french translation

Hi to all,

New to the list, I present myself:
my name is Lucien GENTIS and I work in
the "IUFM de Lorraine" in Nancy (France)
as Informatic Assistant Engineer

I noticed that some pages of Apache doc were not
translated in french, so I would like to contribute to
this translation.
In that purpose, could someone introduce me to the
person(s) who are responsible of french translation,
or simply explain whereby I have to begin the job.

Cheers

Lucien

Francois,

I'm sure that wont happen again, if there is something that needs to be 
discussed it is better done on the list for the benefit of everyone.
Why dont you go to  http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Translations/French  
and add a page in there, that is the direct French translation of a 
current docs page.

You will need to sign up and create a wiki userid.  Once you have done 
this, you can easily contribute your translations.  Once they have then 
been verified by a second native speaker of that language you can submit 
it to this list (for now at least). 

As noodl (Vincent) says someone is working on creating an XLST file so 
people can contribute to the wiki, without having to re-work it so it 
meets the current XML standards that the docs build process currently uses.

Once the required steps have been taken, and all the necessary criteria 
have been met, I cannot see why the docs (if submitted now) would not be 
committed.

I hope this is ok, and look forward to seeing many French translations 
coming this way.

OK I'll be the bad boy, launch yet another flame war and piss off some 
people in this list...
I suggest you have a look far enough in the archives.
Vincent Deffontaines (in 2004), "Alain B" and myself (in 2005) devoted 
quite a lot of energy translating Apache doc into French. And it has 
never been committed. It all ended up in acid discussions with the 
committers and basically all this energy was spent in vain.
So you'd better make sure the context has changed before you devote any 
time or energy to the French translation project.

Hi Rémi,

Welcome in french translators staff :-))

We are still organizing this project, and
after two days there's already  1 reviewer and you are the
3rd translator. Nice, isn't it ?

Could we reach 1 translator per section ?  ;-)

So I come back soon to you to discuss how to share the work

Lucien

Greetings,

I am quite happy to see good wills are emerging again to translate docs 
into french.
As far as I can tell, the previous waste of energies we had on this 
project were due to lack of organisation/concertation. Hopefully we can 
try to get things up and working this time. So that, rather than people 
asking and nothing going on, we get a growing community of .fr translators.

Cheers,

Vincent Deffontaines

Yes, I'm building it it currently has some problems but nothing unsolvable I
should think. I guess after it produces nice looking output I'll submit it
here for XSL experts to review and improve (my work will probably suck big
time)

Another thing I've been thinking about is the reverse translation, xsl won't
cut it... I'm thinking about leaving enough information in the wiki output
for it to be xml-able again with a perl script or something. Ideas?

Yes, that's the idea.

Also it should lower the barrier of entry for people to contribute to
translations. Where should I publicize the need for contributors? any idea?

(I'm having a lot of problems finding a second native speaker to review the,
currently, two docs I've done)

See the docs-project page:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/

including the guidelines on translating the docs, here:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/translations.html

Essentially translations must be reviewed by another native speaker,
so having the two of you should work out well. I don't know if the
previous French translator(s) are still active. Another regular on
this list is preparing an xslt stylesheet which I think transforms the
xml for mat of the docs to a format suitable for the wiki here:

http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Translations

I believe the idea is to use the wiki for collaborative translation
before submitting pages to be committed.

Hi, Philippe,

Maybe we could coordinate "en français"  :-))

I just began yesterday to prepare my translate environment,
with subversion installation, download english doc, and shall
go one next days, testing translation process.

As I saw yet, work consists of XML files translation, though
I didn't understand where was separation between different
versions (1.3, 2.0 and 2.2) of the doc.

So I begin this work next days, and I then return to you.

PS: some pages were however tranlated in french; could
someone tell us who made this job ?
Is he/she still contributing ?

Lucien

Hello,

my name is Philippe Lambert, I work as system manager in a Federal Public Scientific institution in Belgium.

I have been monitoring this list for some time, with the same purpose as you. So far I haven't spotted any post related to the French translation. 

I, too, would like to get in touch with whoever might coordinate that project task, as I might be able to contribute.

Otherwise, may I suggest that we coordinate ourselves ?

Regards,
Philippe
