Re: Translation In Hindi

Hi
Along with a few friends I want to start translation in Hindi. We did not
find any existing .PO files for Hindi language in PostgreSQL source code.
Is any one working on any translation to Hindi language? If yes let us
collaborate.

I am new to PostgreSQL and new to translations in general. We are
referring to to this document
/docs/11/nls-translator.html for translations.

Any guidance will be very helpfull.

Regards,
Anas

Sounds great. You can submit your files to this list. Nobody has as
yet offered to do that translation.

Please see this site https://babel.postgresql.org which contains the
.pot files and a link to the wiki page with more instructions, along the
status tables. I recommend you work the files from branch "master", not
"11" as the site says, since by the time you have enough files done,
"master" will be in the process of being released.

Looking forward to having one more active translation,

Thank you for the recommendation. We are starting with initdb on
master branch. Once we finish translating initdb messages, should we
post the file to this mailing list?

Yes, we too are excited to work on this project.

Asim, Anas, Sameer, (and hopefully several more...)

Yes, that works.

A very useful catalog to translate (other than the "postgres" giant one)
is psql, and it will force you to determine what good translations are
for most terms that you will find in all the other catalogs (a
glossary). There are also some useful-to-learn challenges such as
making sure that the --help output is properly aligned, and discuss with
your team whether you want to keep the width of the output below 80
chars or not.
