Description Vicente Seguí Serrán 2011-02-01 08:42:45 UTC
I would like to include a new section on the intranet of Koha, at "Koha Administration". It'll be named "Translations Manager" and we'll be able to perform the following actions:

1) Editing an existing language label:
  1.1) The interface allows you to choose a language of a set of languages that have been defined/installed.
  1.2) PO files will be read for the language chosen to create a template combo-box.
  1.3) For the selected template, the system will generate a combo-box with the language labels in the template. Selecting a label will display a text field where you can edit/save your translation.

2) Creating a new language:
  2.1 Create a language: 
    a) If an initial PO exists in KOHA (although it hasn’t been defined/installed in the initial Koha configuration) it will be possible to choose it from the languages available.
    b) If an initial PO does not  exist in KOHA it will be possible to create it. 
  2.2) The system will create the directory structure from the English version (LangInstaller.pm install) and it will create PO files from the English version if they do not exist.
  2.3) Once the language is created, we'll be able to edit their labels as indicated in step 1).

WARNING. It means you want to develop inside Koha a .po file online
translation tool. This is a huge task which is already delegated to a
dedicated, powerfull and stable webapp, Pootle:

  http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle
  http://translate.koha-community.org

Please, take into account the above information, and submit another
enhancement bug for just improving the way an existing language is
activated via Koha web interface.

The reason for developing the translations manager as part of the intranet is to have a fully-internal tool without the need of having to use an external one that has to also be installed.
Besides, the purpose of the translation manager is to manage translations for a koha already installed and to change the local PO to adapt them to the necessities of the library environment.

After more than 2 years no one writes a line of code for a feature like this.
I close the bug with a 'WontFix'.
