openLCA translation files

=========================

This repository contains the resources for the translation of openLCA to other 

languages. These files are also contained in the source code of the openLCA

application. The aim of this project is to provide translators just the files

they need to create or update a translation of openLCA. 

You can download this project as a 

[ZIP-file](https://github.com/GreenDelta/olca-translation-files/archive/master.zip) 

(see the Download ZIP button on the right side) or check it out via Git. The 

translation files are structured in folders which are described in the 

following. If you created a new version of a file, just send us your version of 

this file. If you are familiar with Git, you can also send us pull requests, 

patch files etc. Thank you!

app-messages and bundle-messages

--------------------------------

These folders contain Java property files which store translations as 

key-value-pairs. Both folders contain a file with the key-value-pairs for the

default language (i.e. messages.properties and bundle.properties). The 

translated versions have the same file name but the respective language code 

appended. In principle, these are just text files but encoded in ISO 8859-1 

with Unicode escape characters for characters that cannot be encoded in 

ISO 8859-1.

Fortunately, there is a very nice open source tool available with which it is 

really easy to manage these Java property files: 

[JLokalize](http://jlokalize.sourceforge.net/). Just open the default language

file in the respective folder with JLokalize and you can edit or add 

translations (see the JLokalize documentation). In order to run this tool, you 

need to have [Java](https://www.java.com) installed. 

start-page

----------

This folder contains the translated openLCA start pages. As for the other 

message files there is one file in the default language (start_page.html) and 

the translated files have the same name but the respective language code 

appended. 

The start page is a plain HTML page which you can open in your browser. Don't 

worry about the formatting and missing images this is added in the openLCA 

application. To add a translated start page, copy the start_page.html and use

it as a template. Edit the respective HTML page with an utf-8 enabled text 

editor with HTML syntax highlighting like 

[Notepad++](http://notepad-plus-plus.org/). Be careful to not modify the HTML

tags, CSS, and JavaScript but just edit the text (your editor should help you 

with this). You can always check the result when you open the file in your browser.
