-
-== Writing translatable web pages ==
-
-Translatable web pages must be PHP, and must include
-
-{{{
-require_once("../inc/translation.inc");
-}}}
-
-Literal text is replaced with `tra("text")`. For example,
-
-{{{
-page_head("Current version");
-}}}
-
-is replaced with
-
-{{{
-page_head(tra("Current version"));
-}}}
-
-For BOINC projects, the directory [source:trunk/boinc/html/languages/translations/ html/languages/translations] contains a number of 'translation files'. When a person accesses the page, the browser passes a list of languages. The BOINC PHP code finds the first of these languages for which a translation is available, or English if none. As the page is generated, each call to `tr()` replaces the token with the corresponding translated text.
-
-In developing web pages, keep in mind that word order differs between languages, so you should avoid breaking a sentence up into multiple translation units. For example, use constructs like
-
-{{{
-msgid "Already have an original 'Classic' account as of May 14, 2004?"
-"%1We've transferred it, just %2activate it%3. "
-"%4Otherwise %5create a new account%6."
-msgstr ""
-}}}
-
-with the corresponding PHP:
-
-{{{
-printf(tra("Already have an original 'Classic' account as of May 14, 2004? %1We've transferred it, just %2activate it%3. %4Otherwise %5create a new account%6."),
-"<br>", "<a href=\"sah_email_form.php\">", "</a>",
-"<p><img src=\"images/arrow_right.gif\">",
-"<a href=create_account_form.php>", "</a>"
-);
-}}}
-
-== Project-specific translations ==
-
-The web site of a BOINC-based project involves both
-
-    * BOINC pages, such as the forms for creating accounts. These are part of the BOINC source code distribution, and are updated periodically by BOINC.
-    * Project-specific pages (and BOINC pages that are modified by the project). 
-
-To allow translations of both types of pages, a project can haves its own 'project-specific translation files'. These are stored in a directory [source:trunk/boinc/html/user/project_specific_translations html/user/project_specific_translations]. Project-specific translation files override BOINC translation files.
-
-== BOINC Manager translations ==
-
-Menu names and other text in the BOINC manager are stored in files in [source:trunk/boinc/locale/ boinc/locale/].
