Translation Support

ZOO-Kernel support translating internal messages it emits but it can also translate both the metadata informations stored in the ZCFG file and the messages emitted by the ZOO-Service itself. This document show how to create the files required to handle such a translation process for the ZOO-Services.

ZCFG translation

First of all, use the following commands from your Services Provider directory in order to extract all the messages to translate from the ZCFG files :

#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p locale/{po,.cache}
for j in cgi-env/*zcfg ;
  do
    for i in Title Abstract;
     do
      grep $i $j | sed "s:$i = :_ss(\":g;s:$:\"):g" ;
     done;
 done > locale/.cache/my_service_string_to_translate.c

Then generate the messages.po file based on the Services Provider source code (located in service.c in this example) using the following command:

#!/bin/bash
xgettext service.c locale/.cache/my_service_string_to_translate.c -o message.po -p locale/po/ -k_ss

Once messages.po is created, use the following command to create the .po file for the targeted language to translate into. We will use the French language here as an example:

#!/bin/bash
cd locale/po/
msginit -i messages.po -o zoo_fr_FR.po -l fr

Edit the zoo_fr_FR.po file with your favorite text editor or using one of the following tools:

Once the zoo_fr_FR.po file is completed, you can generate and install the corresponding .mo file using the following command:

#!/bin/bash
msgfmt locale/po/zoo_fr_FR.po -o /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/zoo-services.mo

In order to test the Services Provider ZCFG and internal messages translation, please add the language argument to you request. As an example, such a request:

http://youserver/cgi-bin/zoo_loader.cgi?request=GetCapabilities&service=WPS

would become the following:

http://youserver/cgi-bin/zoo_loader.cgi?request=GetCapabilities&service=WPS&language=fr-FR

The following command may also be useful in order to pull all the translations already available for a specific language.

#!sh
msgcat -o compilation.po $(find ../../ -name fr_FR.utf8.po)
msgfmt compilation.po -o /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/zoo-services.mo
