intetnet / man-pages-zh_cn Goto Github PK

It's based on manpages-zh project, a successor for CMPP linux man pages translation project (discontinued), and Linux CN linux man pages translation project, with some new addons from openSUSE maintainers.

It's been used by openSUSE project as source for man-pages-zh_CN package.

CMPP project once maintained manpage-zh project, but it's dead.

Now Linux-cn maintain another manpage-zh project, but no useful result has been seen.

So I decided to maintain my own.

If the above two projects have any updates, I'll merge them here.

If not, I will do my own translations here.

• man-pages-xxx Latest upstream sources
• manpages-zh the old translated manpages from CMPP project
• 50-pot pot directory
• docfilter a tool directory, don't touch it
• raw raw directory for manpages to translate
• xml middle file (xml) directory
• zh_CN po file directory
• finished_po translated po files go there
• xml_cn translated xml files converted from po
• mxml middle file converted from translated xml
• output uncompressed manpages (ideal for put into package sources)
• compressed compressed manpages (ideal for use directly)

You need xml2po program installed, for openSUSE:

sudo zypper in xml2po

• Copy the manpage you want to translate to the raw directory.
• Run the unpack.sh script, it will unpack the .gz manpages.
• Run the man2xml.sh script, it will generate xml files in xml directory.
• Run the xml2pot.sh script, it will generate pot files in 50-pot directory.
• Run the merge.sh script, it will merge the pot into the po files.

Then translate as you want.

You need xml2po and docbook2x packages installed, for openSUSE:

sudo zypper in xml2po docbook2x

• Copy the finished po to finished_po directory
• Run po2xml.sh script, it'll generate translated xml in xml_cn directory
• Run xml2man.sh script, it'll generate uncompressed manpage in output directory and compressed ones in compressed directory
