I’m a japanese user who want to add japanese pages to this site.
Tips for Japanization
- See MultilingualWiki.
- How does www.emacswiki.org work?
- Perl package
‘Oddmuse’ [1] are used. - With
‘Oddmuse’,Cgi-code wiki is working. - For japanese emacs-jp is working now, because Alex had it all set up.
- The difference from wiki is…
- config-jp is used as
‘ConfigFile’ which determins the strings such as サイトマップ or Holidays with including config. - added the code: “do ‘japanese-utf8.pl’”; japanese-utf8.pl is defining the strings in detail like a error message. But, now (2003-10-23) these strings are not Japanized and this is included in the project
‘Oddmuse’. (CVS commiting is needed.) Then, we should send e-mail to Alex@…

Log for Japanization
2003-10-21
In oder to do, I follow MultilingualWiki.
- Translate the name of the links on the goto bar at the top (SiteMap, RecentChanges, ElispArea, HowTo, News)
- サイトマップ, 更新履歴, Elispセクション, 利用手引,ニュース
- I will put these on the server tonight. – Alex.
- Thanks! – Maruyama.
- I think “Howto” is Howto in Japanese. But, try to translate.
- Perhaps just write it in double-width Romanji? Or Katakana… I don’t know.

- 利用手引 means Manual. ハウツー for Katakana of HowTo was used and is not used by youngstars. HowTo is a good solution, but I think this is also used by other Asian languages, maybe.
- Translate the default text for new pages (“Describe the new page here.”)
- Cut and paste making. But there is some questions …
- How to make ResentChanges? automatically?
- This will work automatically once I have it all set up. – Alex.
- Now it works.
- Just write whatever you think your Japanese readers will require. There is no need to really “translate” everything, specially not every comment and question. – Alex.

- Translate the default text for new pages (“Describe the new page here.”)
- Over “Cut and Paste”, I added few japanese. I ended it.
- Translate the strings in the user inteface on the Oddmuse page [2]
Q: I want to know the difference between wiki.pl and emacs-jp.pl. Now emacs-jp.pl is completely same as wiki.pl? How can i get the infomation about current emacs-jp.pl?
A: If you want to look at the Perl code, take a look at http://www.emacswiki.org/scripts/ – there you will find all the files in the cgi-bin directory of this server. Some of these are linked to the same file without .pl extension. In you case you want to compare wiki with emacs-jp. You will see that emacs-jp uses the config-jp file in addition to the config file. (When viewing the files, you might have to switch the character encoding to UTF-8 manually in your browser.) You will also see that japanese-utf8.pl is currently an empty file. (I have uploaded an empty translation file to CVS.)
- Thanks. I understood. – Maruyama
- http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/oddmuse.pl?action=edit;id=Japanese
- And i think default emacs-jp.pl, i mean emacs-jp.pl without translations, is enough for japanese users.
- Send your translations to the host: mailto:alex@emacswiki.org
