Different development languages and frameworks use different ways to signify which key within a string should be used as a keyboard shortcut. Very often, if you see an underscore (e.g. Save _As) or ampersand (e.g. Print previe&w) at the beginning or within a word, it may well be a keyboard shortcut.

Ensuring you have a unique shortcut for each function is important and you should, at the very least, view the software in action and draw up a list of the shortcuts you plan to use before you start translating. You should place the underscore, ampersand or whichever other control character directly in front of the letter you want to use as the shortcut.
If you have a program interface with the same fast access character in different options/tabs/checkboxes/etc., you will have to press the shortcut several times in the keyboard to walk through all of them.

런치패드 도움말 > 번역 > 일반 번역 지침

개요

이 번역 지침은 소프트웨어를 자국어로 번역하는 방법에 대한 내용을 담고 있습니다. 어떤 문자열을 번역해야 하고 하지말아야 하는지, 복수형의 형태 등 런치패드 번역(로제타)이나 다른 도구를 이용하여 소프트웨어를 번역하는데 숙지해야 될 사항들에 대한 내용입니다.

런치패드 번역(로제타)를 번역 도구로 사용하는 방법에 대해서는 다루지 않습니다. 이에 대한 정보는 번역 시작하기 문서를 참조하십시오.

언어별 특별 지침 목록

각 언어별 특별 지침을 보기 전에, 이 일반 번역 지침을 먼저 읽어주시기 바랍니다..

이 지침을 번역하여 여러분의 자국어 특별 지침에 포함시키거나 자국어를 위한 개발 지침에 포함시켜도 됩니다.

자국어 번역물의 품질 유지를 위하여, 신규 번역자들에게 이 지침이나 비슷한 지침을 따를 것을 권고하는 것이 좋습니다.

언어별 특별 지침 목록

번역 품질 확인을 위한 기본 규칙

번역 품질을 향상시키기 위해 아래의 일반 규칙들을 따라 번역을 하는 것을 권장합니다.

  • 지침서의 모든 내용을 숙지하고, 다른 번역자들과 지속적으로 연락할 것
  • 문자열을 번역하는 경우, 자국어에 맞게 정확히 번역되었는지, 오류는 없는지 재확인할 것
  • 번역한 문자열이 어색한 경우, 다시 한번 확인할 것
  • 가능하다면 다른 사람에게 번역물을 리뷰해 줄 것을 요청할 것
  • 번역어의 일관성은 번역 품질 유지에 중요한 부분이다. Open Tran 웹사이트를 이용하여 다른 자유 소프트웨어 프로젝트에서 각 단어와 문구를 어떻게 번역하였는지 확인할 것

  • 용어 사전
  • 팀에 새 멤버를 받아들이기 전에, 이전에 번역한 작업물이 있는지, 팀의 번역 지침을 숙지했는지 확인할 것

복수형 형태

영어에 2가지의 복수형 형태이 있는 것처럼 2개 이상의 복수형을 가진 언어가 있습니다.

이러한 복수형 처리는 초보 번역자들이 가장 먼저 묻거나 부딪히는 문제이기도 합니다. 번역 지침에 자국어의 복수형 형태에 관한 정보와 예제를 포함하는 것을 권장합니다.

예제

루마니아어는 3개의 복수형 형태를 가지고 있습니다.

원문 :
msgstr[0] %d thing
msgstr[1] %d things
msgstr[2] %g things

번역문 :
msgstr[0] %d lucru
msgstr[1] %d lucruri
msgstr[2] %d de lucruri

팁 :

Gettext 문서의 복수형 형태 섹션에서 더 자세한 정보를 확인할 수 있습니다.

팁 :

일반적으로 한국어에는 복수형 형태를 이용하여 복수를 표현하지 않습니다. '~들'이라는 복수형 어미가 있지만, 이는 특수한 경우에만 사용됩니다.(허나 최근에는 남용되고 있음. 사람들, 국민들은 잘못된 예. -안동권씨종보 능동춘추 '漢字도 우리글')

메뉴 단축키 / 바로가기

개발 언어나 프레임워크에 따라 문자열 중 키보드 바로 가기를 의미하는 글자를 표시하는 방법이 다릅니다. 하지만 많은 프로젝트에서 키보드 바로 가기 키로 사용하는 문자앞에 밑줄(예: Save _As)이나 엔퍼샌드(예: Print previe&w)를 붙여 표시합니다.

각 기능에 할당된 바로 가기가 중복되지 않았는지 확인해야 하며, 번역 전에 단축키 목록을 살펴보거나 프로그램을 사용해보는 것이 좋습니다. 키보드 바로 가기 키로 사용할 문자앞에 원문에서 사용된 밑줄이나 엔퍼샌드를 붙입니다. 한국어의 경우 문자열 뒤에 괄호와 함께 바로 가기 키를 표시하며 대문자를 사용합니다. (예: 다른 이름으로 저장(_A), 인쇄 미리보기(&W)) 프로그램에서 여러 가지 옵션/탭/체크상자 등에 같은 바로 가기를 사용한 경우, 바로 가기 키를 여러번 누르면 해당 메뉴에 접근할 수 있습니다.

DocBook (XML) 파일 번역

You can translate XML files using Launchpad Translations, by converting the xml to a pot file, using xml2po, and then importing it in Rosetta.

When translating XML files please make sure you are aware of the following things:

XML tags are case sensitive

When using xml2po and then po2xml, xml tags and attributes are case sensitive: Example:

Original: See the <ulink url="http://ubuntustudio.org/">
Correct: Vea el <ulink url="http://ubuntustudio.org/">
Wrong: Vea el <UlinK Url="http://ubuntustudio.org/">

"menuchoice" tag should inlude only "guibutton | guiicon | guilabel | guimenu | guimenuitem | guisubmenu | interface" tags. Don't include other tags or text outside of these tags.

Example:

Original: <menuchoice><guimenu>Applications</guimenu><guisubmenu>Multimedia</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Movie Player</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
Correct: <menuchoice><guimenu>Apliaciones</guimenu><guisubmenu>Multimedia</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Reproductor de películas</guimenuitem>
Wrong: <menuchoice><guimenu>Apliaciones</guimenu><guisubmenu>Multimedia</guisubmenu>Reproductor de <guimenuitem>películas</guimenuitem>

What should not be translated

This section contains general information about strings that should not be translated and how to identify them.

Also to help you with identifying string that should not be translated, software developers usually add comments describing the intend of the text and tips about translating it. Always check the comments attached to each string.

Data placeholders and variable names

In many development languages, a developer can insert data into a string by using a placeholder such as %s or %d. You may also see more complex variations, such as %(variablename)s, $name or ${name}. Copy these variables and placeholders exactly as you see, placing them in the exact order in whichever part of the string makes most sense in the target language.

If you're in doubt, ask another translator for advice.

Examples:

Original: I found $name ethernet device.
Wrong: S-a găsit $nume dispozitiv ethernet
Right: S-a găsit $name dispozitiv ethernet

Original: Delete %(name)s ?
Wrong: Ștergeți %(nume)le?
Wrong: Ștergeți %(nume)s?
Right: Ștergeți %(name)s?

Formatting/XML tags

You may see HTML/XML tags, such as <strong>, used to format text in a string. Copy these tags exactly as you find them and apply them to the relevant part of the text, remembering to close the tags as appropriate. You may also see other tags, such as XML, and should treat them the same way.

Examples:

Original: <strong>File name</strong>
Wrong: <puternic>Nume fișier</puternic>
Right: <strong>Nume fișier</strong>

Also you should not translate the xml tags attibutes and their values (if you translate their values, make sure you know what you are doing and check the developers comments). Examples:

Original: <link linkend="desktop-themes">
Right: <link linkend="desktop-themes">
Wrong: <link linkend="temi del desktop">

Program parameters

Command line parameters should not be translated.

Example

Original: "The command line options are:\n"
          "       --quick         speeds up the processing\n"
          "       --slow          slows everything down."
Wrong:    "Opțiunile comenzii sunt:\n"
          "       --repede         grăbește procesarea\n"
          "       --încet          încetinește totul."
Right:    "Opțiunile comenzii sunt:\n"
          "       --quick         grăbește procesarea\n"
          "       --slow          încetinește totul."

TRUE/FALSE, GTK constants

Strings like "TRUE" , "FALSE" or gtk constants like "gtk-ok", "gtk-cancel" or "toolbar-icon" should not be translated.

In many cases the presence of such string in a translations files is a bug and the software developers should be informed about it and asked to remove those strings.

GCONF configuration keys

Examples:

Original: The port which the server will listen to if the 'use_alternative_port' key is set to true.
         Valid values are in the range from 5000 to 50000.
Wrong:   Portul pe care să asculte serverul în cazul în care cheia „folosește_port_alternativ” este activată.
         Valorile valide sunt între 5000 și 50000.
Right:   Portul pe care să asculte serverul în cazul în care cheia „use_alternative_port” este activată.
         Valorile valide sunt între 5000 și 50000.

Context text

In some old GNOME translations you might encounter translations context encoded into the original string. For for information please see: http://leonardof.org/2007/12/01/context-in-gnome-translations/en/

Examples:

Original: "Orientation|Top"
Wrong: "Orientare|Sus"
Wrong: "Orientation|Sus"
Right: "Sus"

If you see such text please fill a bug and inform the software developers about the existence of context.

Translation statistics

Throughout Launchpad Translations, statistics are shown for translations. These are intended to give an overview of the status, so that translators can easily see which translations are done and which ones might need some work.

Here is an example of how statistics are shown for a translation template in a particular language in Ubuntu:

Color meanings in the Status column

Depending on their status translation statistics can show different colors to indicate each particular status of the strings. Here is what the colours in the Launchpad Translation statistics mean:

  • Translated strings:
    • Green: the translation imported from the upstream project and the one in Launchpad are identical.

    • Blue: changed in Launchpad. The translation was imported from an upstream project, but translator chose to change it in Launchpad. The changed string will override the upstream one and be used in the distributed translations. Translators should keep these modifications to a minimum, and manually send them back to upstream if necessary.

    • Purple: newly translated in Launchpad. The string is only translated in Launchpad. Translations imported from upstream did not have a translation for the string.

  • Untranslated strings:
    • Red: untranslated. These strings have neither been translated in the upstream project nor in Launchpad

Quick tip:

You will find more information in the related Launchpad Translations FAQ entry on the meanings of "Changed in Launchpad" and "Newly translated in Launchpad".

Lifecycle

During the lifecycle of translations, and while translators do their work, there are some different paths in which the colours can change. Here is a description of the most common scenarios:

  • Red > Purple > Green. In this scenario, the string was untranslated (Red), the translator translated it in Launchpad and there was no translation upstream (Purple). In the next translation import, the upstream translation has been done and coincides with the Launchpad one. This was because either an upstream translator made exactly the same translation or because the translator sent the translations back to upstream.

  • Red > Purple > Blue > Green. The string was untranslated (Red), the translator translated it in Launchpad and there was no translation upstream (Purple). In the next translation import, the upstream translation has been done and is different to the Launchpad one. This was probably because there was no communication between the upstream translator and the downstream one: the latter did not send his/her changes back to upstream, so upstream didn't know someone had already translated this somewhere else and translated it again, but differently. The way to get this translation to green is for the two translators to agree in a common translation, and either change it in Launchpad or upstream, depending on which one they might want to adopt.

  • Red > Green. The translation has been done upstream and it has been imported into Launchpad.

  • Green > Blue. A translator deliberately overrode an upstream translation. Upstream and Launchpad translations differ. These should be kept to a minimum, if necessary at all.

Running a localization team

Suggestions for sections included in your guidelines

Below are some ideas, hints, for some information that could be included into the guildelines for your language:

  • A section describing the current focus for translations. What packages should be translated, their priority, due date... etc
  • Create or provide a communication channel for all translators. It can be a forum, mailing list, IRC channel. The main usage of this channel is to support team work, ask for help or suggestions.
  • Provide information about other team working on translations, links to other upstream projects. Try to keep in touch/sync with their work.
  • Decide what grammatical mode or tense is used when translating into your language.
  • Decide grammatical person and if you are going to use a formal or informal approach when translating software. T-V distinction.
  • Decide a common set of terminology or dictionary to be used by all translators. This will help creating uniform translations.
  • A section, or a dedicated page, containing examples of common errors, together with an explanation of the error and the suggested solution
  • A section, or a dedicated page, containing examples of strings that should not be translated.

Common/Best practice

Below you will find a set of common practices for running a team

  • Don't forget about other translators or translations groups. In many cases you or your are not the only one doing translation in the free software ecosystem. Always keep in touch with that other teams are doing and make sure the translation teams for your language are translating free software using the same "language". Try to create or join a communication channel channel common to all translation teams for your language and use it for talking about important aspect that affect all translations.
  • Define a procedure for accepting new team members.
    • The acceptance level may vary according to the percentage of already finished translations. For languages with few translators and translations already done team acceptance could be lower than in the case of a language with many translators, translations made and the presence of GTP, OpenOffice , etc upstream translation projects.

    • Before accepting a member you may ask him/her to provide some translation. If the translations are great you may accept the new member. Otherwise giving feedback about why the translation are not good is a great help. Try to use a forum, mailinglist or IRC channel for giving feedback to potential new members.
  • Create a webpage/wikipage for the translations guide. This guide should contain:
    • First rule: "If a translation does not make sense for you / your grandmother, definitely it is wrong!".
    • Second rule: "Make your translation useful and adapt to the context. Don't follow always the original text". Like for example "Tile children" may sound funny in many languages so try "Arrange windows as tile". The original text is not always the correct one.
    • a common terminology or a link to a common terminology dictionary or glossary. Don't forget about open-tran.eu . You can also install the glossary used by Romanian teams (here is the code)

    • information about what should be translated and what not
    • specific rules for translating into your language
    • a list of frequent errors.
    • explaining the plural form for your language and how to use them
    • how you should translate menu accelerators / shortcuts
    • inform the translators about other translation project and how we should cooperate and work together
  • Make sure you have a good communication channel for all members of the team or subteam. Try to reach all communication types: mailinglist, forum, IRC channel.
  • Let Launchpad know about your translation guide
  • Create a webpage / wiki where people could find general information about your team, such as:
    • short and long term team goal
    • new membership acceptance conditions
    • translation guide
    • common terminology (ex a link to a glossary, terminology list, dictionary)
    • how to get in contact with the team (team contact or team members)
  • Make sure the team act as a team.
    • Keep the team members up to date with the latest actions
    • keep in contact with team members and try to collect feedback and status
    • guide new members and help them get along with the team and translation work
    • try to recruit new members into your translation team.
  • From time to time take a look at what other people are doing. In many cases you are not the only team/person translating software in your language.
