 * Please see https://github.com/sagemath/sagenb/pull/238 for a better way to keep things updated, which needs review.


== Old project description ==

This project would involve changing the Sage notebook so that the user interface language can be translated and changed on the fly. This project will require knowledge of Python, Mercurial, and basic web coding; knowing the GNU gettext utilities, Javascript, and the Jinja web templating system will be helpful. No knowledge of (human!) languages other than English is necessary.

=== Languages Requested ===

There have been repeated requests to localize Sage into different languages. Below is an alphabetical list of the requested languages:

 * [[i18n/Czech| Czech]]: Robert Mařík

This page is about code localization. The translation of the documentation itself is an orthogonal issue that will be discussed elsewhere. The localization of code is commonly referred to as i18n.

Internationalization of Sage

Internationalization is the adaptation of products for potential use virtually everywhere, while localization is the addition of special features for use in a specific locale. For those new to the topic, "i18n" is a short-hand for "Internationalization" referring to the 18 letters between the I and and N. Similarly, "l10n" is shorthand for "localization". For more information, see the section "Useful Links".

Project information

The initial pieces of the project are now complete. As of the end of 2014, we have the Sage notebook in seven languages.

  • Czech
  • German (Austrian)
  • English (US)
  • Spanish
  • French
  • Portuguese (Brazilian)
  • Russian

We would love to have more! Among other requests we have had are

  • Italian
  • Korean
  • Greek
  • Ukrainian

Also, maintaining translations is an ongoing job.

If your language is missing please add it. In addition if you are willing to help out translating please add your name to the language in question.
