Translations
DMPRoadmap supports several languages. You can change your language setting via the menu bar on any screen:
DMPRoadmap uses the FastGettext gem for managing internationalization. Several of the gems however continue to use the standard Rails I18n system so their specific translations files continue to reside in the config/locales/ directory.
FastGetText stores translations in the config/locale directory. This directory contains the master app.pot file and various subdirectories containing available translations. Those subdirectories each contain their own app.po file.
The current list of translations offered are:
- de - Deutsch
- en-GB - English (Great Britain)
- en-US - English (United States)
- es - Español
- fr - Français
To add a new language or update an existing translation you can follow one of two routes. The first is via an online web portal system called Pootle and the other is to manually update the app.po file directly. Please refer to the following sections for instructions:
Several of the plugins/gem files used by the DMPRoadmap system still use the Rails i18n system for translations. These files must also be updated.
You should use the ISO 639-1 language codes when creating a new translation. If you need/want to create a country specific variation for one of the ISO 639 macro-languages you should use the ISO 3166 2 character alpha codes to designate the country/region.
For example en is the ISO 639 code for English and en-US and en-GB are the ISO 3166 country code specific variations for the United States and Great Britain. If you are uncertain which code to use, please contact the DMPRoadmap project team.
