    33= Translations =
     4Translation is a whole divided into three parts, one of which is seen on every [#StartupPage startup] in JOSM, another by the [#Software Software] user interface and OSM data, and a third called [wikitr:Translations/Wiki Wiki] for Online help.

    7 == [wiki:StartupPage] translation ==
     8The state of the translation over time is shown on [wikitr:/Translations/Statistics].
    89
    9 The translation of JOSM start messages can be changed at the page of [wiki:StartupPageSource].
     10
     11== Wiki and Online help ==
     12A good start for you to contribute is this Wiki. It serves as [wikitr:/Help Online Help] for JOSM, too. Please see the details on [wikitr:/Translations/Wiki]. You can start working right now — like on every good wiki.
     13
     14Some [#Languagespecificnotes English specific notes] are on the bottom of this page.
     15
     16A list of all currently known online help pages can be found at the [wiki:/DevelopersGuide/HelpSystem/HelpTopicsList List of help topics]. This list is created automatically, but may be incomplete.
     17
     18Note: Some of the plugins used in this wiki (e.g. the Spam filter) are, like JOSM, translated at [https://translations.launchpad.net/tracplugins/trunk/ Launchpad].
     19
     20== StartupPage ==#StartupPage
     21The translation of [wikitr:/StartupPage JOSM start messages] can be changed at [wiki:StartupPageSource].
    1022
    1123This page has a special format:
    1224 * Each line "en:" starts a new translatable line.
    13  * Each line with another language translates the previous English line.
     25 * Each line with another [TracLanguages language abbreviation] translates the previous English line.
    1426 * Each line without specifics is taken as is.
    1527 * Lines starting with "#" are ignored.
    1628
    17 NOTE: There aren't always empty lines between the different sets. Be careful not to mix translations or forget some!
     29NOTE: There aren't always empty lines between the different sets. Be careful not to mix translations or forget some! Please sort the entries in each set by the lowercase language abbreviation, but keep "en:" first.
    1830
    19 When changing English text please keep in mind that translations also need to be adapted. If you are not able to do
    20 so, then add an "x" in front of the language, so the translation is still available, but disabled.
     31When changing English text please keep in mind that translations also need to be adapted. If you are not able to do so, then add an "x" in front of the language abbreviation, so the translation is still available as a draft, but disabled.
    2132
    22 Please sort the entries by the language abbreviation!
     33The previewed or saved page shows multiple sections sorted by language.
     34Lines marked with **EN** show untranslated lines.
     35Lines marked with **X** have been marked as draft line.
     36Lines marked with **BASE** are missing in a nationalized translation and have been overridden with the language based translation (i.e. "ca" used instead of missing "ca@valencia").
    2337
    24 When you press preview or submit new revision, then the page has multiple sections containing the individual languages.
    25 Lines marked with '''EN''' show untranslated lines, lines marked with '''X''' show lines, which have been removed due to changed texts.
     38The translation of older [wikitr:/VersionHistory JOSM start messages] can be changed at [wiki:VersionHistorySource] for the current year. For each former year a separate page exists (e.g. [wiki:VersionHistorySource/2021]) back to 2008. The line format is the same as above.
    2639
    27 The table below shows translation status:
    28  * Yellow: Translations need update
    29  * Green: Everything up-to-date
    30  * The numbers are:
    31   * first: number of untranslated lines
    32   * second: number of outdated translations

     41== Software ==#Software
     42Translation of the program texts including plugins is done at [https://translations.launchpad.net/josm/trunk/ Launchpad]. A few plugins are translated at [https://www.transifex.com/josm/josm/dashboard/ Transifex] instead (as of January 2018 Mapillary, geojson and scripting). See #8645 for plans about what platform to use.
    3543
    36 == [wiki:VersionHistory] translation ==
     44The templates at Launchpad for translation are updated each night together with the new [/latest] build. The translated strings are imported into JOSM before each new [/tested] version is released (which is usually at the end of every month, see [/roadmap]) or more often when needed).
    3745
    38 The translation of older JOSM start messages can be changed at the page of [wiki:VersionHistorySource] for the current year, or for the past years, from 2008 on upto last year, on the page for the year (e.g. [wiki:VersionHistorySource/2011]).
    39 
    40 The format is the same as above.

    48 The templates at Launchpad are updated each night together with the new latest build. Translations are imported before each new release (or more often when needed).

    50 The Java translation has some specialities which must be remembered when translating:
    51  * The ' sign is a special character. It must be escaped by another ', so !'' means a single quote in resulting display.
    52  * For languages with heavy usage of this character the typographic ’ may be used instead of the escaping (looks better when translating, in the final software a user will hardly see the difference).
     46The Java translation has some specialties which must be remembered when translating:
     47 * The `'` sign [https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/text/MessageFormat.html is a special character]. It must be escaped by another `'`, so `''` means a single quote in resulting display.
     48 * For languages with heavy usage of this character the typographic `’` may be used instead of the escaping (looks better when translating, in the final software a user will hardly see the difference).
    5349  * This character is U+2019 named RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
    54   * Under Linux this character is available with <ALT-GR>+<SHIFT>+<N>
    55   * Under Windows the character is available by pressing <ALT> and typing 0146 on keypad
    56  * Don't use the message formating brackets {}, or when, then escape each with single quotes like '{' or '}'.
     50  * Under Linux this character is available with ''`<ALT-GR>+<SHIFT>+<N>`''
     51  * Under Windows the character is available by pressing ''`<ALT>`'' and typing `0146` on keypad
     52 * Don't use the message formatting brackets `{}`, or when, then escape each with single quotes like `'{'` or `'}'`.
    5753
    5854All strings have a reference to the place in source code where they appear. That can help to find proper translation. You find the sources here:
    5955* [source:josm/trunk/src/org/openstreetmap/josm main JOSM source] or [source:josm/trunk complete JOSM source]
    60 * [osm:source:applications/editors/josm/plugins JOSM plugins]
     56* [source:osm/applications/editors/josm/plugins JOSM plugins]
    6157* sources starting with **trans_** are converted from data files
    6258 * trans_maps.java: [/maps our list of background imagery]
    6359 * trans_plugins.java: [/plugin description texts of plugins]
    64  * trans_presets.java: [source:josm/trunk/data/defaultpresets.xml internal preset]
    65  * trans_surveyor.java: [osm:source:applications/editors/josm/plugins/surveyor/resources/surveyor.xml surveyor plugin setup file]
     60 * trans_presets.java: [source:josm/trunk/resources/data/defaultpresets.xml internal preset]
     61 * trans_surveyor.java: [source:osm/applications/editors/josm/plugins/surveyor/resources/surveyor.xml surveyor plugin setup file]

    67 Changes made in Launchpad will be imported into JOSM for all languages which are already in JOSM. Usually the JOSM team updates the text data once or twice just before the release of a new tested version (which is usually at the end of every month, see [/roadmap]).
    68 
    69 New languages will be added to JOSM when there are at least 2000 translated strings. Please start with main user interface to reach best results.
     63New languages can be started at Launchpad at any time. They will be added to the JOSM binary when there are at least 2000 translated strings. Please start with main user interface to reach best results.

    7165A short description how to add new language support for test purposes, when 2000 strings limit is not yet reached:
    7266* Create the language files and store them in the plugin file (or JOSM core):
    73  * Language files are stored in directory "data" of JOSM and named with the lowercase language code with extension '''.lang'''.
     67 * Language files are stored in directory "data" of JOSM and named with the lowercase language code with extension **.lang**.
    7468 * These files are always a set. The English base file and the translation files must be created together or they will not work correctly.
    75  * The Perl script [osm:source:applications/editors/josm/i18n/i18n.pl i18n.pl] must be called with a destination directory and the '''.po''' files to create translation data.
     69 * The Perl script [source:osm/applications/editors/josm/i18n/i18n.pl i18n.pl] must be called with a destination directory and the **.po** files to create translation data.
    7670* Add the new language in init() function of [source:trunk/src/org/openstreetmap/josm/tools/I18n.java I18n.java]:
    7771 * A proper code for the plural mode of the language needs to specified.
    78  * A description of the plural calculations can be found in the '''.po''' file downloaded from Launchpad.
    79  * If none of the existing modes matches the language, add new one needs to be added in the PluralMode enumeration and in pluralEval() function.
     72 * A description of the plural calculations can be found in the **.po** file downloaded from Launchpad.
     73 * If none of the existing modes matches the language, a new one needs to be added in the PluralMode enumeration and in pluralEval() function.
    8074 * For some special languages it is necessary to add workaround code in [source:trunk/src/org/openstreetmap/josm/tools/LanguageInfo.java LanguageInfo.java] to translate between Java language code and the newer codes used on Launchpad

    89 NOTE: This table misses all strings, which are not translated in at least 1 single additional language. This means it will be a bit too optimistic in case of newly added texts.
