Apache::MP3 localization

2002-04-27 12:57:59
So I decided a good thing to do would be to internationalize Apache::MP3 using Locale::Maketext.

With the help of some patient native-speakers of French, I made a sample localization into French. Here's the lexicon file:

Now, what would really make it wonderful is if people would submit translations for their own languages; then we'll have a demonstration application of localization in Perl. And besides, everyone likes mp3s!

The way you can provide me with a translation is by downloading the above "fr.pm" file, replacing all the French bits with bits in your own language, and emailing it to me. If the data isn't in Latin-1, tell me what its encoding name is.

So you can see where the phrases end up, these are screenshots of two screens produced from the above French lexicon:
http://members.spinn.net/~sburke/a3shots/a3_dir.html
http://members.spinn.net/~sburke/a3shots/a3_help.html

Feel free to email me any questions about the meaning of things.
If you can read French, one thing you might notice is that I've translated "stream" as the word meaning simply "play". That might be a good idea for your language too.

Once I get a few translations, I'll maybe add more comments to the fr.pm file and then ask various Perl Mongers groups to provide translations of what still needs translating.
