[Isis-users] Translation of IAH into other languages

[spinaker]

Dear Mabel

I am sending you the instructions in English on behalf of many of our 
colleagues that cannot read Spanish
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*How to prepare iAH translations*

iAH interface v.3.x comes in four languages: en, en, pt, fr

Enabled languages ​​are recorded in the file: 
C:\ABCD\www\htdocs\iah\scripts\iah.def.php
in the line: AVAILABLE LANGUAGES=pt, es, en, fr

The order of the language statement is the order they appear in the 
interface as enabled
and the order (1, 2, 3 ... ) should be indicated as the subfields:  ^1  
^2 ...
in the file <BASE>.def found in the directory indicated in the line
PATH_DEF=/ABCD/www/bases/par/    (example for ABCD)

iAH has a set of 31 structural files for each language with 
extensions.pft y .htm located inC:\ABCD\www\htdocs\iah\scripts\<lang>

If you want to add a new language, such as Catalan (indicated by the ISO 
code CA), you should follow the following steps

1) Make a new folder for the new language: C:\ABCD\www\htdocs\iah\scripts\ca

2) Go to the directory C:\ABCD\www\htdocs\iah\scripts\translate
     there you should create a file ca.txt containing the seed texts 
used to generate the needed new 31 files
     For that, copy one of the existent files as a modle, for example 
*es.txt*
copy  es.txt  ca.txt

3) Edit *ca.txt* with a common editor likle notepad

This new file has a total of 89 lines, where to the left side of the *= 
*sign is the term encoded in English and at the right of *= *sign has 
the word or phrase translated into another language.     Preserve the 
terms on the left side, do the translation for the new language on the 
right side  and save the file when you finished

4) En el directorio ..\translate  existen varios archivos .bat del tipo  
translate2<lang>.bat
    copie uno de ellos con el nombre correspondiente al nuevo idioma,
    por ejemplo   copy translate2es.bat   translate2ca.bat

4) In the directory .. \ translate   there are a number of .bat files 
like Translate2<lang>.bat.
     one for each language
     again, copy one of them, example *translate2es.bat *with a new name
    copy translate2es.bat translate2ca.bat

5) Edit this file *translate2ca.bat*
    and customize the script according to new new language, in this case 
all references to es should change to ca

   ejemplo:
   mx2 seq=ca.txt= "proc='d*a1~{{'v1'}}~a2~'v2'~'" -all now create=to_ca
   ...
   for %%i in (*.pft) do mx2 seq=%%i gizmo=to_ca lw=9000 pft=v1# now > 
c:\ABCD\www\htdocs\iah\scripts\ca\%%i
   ...
   etc
save the file

6) Now you have all in place to run the translation process, run 
*translate2ca.bat*
     when finished you'll find the new 31 strctural files of IAH created 
in corresponding
C:\ABCD\www\htdocs\iah\scripts\ca

If you find later, anytime, mistakes or typos, edit the ca.txt file and 
run again *traslate2ca.bat* and you will fix the installation
