Brazilian Portuguese translation coordinate
by Marco Rougeth Aug. 2, 2018

Aug. 2, 2018

Hi, I'm Marco Rougeth <https://rgth.co>, member of the Brazilian Python community. I'm volunteering to coordinate the pt_BR translation of the Python documentation. We already have some strings translated on Transifex and we just merge efforts with our local Django community to speed up the translations. We're talking at a Telegram group (@pythonbr_i18n <https://telegram.me/joinchat/CjIqFj4UVvCtPnCwxUDJLA>). Bests, Marco.

Translating sample programs in documentation
by Xuan Wu April 19, 2018

April 19, 2018

I posted this to python-dev list but I suppose here is better place. Excuse me if this was discussed before, but in French and Japanese translations, all the sample programs seem to have identifiers in English still. According to "PEP 545 -- Python Documentation Translations", as I understand .po files are used for translations. May I ask if there are technical restrictions causing translations being only applied to the text parts? For example, here's the first sample program in 4.2: >>># Measure some strings: ... words = ['cat', 'window', 'defenestrate'] >>>for w in words: ... print(w, len(w)) ... cat 3 window 6 defenestrate 12 Here's a possible translation in Chinese: >>> # 丈量一些字符串 ... 词表 = ['猫', '窗户', '丢出窗户'] >>> for 词 in 词表: ... print(词, len(词)) ... 猫 1 窗户 2 丢出窗户 4 As you may notice the strings differ in size if they are translated directly. Obviously that does add extra burden to review the new sample programs to assure effectiveness and readability. Any suggestion or comments are welcome. Thanks, Xuan.
