10
4744bd90 11<P>Thanks to its extensive use of templates, images, and message
12catalogs, CUPS can be easily translated (or customized!) to suit
13your needs. This help file will guide you through the CUPS
14localization files so you can get the most out of it.</P>

4744bd90 17<H2 CLASS="title"><A NAME="INTRO">Getting Started</A></H2>
18
19<P>Start by downloading the CUPS source code from <A
20HREF="http://www.cups.org/software.php"
21TARGET="_blank">www.cups.org</A>. After you extract the files
22from the source archive, you will want to copy the following
23files and directories:</P>
24
25<UL>
26
d09495fa 27 <LI><VAR>desktop/cups.desktop</VAR> - the GNOME/KDE
28 desktop file pointing to the CUPS web interface</LI>
29
4744bd90 30 <LI><VAR>doc/index.html</VAR> - the web interface home
31 page</LI>
32
33 <LI><VAR>locale/cups.pot</VAR> - the message catalog</LI>
34
35 <LI><VAR>templates/*.tmpl</VAR> - the web interface
36 template files</LI>
d09495fa 37
4744bd90 38</UL>
39
d09495fa 40<P>With the exception of the message catalogs and desktop file,
41localization files are placed in subdirectories under the
42<VAR>doc</VAR> and <VAR>templates</VAR> using the locale name.
43Locale names are either <VAR>ll</VAR> or <VAR>ll_CC</VAR>, where
44"ll" is the 2-letter language code and "CC" is the 2-letter
2e4ff8af
MS
45country code. <em>CUPS does not currently use or support the newer
46<VAR>ll-region</VAR> syntax for locale names.</em></P>
4744bd90 47
48<P>All non-image files must be encoded using the UTF-8 character
49set.</P>
50
51
52<H2 CLASS="title"><A NAME="SUBMIT">Submitting a Translation for CUPS</A></H2>
53
d09495fa 54<P>To submit a translation for inclusion in CUPS, translate the
2e4ff8af
MS
55desktop file, all of the template files, the <VAR>index.html.in</VAR>
56file, and the message catalog. Place these files in the correct
57subdirectories in the CUPS source code archive and run the following
58command to create an archive with your files:</P>
4744bd90 59
60<PRE CLASS="command">
d09495fa 61tar cvf <I>ll_CC</I>.tar.gz desktop/cups.desktop doc/<I>ll_CC</I> \
62 locale/cups_<I>ll_CC</I>.po templates/<I>ll_CC</I>
4744bd90 63</PRE>
64
65<P>Replace "ll_CC" with the locale name for your translation.
66Once you have created the archive, go to the <A
67HREF="http://www.cups.org/str.php" TARGET="_blank">CUPS Bugs
68&amp; Features</A> page and submit a bug report, attaching the
69translation to the report.</P>
70
71
d09495fa 72<H2 CLASS="title"><A NAME="DESKTOP">The Desktop File</A></H2>
73
74<P>The <VAR>desktop/cups.desktop</VAR> file provides a link to
75the CUPS web interface from desktop environments such as
76GNOME and KDE. To translate this file, add two lines to the
77bottom with the <tt>Name</tt> and <tt>Comment</tt> keys:</P>
78
79<PRE CLASS="command">
80Name[<I>ll_CC</I>]=<I>Translation of "Manage Printing"</I>
81Comment[<I>ll_CC</I>]=<I>Translation of "CUPS Web Interface"</I>
82</PRE>
83
84
4744bd90 85<H2 CLASS="title"><A NAME="HOMEPAGE">The Home Page</A></H2>
86
87<P>The <VAR>index.html</VAR> file is a complete HTML file that is
88displayed when the user visits "http://localhost:631/". Edit the
89existing <VAR>doc/index.html</VAR> and save it in the
90<VAR>doc/ll_CC</VAR> subdirectory so that the makefile can
91install it. Run "make install" in the <VAR>doc</VAR> subdirectory
92to test the new home page.</P>
93
94
95<H2 CLASS="title"><A NAME="CATALOGS">Message Catalogs</A></H2>
96
97<P>CUPS message catalogs are GNU gettext ".po" text files that
98provide a list of localized message strings for the CUPS
99software. Message catalogs are named <VAR>cups_ll.po</VAR> or
100<VAR>cups_ll_CC.po</VAR>, where "ll" is the standard 2-letter
101abbreviation for the language and "CC" is the standard 2-letter
102abbreviation for the country.</P>
103
104<P>When translating a new message catalog, copy the
105<VAR>cups.pot</VAR> message catalog file in the <VAR>locale</VAR>
106subdirectory of the CUPS source code. For example, to start
107translating the message catalog to Canadian French, you would
108type the following commands:</P>
109
110<PRE CLASS="command">
111cd locale
d09495fa 112cp cups.pot cups_fr_CA.po
4744bd90 113</PRE>
114
d09495fa 115<P>Alternatively, you can copy the existing <VAR>cups_fr.po</VAR>
4744bd90 116message catalog and then make any necessary changes.</P>
117
118<P>Once you have make your copy of the file, edit it using your
119favorite text editor or translation program to translate the text
120to the desired language.</P>
121
db1f069b
MS
122<P>Then validate your translation using the <VAR>locale/checkpo</VAR> utility:</P>
123
124<PRE CLASS="command">
125cd locale
126./checkpo cups_ll_CC.po
127</PRE>
128
129<P>After fixing any errors in your translation, add your locale to the <CODE>LANGUAGES</CODE>
d09495fa 130variable in the <VAR>Makedefs</VAR> file and run the "make
4744bd90 131install" command in the <VAR>locale</VAR> subdirectory to test
132the translation.</P>
133
134
135<H2 CLASS="title"><A NAME="TEMPLATES">Template Files</A></H2>
136
137<P>The CUPS scheduler provides a web interface that can be used
138to do many common printing and administration tasks. The built-in
139web server supports localization of web pages through the use of
140subdirectories for each locale, e.g. "fr" for French, "de" for
141German, "fr_ca" for French in Canada, and so forth.</P>
142
143<P>Template files are HTML files with special formatting
144characters in them that allow substition of variables and arrays.
145The CUPS CGI programs (<CODE>admin.cgi</CODE>,
146<CODE>classes.cgi</CODE>, <CODE>help.cgi</CODE>,
147<CODE>jobs.cgi</CODE>, and <CODE>printers.cgi</CODE>) use these
148template file to provide dynamic content for the web interface.
149Template files are installed in the
150<VAR>/usr/share/cups/templates</VAR> directory by default. Table
1512 lists the various template files and their purpose.</P>
152
153<P>Translated versions of the template files should be saved in
154the <VAR>templates/ll_CC</VAR> subdirectory. For example,
155Canadian French template files should be saved in the
156<VAR>templates/fr_CA</VAR> subdirectory. After you have
157translated all of the templates, add the locale to the
158<CODE>LANGUAGES</CODE> variable in the
d09495fa 159<VAR>Makedefs</VAR> file and run "make install" in the
4744bd90 160<VAR>templates</VAR> subdirectory to test the translation.</P>

466<H3><A NAME="VARIABLE">Inserting Attributes and Values</A></H3>
467
468<P>Template files consist of HTML with variable substitutions for
469named inside curley braces "{name}". Variable names are generally
470the IPP attribute names with the hyphen ("-") replaced by the
471underscore ("_") character. For example, the
472<TT>job-printer-uri</TT> attribute is renamed to
473<TT>job_printer_uri</TT>.</P>
474
475<P>Curley braces ("{" and "}") to indicate substitutions, and the
476backslash ("\") character for quoting. To insert any of these
477special characters as-is you need to use the HTML
478<CODE>&amp;name;</CODE> mechanism or prefix each special
479character with the backslash ("\".)</P>
480
481<P>You substitute the value of a variable using
482<CODE>{NAME}</CODE> in your template file. If the variable is
483undefined then the <CODE>{NAME}</CODE> string is output
484as-is.</P>
485
486<P>To substitute an empty string if the variable is undefined,
487use <CODE>{?NAME}</CODE> instead.</P>
488
489<H3>Array Substitutions</H3>
490
491<P>The number of array elements can be inserted using
492<CODE>{#NAME}</CODE>. If the array is undefined then 0 is output.
493The current array element (starting at 1) is inserted with
494<CODE>{#}</CODE>.</P>
495
496<P>Arrays are handled using <CODE>{[NAME]</CODE> at the beginning
497of a section and <CODE>}</CODE> at the end. The information
498between the closing bracket ("]") and closing brace ("}") is
499repeated for as many elements as are in the named array. For
500example, the following template will display a list of each job
501in the <CODE>job_id</CODE> array:</P>
