Re: [Enigma-devel] enigma homepage translation

Hi,

Feel free to ask everything that's not clear yet.
I think, we should concentrate to the homepage first.
This is easier than the manual in texinfo format or even the gettext po 
files.

The whole thing with "compiling" the homepage is not necessary for
just translating the sources. But I you want to test your work on your local
computer, you need to "compile" the hompage.

For translating, you just need to translate each file in the directory:
.../homepage/input/

The most files exist in 3 translated versions:
basename.html: the english original text
basename_de.html: the german translation
basename_ru.html: the russian translation.

Now, you just add a file:
basename_es.html

You can just copy basename.html and translate all english strings
between all the html tags.

Note that there are a few rather technical files like longline.html
which have no content that can be translated. All these files only exist
as basename.html

Now for "compiling" the hompage, that means: glueing together all the
page-fragments you just translated, you need the lua runtime environment.
(http://www.lua.org/, maybe there are packages for your Linux distribution.)

Then just run "lua main.lua" in .../hompage/. You will notice that there
appear many new html files. These files are build from the fragments
in .../homapge/input/. Now, just open index.html with any browser and
test your changes. For switching between the laguages, use the flags
in the top right corner.
