[Pki-users] Translate DogTag Certificate System to Spanish

[Ade Lee]

Ricardo,

Thanks for the offer to help translate Dogtag!  

You mention Dogtag 1.3 -- thats a very old version!  We are working on
version 10.2.

Unfortunately, Dogtag is not well set up right now for
internationalization.  There are plans to improve this, but they will
likely fall in the 10.3 time frame.

Still, there is a lot that can be done.

1. Server code: some attempt has been made to internationalize some of
the server code.  As a result, there are some properties files with
string definitions: 
base/server/cmsbundle/src/UserMessages.properties
base/server/cmsbundle/src/LogMessages.properties
dogtag/console-ui/src/CMSAdminRS.properties

There are probably other properties files in the console source code.
Translated versions of those files would have extension .es_ES.

2. Dogtag 10 has many man pages that can be translated, especially for
pkispawn, pkidestroy etc.

3. The Javascript in the UI is for the most part, not set up for
translation.  Externalizing the strings is what is planned for 10.3.

If you want to get a jump on that though, the way to do it is pretty
straightforward.  

See: ./base/ca/shared/webapps/ca/ee/ca/ProfileList.template

You will notice that the strings have been externalized to a properties
file: dogtag/common-ui/shared/ca/ee/ProfileList.properties

Translating that UI page would simply be a matter of creating a
translated properties file:
dogtag/common-ui/shared/ca/ee/ProfileList.properties_es_ES

Unfortunately, this is the only UI page for which this has been done so
far.  We need to do a similar string externalization (and adding the
jquery bit on top) for all the template files.

We've started a wiki page
http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Internationalization to start tracking
this effort.  Let us know what you are interested in working on!

Thanks!
Ade
