Potlatch 2

Can anyone tell me/us, when Potlatch 2 will be available for translation? Or is it hapenning somewhere else?

We have not been contacted about this for any developer types. From what I have seen, the i18n is through compiled flash files. We do not support that. I would advise you to inform with the OSM developer community.

Not exactly true, we have had little contact, but last time it(i18n) was nowhere near ready yet.

Nonsense. There is localisation for German, UK English, US English, French and Polish in code.swf files.

Nonsense. Those few messages are just scratch of the surface.

As those a binary files, I have no idea what's in there...

It is possible to translate the most visible messages using .properties files. I’ve gotten those messages translated into Vietnamese by filing ticket 3746 in OpenStreetMap Trac. The l10n files all live in git.

Interesting. Thanks, I'll look into this.

Sigh.

I've been given commit access to the Potlatch2 github repo, so I can start looking into getting it supported here.

Great, keep us posted. P2 has been long on my todo list, but since it's Flash and needs special software I haven't ever looked into it.

I don't have Flash either, but the .properties files are plain text, similar to the formats of some other projects already supported here.

If you're talking about making changes to the software itself (to further internationalize it, for instance), the OpenStreetMap Wiki has a guide to getting started. It requires the Flex SDK, which is open source and cross-platform. Hope that helps.

Support now active.
