==What is it?==

ccPublisher is a tool that does two things: it will help you tag your audio and video files with information about your license and it allows you to upload Creative Commons-licensed audio '''and''' video works to the [http://archive.org/ Internet Archive] for free hosting. You also have the option of publishing the licensed and tagged audio works on your own site.

==Installing ccPublisher==

Installing the application is as simple as downloading the appropriate package below. Once downloaded simply double click the installer (Windows) or drag the application file to your Applications directory (Mac), then run the program. The latest [[ccPublisher 2 Releases|release]] is [[CcPublisher 2 2|2.2.1]]. See the [[CcPublisher System Requirements]] for supported platforms.

==Using ccPublisher==

[[Image:ccp2_screenshot_1.png]]

===Step one: Dragging your songs/videos into ccPublisher===

[[Image:ccp2_screenshot_2.png]]

Start the ccPublisher application and hit Next on the introductory screen. The process starts by adding your files to be tagged/uploaded. You can use the browse function to find the files, or simply drag and drop as many files that you would like to license (all with the same license) and upload (all into the same collection at Internet Archive).

===Step two: Adding information about your works===

[[Image:ccp_Screenshot_3.png]]

The next screen will ask for information about your work, which will help others find it at the Internet Archive.

===Step three: Choose your license===
[[Image:ccp2_screenshot_4.png]]

ccPublisher lets you choose one of several license types and the options for each.

===Step four: Specify format information===
[[Image:ccp2_screenshot_5.png]]

Format information helps the Internet Archive

===Step five: Select your destination===
[[Image:ccp2_screenshot_6.png]]

ccPublisher lets you upload your work to the Internet Archive or generate some HTML for use when hosting it yourself. Select your destination and click Next. For details on self-hosting, see [[CcPublisher Self-Hosting]].

===Step six: Logging into the Internet Archive===
[[Image:ccp2_screenshot_7.png]]

To upload your works to the Internet Archive, you'll need an account there to associate your files with. If you don't have an account there, you can go to http://archive.org and create one.

===Step seven: Start your upload to the Archive===
[[Image:ccp2_screenshot_8.png]]

The final step is to upload your works to the Internet Archive. Depending on your connection and the size of files you are uploading, this step can take anywhere from a few seconds to several hours.

===Step eight: All done!===
[[Image:ccp2_screenshot_9.png]]

When your upload is complete, click Next and the Publisher application will furnish you with a URL that should be live within 24 hours at the Archive. If you'd like to use a file-sharing application or add the files to your own website, the file can be found in its original location on your computer, which you can upload to a site or move into a shared downloads folder for P2P (for more info, see [http://creativecommons.org/audio/publish-morpheus our tutorial for sharing your CC music via Morpheus]).

== Support ==

If you have problems with ccPublisher, or just questions or suggestions, you can do one of two things:

* email software@creativecommons.org (good)
* file a bug or feature request in the [http://roundup.creativecommons.org/ccpublisher ccPublisher Tracker] (better)

== Developers ==

ccPublisher developer information is located on the [[CcPublisher Developer|ccPublisher Developer]] page. Discussion about feature requests and development takes place on the [[Mailing Lists|cc-devel]] mailing list.

Translating ccPublisher

[[Category:i18n]]

ccPublisher 2.2 (currently under development) will focus on providing internationalization (i18n) support. This document is a work in progress that describes the translation process which will be used once ccPublisher 2.2 release candidates are available.

Translations for ccPublisher are stored in gettext message catalogs. Message catalogs are text files which associate translated strings with identifiers used by the application. Each string to be translated is referred to as a "message".

== Getting Help ==

The [http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/cctools-i18n cctools-i18n] mailing list at Berlios.de is used for managing translations for ccPublisher. If you are translating ccPublisher into a new language, you are encouraged to join this list. The addition of new messages to be translated will be announced there, and you may ask questions on the list regarding internationalization. The availability of new message catalogs will also be announced there.

== Creating A Translation ==

When translating ccPublisher there are two files which must be copied and editted for the core application. [[Extending ccPublisher|Extensions]] may have their own message catalogs which need translating (see [[Translating Extensions]] for details on internationalizing ccPublisher extensions). The translation resources are located in the <code>resources/locale</code> subdirectory for a [[Developing ccPublisher 2|development sandbox]]. Use the following instructions to create a new translation for ccPublisher; these instructions are for translating ccPublisher to the fictional "ya" locale and assume a Linux development environment.

* Create a locale subdirectory for your new translation
$ cd resources/locale
$ mkdir ya
$ mkdir ya/LC_MESSAGES
* Copy the template files into the new directory
$ cp ccpublisher.pot ya/ccpublisher.po
$ cp p6.pot ya/p6.pot
* Edit the new files with the translated content. Two areas need editted: the header information and the messages.
** The header information should be updated with the translator's contact information, email address and the character set used. The character set should usually be <code>utf-8</code>.
** Each message is defined by two lines; the translated content goes between the quotes on the <code>msgstr</code> line. The <code>msgid</code> line '''must not be changed'''.
...
msgid "OK"
msgstr ""
...
* Run ccPublisher with the <code>--locale</code> parameter; alternately if working on your default locale, omit the parameter and ccPublisher will use the operating system's default locale information.
Change to the sandbox root directory
$ cd ../../..
$ python ccp.py --locale ya

ccPublisher will recompile the .po files into binary message catalogs (.mo files) when it runs if the .po files are newer or the .mo files do not exist. This feature exists to aid translators.

=== Translating using poEdit ===

[http://www.poedit.org/ poEdit] is an Open Source cross-platform gettext catalogs (.po files) editor. It is built with wxWidgets toolkit and can run on any platform supported by it (although it was only tested on Unix with GTK+ and Windows, and a alpha build for Mac OS X is just released). It aims to provide more convenient approach to editing catalogs than launching Notepad (or vi) and editing the file by hand.

Just use poEdit's '''File''' -> '''New catelog from POT file...''' function will easily doing so. It even can compile .po into .mo file in the same time you pressing '''Save'''.

=== Translating under Windows ===

To translate under Windows, download and install an [[CcPublisher 2_2|i18n-enabled release]] (2.1 or later). In the installation directory you will find a '''resources''' directory, which contains the '''locale''' subdirectory. Create a new subdirectory under '''locale''' with a name matching your new locale. For example, to translate ccPublisher into French, create a directory named <code>fr_FR</code>.

[[Image:Locale_folder_thumb.png|frame|The ccPublisher locale folder ([[:Image:Locale_folder.png|full size]]).]]

Copy the template files from '''locale''' into your new directory; rename them from .pot to .po.

[[Image:Fr_FR_thumb.png|frame|The .po files for the new locale ([[:Image:Fr_FR.png|full size]]).]]

Edit each .po file per the instructions above.

[[Image:Edit_thumb.png|frame|Editting the .po file ([[:Image:Edit.png|full size]]).]]

If you are translating ccPublisher to your default locale, simply run ccPublisher to test your translation. If you are translating to a different locale, create a shortcut to <code>ccp.exe</code> and modify it to pass the --locale parameter in.

[[Image:Edit_shortcut_thumb.png|frame|Editting a shortcut to ccp.exe to specify a locale ([[:Image:Edit_shortcut.png|full size]]).]]

When you run ccPublisher with the new locale, the message catalogs will be compiled and the application should reflect your translation.

[[Image:CcPublisher_fr_thumb.png|frame|ccPublisher running with the French locale specified; note the File menu reflects the change to Dossier ([[:Image:CcPublisher_fr.png|full size]]).]]

=== Translating under Mac OS X ===

Translations for Mac OS X are currently shipped inside the application bundle. To find the translation files via the Finder, right click on the ccPublisher application and select '''Show Package Contents'''. This will open the application bundle in a Finder window. The locale files are stored in '''Contents''' -> '''Resources''' -> '''resources''' -> '''locale'''. Navigate to the locale directory and follow the instructions for Linux or Windows.

== Submitting a Translation ==

Once you have completed or updated a translation and tested it, you can submit it to the ccPublisher developers using the Roundup bug tracking system. [http://roundup.creativecommons.org/ccpublisher/issue?@template=item&topic=i18n&priority=feature&title=New+Translation Click here] to create a new issue with the correct default values set. Add the locale information for your new translation to the title and attach the .po files you created (either individually or in a zip/tar file).

We encourage people submitting bugs and feature requests via Roundup to create accounts so they can easily monitor issues they create.

== Supported Languages ==

ccPublisher includes support for the following languages:

* English

The following languages will be included in the next release:

''(none)''
