Translation Tips

For editing the files that build Plesk online help system, we recommend using a

WYSIWYG HTML editor which supports working with files in UTF-8. Using such editor

makes the process of translation more comfortable because it

 lets you concentrate on modifying the help content without the necessity of

separating it from the HTML syntax;

 prevents you from modifying anything besides the help content, which guarantees

that the files will not be corrupted somehow.

Important: Do not change the files encoding: It must be UTF-8. Otherwise, the texts

you translated may be displayed incorrectly.

Compiling LP

Once you translated the locale-defining files to a required language, you are ready to

compile them to a language pack, which will be easily installed to Plesk afterwards.

 To compile an LP:

1 Unpack the std_lp.tgz archive downloaded with this Localization

Kit.

2 Go to the directory std/dist/ created during unpacking the archive

on the previous step.

3 In the std/dist/, create the LP directories structure (for details,

refer to the Language Pack Content (on page 9) section) assuming that

std/dist/ is an LP root. Replace <locale> in directories names with

the name of your language pack.

For example, if making up a language pack for Dutch spoken in The Netherlands

(nl-NL), the directories you create must be std/dist/plib/locales/nl-NL and

std/dist/htdocs/locales/nl-NL. For the list of locale/LP names supported

by Plesk, refer to the Locale Codes (on page 20) section.

4 Copy your translated LP files to the directories created on the

previous step.

Be sure to include to the std/dist/ directory all directories and files building an

LP: Even if you are making a "partial" LP (only GUI and contextual help messages

translated), include the default online help files and folders. Otherwise, your LP will

not be compiled (in case when htdocs/... folders are missing), or no online help

will be available after applying the LP (in case when files in the htdocs/.../

folders are missing).
