Translation Projects for OpenSolaris
The page contains translation projects that are open for next release of OpenSolaris (OpenSolaris 2009.06). Each project contains information about deadline and the languages for which the project has been opened.
How to start?
We recommend to use CTI tool for OpenSolaris UI messages translation and SunGloss tool for Glossary. In order to start you just need to register yourself into those tools.
Coordination of translations
So far, CTI does not support translation project management features that can help with a project coordination- e.g. review feature or comments fields for particular translation segment. We suggest each l10n team and l10n lead will coordinate translation activities for particular language and project. We are working on CTI improvement, so if you have any suggestion or feedback regarding to such functionality, please send us your email (cti at sun dot com) or put a comment to CTI Project Wish List.
What to do if translations are finished?
When you are done with translations, please send us email (cti at sun dot com) and we integrate translations into workspace. There is no mechanism in CTI that can detect if the project has been finished. When we obtain your email, we will integrate messages into OpenSolaris. The messages will appear in next build, so you can download it and test it.
What to do if my language or project is not on the list?
Please send us email (cti at sun dot com) and we will create a translation project in CTI. The only requirement is that a locale for your language already exists in OpenSolaris. In other words in order to translate UI strings in a system, the system (OpenSolaris) must be i18n ready for this language. If your locale is not ready, please submit a new bug(component 'i18n-l10n')

 | Language selection for LiveCD In order to boot LiveCD under particular language, such language must have an entry in the Language Selection List (appearing during LiveCD boot process). In order to have this entry in the List, a translation of installer is required (primarily gui-install.pot file; in CTI tool go under OS2009.06 - Installer project). So far the following languages will be shown in this list:
