Mission

Enable users and developers to use Sugar and Sugar Labs services regardless of their native tongue.

Welcome to the Translation Team

Welcome to the Sugar Labs Translation, Localization and Internationalization Team.

The goal of the Sugar Labs translation team is to make Sugar available in as many languages as possible at the highest quality.

We work on a number of translation related projects

Localizing the Sugar Learning Platform
Localizing Sugar Activities
Translating the Sugar Documentation (e.g. FLOSSManuals)
Translating the Sugar Labs wiki. See Translation Team/Wiki Translation.
Other translation and localization needs of Sugar Labs

General information

The Sugar learning platform and Sugar Activities are localized at http://translate.sugarlabs.org/ .

For a quick primer, http://people.sugarlabs.org/sayamindu/pootleforxo2_5.pdf is highly recommended.

También se encuentra disponible un Manual de Traducción a Lenguas Nativas en Español.

The Sugar Documentation is written in partnership with FLOSS Manual at http://en.flossmanuals.net/ . Translation of that documentation uses FLOSS Manual tools.

Language Teams

While Sugar translations are open to everyone to contribute, Sugar Language teams act as quality assurance team. There is one language team appointed to each language. Language teams often work closely with Sugar Local Labs.

Below is a list of activities associated with localization teams:

Check and review the work of translators
Help new translators with feedback and guidance
Check the translation inclusion into pootle and report problems to developers.
Keep in touch with people from other translation projects (upstream project) and synchronize the translation work, assure same translations do not need to be made twice
Keep in touch with other Sugar Language teams and help establish new Sugar Language teams, exchange best practices with other teams

Resources for Translators

Any Sugar Labs wiki page can be viewed with Google's machine translation service by selecting a language from the wiki sidebar list under 'Google translations'. Translators can help improve that service when viewing a Google translated page by hovering over a sentence. An option to contribute a better translation is provided in the pop-up widget.

Package Maintainers

All UI translations for sugar packages are to be made available for translations using Pootle.

Please tag related bug using "i18n" or "l10n".

Developers

Please refer to Translation Team/i18n Best Practices for hints on how to prepare your code for internationalization.

-{{trinity}}'''God''' is the sovereign creator and eternal ruler of all things and beings that exist, whether in the physical [[universe]] or in the spiritual realm ([[Heaven]]).  Not only is God the creator and ruler of the things and beings within those two realms, but he is also the creator of the realms themselves. God created the physical universe, and before he acted in this creation, the universe did not exist. Likewise God did with the spiritual realm.
-== God is Revealed: How we know about God ==
+== Welcome to the Translation Team ==
-Other than creation itself, God is revealed in several ways, including conscience and special revelation (the bible, and prophets). Most importantly though, God is revealed in [[Jesus Christ]], who is the Son of God.
+Welcome to the Sugar Labs Translation, Localization and Internationalization Team.
-== Attributes or Character of God ==
+The goal of the Sugar Labs translation team is to make Sugar available in as many languages as possible at the highest quality.
-The attributes of God are things that describe who he is. Similar to the way one might describe a close friend to another individual, so too do these attributes describe God's character and nature. Attributes of God include but are not limited to [[Wisdom]], [[Infinitude]], [[Sovereignty]], [[Holiness]], [[Trinity]], [[Omniscience]], [[Faithfulness]], [[Love]], [[Omnipotence]], [[Self-existence]], [[Self-sufficiency]], [[Justice]], [[Immutability]], [[Mercy]], [[Eternal]], [[Goodness]], [[Gracious]], and [[Omnipresence]]. These attributes all work in complete and perfect harmony with one another.
-God exercises eternal and righteous judgment of the wicked in [[hell]], because of an inherent problem in the human heart, namely [[Sin]]. According to the [[Bible]], the sacrifice of [[Jesus Christ]] on the cross of [[calvary]] and then [[resurrection]], is God's merciful and gracious response to the problem of the human heart.

-Although the Bible does not use the term, it is clear that God is a triune God, or three in one.

-These are sometimes referred to as ''God the Father'', ''God the Son'' ([[Jesus Christ|Jesus]]), and the ''[[Holy Spirit]]''.
-The first hint of the Trinity is in {{Bible ref|Genesis|1|26}} which relates God saying, "Let us make man in our image", indicating that God is a plurality.

+The Sugar Documentation is written in partnership with FLOSS Manual at http://en.flossmanuals.net/ .  Translation of that documentation uses FLOSS Manual tools.
-The first verse of the [[Gospel of John]], in which Jesus is referred to as the "Word", makes clear that Jesus is synonymous with God:
+=== Language Teams ===
-{{Bible quote|In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.|book=John|chap=1|verses=1|version=NIV}}
-This verse not only says that "the Word" (Jesus) is synonymous with God, but also says that the Word was "in the beginning", which means that He existed before all else existed, something that is only true of God.
-This is reinforced two verses later, in which Jesus is described as the creator.

Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God."|book=Acts|chap=5|verses=3-4|version=NIV}}

-[[Image:Velasco Padre Eterno.jpg|left|140px|God the Father]]
-In the bible, the word "God" (θεός) does not always refer to God's being as a whole, but more specifically refers to the Person of the Father (God the Father). Here are some verses which demonstrate this:
-{{cquote|'''John 3:16''' (NASB)<br />For <u>God</u> so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten <u>Son</u>, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.}}
-{{cquote|'''1 John 4:10''' (NASB)<br />In this is love, not that we loved <u>God</u>, but that He loved us and sent <u>His Son</u> to be the propitiation for our sins.}}
-Notice how in each case, "Father" can be substituted for "God." For example, "For the ''Father'' so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son," and "not that we loved the ''Father'', but that He loved us and sent His Son."
-== Terminology ==
+=== Developers ===
-The Bible uses several different words to refer to God.
+Please refer to [[Translation Team/i18n Best Practices]] for hints on how to prepare your code for internationalization.
-"God" itself is not a name, but an [[Old English]] word meaning ''supreme being, diety'',<ref>[http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=god God] Online Etymology Dictionary.</ref> which the translators who translated the Bible in to English chose as the appropriate English word for the [[Hebrew]] ''elohim'' and the [[Greek]] ''theos'' used in the [[Old Testament]] and [[New Testament]] respectively.<ref name="DPK">Kruse, Dale P.,[http://www.layevangelism.com/advtxbk/sections/sect-10/sec10-9.htm More on the ''Names'' of God In the Bible], Advanced Training Program of Evangelism.</ref>
-The other main term for God is the Hebrew ''adonai'', usually translated ''Lord''.
+== Resources for maintainers ==
-There are various compound words also used in the Bible, such as ''el shaddai'', which means ''God Almighty'' ("''el''" is a short version of ''elohim'').<ref name="DPK" />
-''YHWH'' is given in the Bible as God's actual name.  In most English Bibles it is translated as <span style="font-variant:small-caps">''Lord''</span>, in small capitals.  The name has various other English versions, including Yehovah, Jehovah, and Yahweh.<ref>McHyde, Tim, [http://www.escapeallthesethings.com/yahweh.htm God’s Name: LORD, Yahweh, Yahveh, YHWH, YHVH, Jehovah or Yehovah?]</ref>
