This documentation covers both user’s and programmer’s perspective. Contents 1 Translate Toolkit Documentation, Release 2.0.0 2 Contents CHAPTER 1 User’s Guide This part has the user’s documentation for the tools included in the Translate Toolkit. Features • Work with ONE localisation format. You’ll no longer be editing DTD files in one tool, .properties in another, OpenOffice GSI in a third. Simply do all your localisation in a PO or XLIFF editor • Converters for a number of formats – OpenOffice.org SDF/GSI – Mozilla: .properties, DTD, XHTML, .inc, .ini, etc – Others: Comma Separated Value, TMX, XLIFF, TBX, PHP, WordFast TXT, Qt .ts, txt, .ini, Windows .rc, ical, subtitles, Mac OS X strings • File access to localization files through the format API in all the above formats, as well as .qph, .qm, .mo • Output valid target file types. We make sure that your output files (e.g. .properties) contain all comments from the original file and preserves the layout of the original as far as possible. If your PO entry is marked as fuzzy we use the English text, not your half complete translation. The converters for OpenOffice.org and Mozilla formats will also perform simple checks and corrections to make sure you have none of those hard to find localisation bugs. • Our checker has over 42 checks to find errors such as: missing or translated variables, missing accelerator keys, bad escaping, start capitalisation, missing sentences, bad XML and much more. • Language awareness, taking language conventions for capitalisation, quotes and other punctuation into account • Find conflicting translations easily, cases where you have translated a source word differently or used a target word for 2 very different English concepts • Extract messages using simple text or a regular expression allowing you to quickly find and extract words that you need to fix due to glossary changes. • Merge snippets of PO files into your existing translations. 3 Translate Toolkit Documentation, Release 2.0.0 • Create word, string and file counts of your files. Making it much easier to budget time as string counts do not give you a good indication of expected work. • Create a set of PO files with debugging entries to allow you to easily locate the source of translations. Very use- ful in OpenOffice.org which provides scant clues as to where the running application has sourced the message. The Translate Toolkit is also a powerful API for writing translation and localisation tools, already used by our own and several other projects. See the base class section for more information. Installation This is a guide to installing the Translate Toolkit on your system. If the Translate Toolkit is already packaged for your system, this is probably the easiest way to install it. For several Linux distributions, the package might be available through your package manager. On Windows, we recommend using a virtual environment. If your system already has the toolkit prepackaged, then please let us know what steps are required to install it. Building For build instructions, see the Building page. Download Download a stable released version. Or if you have a python environment, run pip install translate-toolkit. For those who need problems fixed, or who want to work on the bleeding edge, get the latest source from Git. If you install through your distribution’s package manager, you should automatically have all the dependencies you need. If you are installing a version from Version Control, or from a source release, you should check the README file for information on the dependencies that are needed. Some of the dependencies are optional. The README file documents this. Installing packaged versions Get the package for your system: RPM If you want to install easily on an RPM based system .tar.gz for source based installing on Linux .deb for Debian GNU/Linux (etch version) The RPM package can be installed by using the following command: $ rpm -Uvh translate-toolkit-1.0.1.rpm To install a tar.bz2: $ tar xvjf translate-toolkit-1.1.0.tar.bz2 $ cd translate-toolkit-1.1.0 $ su $ ./setup.py install On Debian (if you are on etch), just type the following command: $ aptitude install translate-toolkit 4 Chapter 1. User’s Guide Translate Toolkit Documentation, Release 2.0.0 If you are using an old Debian stable system, you might want to install the .tar.bz2 version. Be sure to install python and python development first with: $ apt-get install python python-dev Alternatively newer packages might be in testing. Installing on Windows On Windows we recommend that you install Translate Toolkit using a virtual environment. This makes installation clean and isolated. Use the latest Python 2.7 (at least Python 2.7.9 or newer as it bundles the pip installer). Install virtualenvwrapper-win to simplify handling of virtualenvs. 1. Install latest Python 2.7 2. Open cmd.exe or similar 3. pip install virtualenvwrapper-win 4. mkvirtualenv ttk where “ttk” is the name for the new virtualenv 5. pip install translate-toolkit to install latest stable or pip install –pre translate-toolkit to try a pre-release 6. pip install “lxml>=3.5” to be able to use XLIFF or other XML formats 7. po2prop –version to double check you have the right version Next times you need to use Translate Toolkit just remember to: 1. Open cmd.exe or similar 2. workon ttk to enable the virtualenv again 3. Run the Translate Toolkit commands you want Installing from Git If you want to try the bleeding edge, or just want to have the latest fixes from a stabilising branch then you need to use Git to get your sources: $ git clone https://github.com/translate/translate.git This will retrieve the master branch of the Toolkit. Further Git instructions are also available. Once you have the sources you have two options, a full install: $ su $ ./setup.py install or, running the tools from the source directory: $ ./setuppath # Only needed the first time $ . setpath # Do this once for a session 1.2. Installation 5 Translate Toolkit Documentation, Release 2.0.0 Verify installed version To verify which version of the toolkit you have installed run: $ prop2po --version prop2po 2.0.0 Cleaning up existing installation To remove old versions of the toolkit which you might have installed without a virtual environment or without your package manager. The following advice only applies to manual installation from a tarball. 1. Find location of your python packages: $ python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_ ,!lib())" 2. Delete toolkit package from your Python site-packages directory e.g.: $ rm -R /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/translate Converters General Usage The tools follow a general usage convention which is helpful to understand. Input & Output The last two arguments of your command are the input and output files/directories: moz2po<input><output> You can of course still use the -i and -o options which allows you to reorder commands moz2po-o<output>-i<input> Error Reporting All tools accept the option --errorlevel. If you find a bug, add this option and send the traceback to the develop- ers. moz2po<other-options>--errorlevel=traceback Templates If you are working with any file format and you wish to preserve comments and layout then use your source file as a template. 6 Chapter 1. User’s Guide Translate Toolkit Documentation, Release 2.0.0 po2dtd-t<source-file><input><output> This will use the files in <source-file> as a template, merge the PO files in <input>, and create new DTD files in <output> If you ran this without the templates you would get valid DTD files but they would not preserve the layout or all the comments from the source DTD file The same concept of templates is also used when you merge files. pomerge-t<old><fixes><new> This would take the <old> files merge in the <fixes> and output new PO files, preserving formatting,

  • Teaching Video Game Translation: First Steps, Systems and Hands-On Experience Ensinando Tradução De Videogame: Primeiros Passos, Sistemas E Experiência Prática
    http://periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre Belo Horizonte, v. 11, n. 1, p. 103-120, jan.-abr. 2018 – ISSN 1983-3652 DOI: 10.17851/1983-3652.11.1.103-120 TEACHING VIDEO GAME TRANSLATION: FIRST STEPS, SYSTEMS AND HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE ENSINANDO TRADUÇÃO DE VIDEOGAME: PRIMEIROS PASSOS, SISTEMAS E EXPERIÊNCIA PRÁTICA Marileide Dias Esqueda Universidade Federal de Uberlândia [email protected] Érika Nogueira de Andrade Stupiello Universidade Estadual Paulista “Júlio de Mesquista Filho” [email protected] ABSTRACT: Despite the significant growth of the game localization industry in the past years, translation undergraduate curricula in Brazil still lacks formal training in game localization, often leaving novice translators no alternative but to search for the required skills informally in game translation communities. Designing a video game localization course in translation undergraduate programs in public universities is a complex task in today’s reality, particularly due to limited access to free and authentic materials. This paper describes a game localization teaching experience at the undergraduate level with special focus on how to handle the linguistic assets of the online race game SuperTuxKart, while trying to shed some light on potential translation requirements of entertainment software and its incorporation into translation programs. KEYWORDS: video game localization; video game translation; translator training; translation undergraduate program; SuperTuxKart. RESUMO: A despeito do significativo crescimento da indústria de localização de games nos últimos anos, os currículos dos cursos de graduação em tradução ainda carecem de formação específica na localização de games, geralmente não oferecendo ao tradutor em formação alternativas outras senão a de adquirir informalmente, ou em comunidades on- line de gamers, os conhecimentos sobre a tradução desse tipo de material.
