-===== Working with Translations ===== +This page has been removed, in favor of [[http://doc.php.net/tutorial/|new guide]]
- +
-=== Introduction === +
- +
-The PHP Manual is translated into several languages, but this process requires humans to constantly update each language. +
- +
-=== Getting started === +
- +
-A few steps must be taken before working on a translation. +
- +
-And since this document is not complete, please read the official HOWTO on this topic: +
- +
-  * http://doc.php.net/php/dochowto/chapter-translation.php +
- +
-Also, read the [[doc:scratchpad:howto|HOWTO]] for additional information, like how to download the documentations source from CVS.  +
- +
-== Determine if the translation exists, and if it's active == +
- +
-This is an easy step for several languages, but not for those that are considered outdated. A few places to look: +
- +
-  * Each week a suite of tools are ran against the translations, with the results online here: +
-  * http://doc.php.net/php/ +
- +
-The mailing list. Each translation has its own mailing list that receives both commits and discussion. The lists will show up as php.doc.{lang} below, whereas the mailing address is doc-{lang}@lists.php.net where {lang} is the appropriate country/language code. +
- +
-  * http://news.php.net/ +
- +
-Several tools/scripts exist within the documentation files that help out finding errors and/or information related to the translation. The output of these scripts are also online: +
- +
-  * http://doc.php.net/trantools/ +
- +
-=== Write the appropriate mailing list === +
- +
-Send an email to the translations list and introduce yourself. If you're interested in translating a certain section, say so, or ask for suggestions. While writing this introduction, also send a copy to the main documentation list (phpdoc@lists.php.net). +
- +
-=== Start work on the translation === +
- +
-The main documentation HOWTO discusses working on the English version, but a few translation specific notes are worth mentioning here: +
- +
-  * Add the EN-Revision tag to each translated file. +
-  * Check out either: +
-    * phpdoc-all : includes English (phpdoc-all/en/) and every translation (phpdoc-all/{lang} +
-    * phpdoc-{lang} for the translation, which includes the English version (in en/) +
-  * Commits go to the translation go to the appropriate list whereas English commits go to doc-cvs@lists.php.net +
