (next week) 🙃

Hi @kumy .
I need your opinion.

about this usecase: waypoint search gives one result, example:

In this case, szukaj-ajax.php append 2 informations

Exemple:

• $typ == "Multicache"
• $kraj == "Österreich"

What do you think about using some kind of dynamic translation for theses 2 fields values ?
we could also mount a translation from this two codes :

 _('WPTYP_'.$typ)_
 _('WPKRAJ_'.$kraj)_

In our dictionary we will have some entries starting with prefix "WPTYP_" or "WPKRAJ_" to make frontier between waypoint data related entries and geokrety website legacy entries.

Seems the distinct values for this 2 fields are not so big: 10 cache type (Typ) and 35 country (kraj)

This result in adding 45 entry to crowdin.

What do you think ?

So I think we're no so far (for translations only, I need to work a little bit more on webpage)

Hum, nice catch. Those comes directly from the database. The database is synchronized from different opencaching sites. First step would be to synchronize those with English terms instead of "native opencaching site language"? Then we can think of a way to translate. It'll not be that easy. @harrieklomp please don't be frustrated if we don't fix this using the current website. @harrieklomp, @boly38 If you agree, I would close it as "Won't do - in current site version".

[boly38]

We could maybe add a fieldset label 'opencaching results' (adapt wording) to mark the frontier between geokrety and external data.
and then consider this fieldset out of Geokrety responsibility: do not translate the content.

(sorry I close by error)

[kumy]

@boly38 would you open a pull request / post a picture of the result?

[boly38]

My personal draft / note:

• import waypoint oc

todo list before PR:

• add country translations
• add cache type translations
• fix crlf in sql
• fix template html element
• add note in contrib md about scrpts and php_cs and translation mechanism
• [ ] add country code

[kumy]

Yep, go for it. Don't forget to add new strings "in English" and probably in a dedicated file as current strings are extracted from source code and not database… A yaml file would be perfect for this,

not understand that point, sorry

[kumy]

The strings uploaded to crowdin are - until now - extracted from source code using tsmarty2c and xgettext. See

geokrety-website/scripts/export-translations-github.sh

Lines 27 to 29 in 8367a4d

	xgettext --from-code=UTF-8 -o $TMP/messages.pot --language=PHP -f website/rzeczy/lang/input-files-for-xgettext
	tsmarty2c -o $TMP/smarty.pot ./website/templates/index.html ./website/templates/krety-m.html ./website/templates/krety.html ./website/templates/krety_not_logged_in.html ./website/templates/krety_logged_in.html
	msgcat -o website/rzeczy/messages.po.txt $TMP/messages.pot $TMP/smarty.pot

If I'm not mistaken, you want to translate some strings that come from the database (table gk-waypointy). The point I raised was to solve this. "How to inform crowdin about those strings coming from the database?".

So, I suggest to extract/copy those 45 strings out of the database as a static file, as yaml for example. And use a tool to convert .yml file to .po file, like yaml2po. Then merge all our 3 files into one and finally upload it to crowdin. All this should happen in the script cited above L27-29.

Of course, the strings in the database need to be translated into English first, and also be in English in the .yml file.

ok thanks for your lights. I will see that and follow this way 🤸

[boly38]

hey, finally we have got

110 countries (result in 79 unique english translations)

You could put an eye to see any error.

Next step: crowdin input

@kumy following you advice, and out of error, seems we are not already using yaml2po , BTW we already have some translations detected by tsmarty2c from simple html template. I think first I will generate simple html with template for each.
