How can I prepare a translation to Art project?
- Get the latest english version: download latest Art, unzip it and unzip the art.war archive; get the ArtMessages.properties text file and open it with your preferred editor
- Change all the sentences after the = sign using your language
- Save the file with name ArtMessages_XX.properties, where XX is your language iso code
If your language uses non ISO-8859 charset (i.e. chinese, arabic, russian etc) make sure to save the text as UTF-8 file encoding, and name it ArtMessages_XX-UTF8.properties.
Last but not least: post your translation on Art Tracker or in the forum to have it included in next releases!
How can I test if my translation looks good?
- Drop your ArtMessages_XX.properties file in the art.war file (in the same place where ArtMessages.properties is) and repack the file.
- Make sure your browser has the default language set to XX
If your text is in UTF-8, you need to first decode it to an ISO-8859 charset with UTF-8 escapes. You can use the native2ascii tool that is available with your Java installation:
native2ascii ArtMessages_XX-UTF8.properties ArtMessages_XX.properties
