Re: A better translation version of Chineseforpsql/po/zh_CN.po file

Hi,

Yes. the current content of po_zh-CN files : https://babel.postgresql.org/ haven't been translated.
I'll update them and submit the patch later.

BTW, could somebody close the commited translation on pgFoundry?

Committed and pushed. I don't seem to have privileges to close the ticket though: please someone close it. Thank you.

Hi

I checked part of the psql's zh_CN.po file that Rugal Bernstein provided(only line 1~707),
I think the almost translation is better than the original one,
however there still remains not native translation,
and some C format string is wrong,Such as:

#: ../../common/username.c:62
#, c-format
msgid "user name lookup failure: error code %lu"
msgstr "用户名查找失败: 错误码%s"

should be:
msgstr "用户名查找失败: 错误码%lu"

Please look the attachment for detal.

I think, Álvaro is right. Please download the current po files from https://babel.postgresql.org/ and make the change, then submit the patch.

Hi,

Please have a look at this website: https://babel.postgresql.org/
In there, you will find a lot of information about the current status of
the translation of all the various branches for the language, as well as
a git repository that you can clone. The repository contains branches
for each active Postgres branch.

The methodology I recommend you follow is to download a .po file from
the website, then use it as a base to apply your new translations.

I just pushed your translation to the master branch (which is for
Postgres 9.5) -- to do so, I downloaded
https://babel.postgresql.org/po-current/psql-zh_CN.po (linked in the
website) then ran "msgmerge your-file.po psql-zh_CN.po", then committed
that as the new version of psql/zh_CN.po.

Hmm, ouch. After pushing, I found out that during 2014, our established
translator Xiong He was still active:
http://pgfoundry.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=320&aid=1011462&group_id=1000064
Did you try contacting him before updating the translation? What is the
reason for this alleged divergence? I don't see Xiong He updating the
TW translation (which has stalled since 2011) so I have trouble
understanding exactly why you are calling our existing translation "the
TW version".
