Git - Transifex localization team

Description

Tracking repo of localization Transifex team for Git project resources: https://transifex.com/projects/p/git-po

Status

git.pot

Main branches

• transifex: Only intended to help translators and track current translation state. It must not be based for PR to the main i10n team.

• master: Git source code synchronized with the master branch of git-l10n/git-po.

Contributing

Requirements

In addition to git compilation requirements, in order to translate you will need:

• Join to the Transifex project directly or create a new issue asking to join.
• Install the Transifex Client and set your credentials.

Translating

You just need to use the intuitive Transifex platform in order to make your improvements:

• Update the translation in Transifex.
• Pull your changes: po/transifex-pull.sh.
• Test: make.
• And repeat

Note: You can also manually update the .po files by 1️⃣ downloading the "for_translation_*.po" file from Transifex, 2️⃣ improve it and 3️⃣ uploading this file again. This is not recomended because you can override by mistake other translator work.

Cheat Sheet

Update local po/es.po file from Transifex:

$ tx pull -l es

Set the charset and replace default values:

# Sets the CHARSET to UTF-8:
perl -pi -e 's/(?<="Content-Type: text\/plain; charset\=)CHARSET/UTF-8/' po/es.po

# Sets PACKAGE VERSION to "Git"
perl -pi -e 's/(?<="Project-Id-Version: )PACKAGE VERSION/Git/' po/es.po

Warning: Charset is mandatory to be set before to run make.

Note: If you run po/transifex-pull.sh this headers are set automatically.

Test:

$ make
$ make install
$ ~/bin/git status

Clean build:

$ git clean -Xfd --exclude .transifexrc

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

• random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
• stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
• "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
• "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
