So you're an admin of some kind, and you want to:

Add a new string

All of this assumes one has a checkout of assumes that one has a read/write checkout of svn+ssh://svn@code.creativecommons.org/svnroot/i18n/trunk. One other important note is that CC uses two different PO files: The "normal" PO files with English keys and also PO files with logical keys, which are used by cc.engine to actually render the site.

  • ./i18n/trunk/po = English-key PO files
  • ./i18n/trunk/i18n = logical-key PO files (CC-style)

./i18n/trunk/master/cc_org.po

As the directory name implies, this is the "master" PO file. This is a CC-style PO file. You add your new strings to this file using whatever naming rules might be in effect for the type of string you are adding. Commit your change.

./i18n/trunk/bin/sync

Once you have added your new string(s) you must run ./bin/sync with no arguments. This will propagate the new string(s) to all of the English-key PO files. Commit the many changes which should be visible in the ./i18n/trunk/po/ directory.

Make new string(s) available to Pootle

$ ssh translate.creativecommons.org
$ cd /var/www/translate.creativecommons.org/po/
$ svn up

Add a new language to an existing project

Change an English string
