Translate_ODF project

THIS PROJECT IS ARCHIVED

I made this project to try to translate odf. In my opinion, xliff2odf and odf2xliff are insuficient tools. I'm trying to improve odf translations in unogenerator project. Try unogenerator_translation script ;)

About

Frontend of xliff2odf and odf2xliff to translate easily odf documents

Usage:

translate_odf2xlf

translate_odf --from_language es --to_language en --input yourfile.odt

This will generate an xlf file with the catalog to translate in XLIFF format

Edit it with "lokalize" for example and rerun that command

A file called yourfile.odt.en.odt will be generated in english

;)

Known issues:

• translate_odf2xlf doesn't detect all strings and sets a lot of internal and ugly codes, due to odf2xliff command limitations, that's the reason I'm developing translate_odf2po

translate_odf2po

translate_odf2po --from_language es --to_language en --input yourfile.odt

This will generate one gettext .pot and one .po files.

Edit it with "lokalize" for example and rerun that command

A file called yourfile.odt.en.odt will be generated in english

;)

You can use --fake to do a simulation of detected strings

If some string is not detected you can use --undetected

Known issues:

• translate_odf2po detects more strings than translate_odf2xlf and removes internal codes, buy it doesn't detect strings positions. So it uses a findall_and_replace command. Sometimes you'll need to update your translated files with unogenerator manually.

Known issues
