I dream to reach a (digital) place, where a Guix Logo brights in the 
center of the door (intro web page), and scattered all around it, 
signposts (Links) of all imaginable languages, broadcast "Welcome" 
(Bienvenido, Nnabata, أهلا بك, 歡迎, добро пожаловать, ...).


Singular is, many digital adventurers are exploring places which uses 
their own language [1].
This wish is interestingly expressed by the Localization Lab [2],
which introduces technological terms within unrepresented languages, for 
Projects which, i feel, follows the GNU spirit [3].

Thanks for bringing this up.  I’m very much convinced this is an
important task, and I’m happy there’s already a team of dedicated
volunteers who’ve worked hard translating the manual and messages!

The next obvious step is to translate the web site.  There were open
questions as to how to do it, but I think Julien and Florian had more or
less found a way forward, so I hope we can work on it soonish.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

The method I use is the _ macro at
<https://pelzflorian.de/git/pelzfloriande-website/tree/haunt.scm>
(Guix sensibly would call such a macro G_).  It simply calls setlocale
once for each string that needs to be translated.

This has better runtime performance than using libgettextpo via nyacc
unless there are a very great number of strings.

The best performance could be gained by reading the compiled MO file
directly, but then Guile code would need to be written for reading MO
files, also performance does not matter that much when building a
static website.


Ricardo Wurmus thankfully recommended using sxpath for formatting, see
what I called __ in my code.


Note that many improvements could be made in my code,
e.g. current-lingua could be a parameter, so (I hope) it can be
avoided to change various parts of Haunt to accept procedures like
(lambda (current-lingua) …) instead of plain sxml/shtml like I did.

Regards,
Florian

When I said the current-lingua could be a parameter then I mean what
the Guile manual calls parameter object, i.e. “Guile’s facility for
dynamically bound variables”.  Maybe you would use a fluid or
something.  I am not familiar with these things.

Ah yes, I believe the issue you raised in that message (“lego
translations”) is not addressed by Florian’s approach.

However, the #_ form you propose doesn’t quite work either because
xgettext in its current form wouldn’t be able to extract it.

sirgazil proposed a solution that’s similar to format strings to address
that:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2017-12/msg00071.html

Worth a try!

Thanks,

So:

1) We could put everything in a single string, which works with
xgettext and is somewhat easy to use for translators but not quite
Scheme-like.

2) We could use something like sirgazil’s format string solution.  It
works with xgettext, but is not nice for translators.

I wrote in <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2017-12/msg00069.html>:
> This interleaving is like a format string and is common in
> applications, but it separates the value of ~SPORT~ from the context
> in which it should be translated.

3) We could write our own PO file writer and MO file reader and use it
with either Christopher’s lego translation and sirgazil’s format
strings to use whatever format we want for developers and translators.

sirgazil’s format strings could probably be used now and improved with
a custom PO/MO reader/writer later on.

The MO file format is well documented at
<https://www.gnu.org/s/gettext/manual/html_node/MO-Files.html#MO-Files>
but “it is expectable that MO file format will evolve or change over
time”.

Such a custom reader/writer could be part of Gettext or could be a
separate library.  I am not going to write it though.

Regards,
Florian

Note that “lego translation” is what we should _not_ do because it gives
translators fragments of sentences, which does not allow them to
correctly translate text.

As long as we use xgettext, we have to stick to a format-string-like
approach like what sirgazil proposes.

Writing a custom xgettext kind of tool wouldn’t help much because
gettext is fundamentally text oriented: you give it a string and it
returns a string.

So I think the alternative is:

  • use gettext, and in that case stick to a format-string-like
    mechanism, or:

  • use a completely new tool that would be able to consume and produce
    sexps (trees).

The latter doesn’t seem reasonable to me.  :-)

BTW, there might also be ideas to borrow from GNUN:

  https://www.gnu.org/software/gnun/

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Format strings are something we can try.  If they are too fragmented
for translators, we can still use a custom tool to convert them and
their fragments to a single string which gets passed to gettext.

Florian

Yes.

Another option would be to locally use XML in strings, along these
lines:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (sxml simple)
             (ice-9 match))

(define (X_ str)
  (match (xml->sxml (string-append "<BODY>"
                                   (gettext str)
                                   "</BODY>"))
    (('*TOP* ('BODY . lst)) lst)))

`(div
   ,@(X_ "This is <a href=\"/foo\">a link</a>."))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That would allow us to remain string-oriented while still enjoying the
benefits of SXML (info "(guile) Types and the Web").

Maybe we’ll need a combination of format strings and stuff like that.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I’m not sure I understand the problem well enough, but there seems to be
a middle way: using itstool with XML.  When you squint really hard XML
is close to S-exprs.

Fyi, I sent a patch a few months ago to do exactly that, but I can't find it anymore…

For such things I prefer XML like Ricardo proposed
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-02/msg00114.html>
or like the __ on my
<https://pelzflorian.de/git/pelzfloriande-website/tree/> rather than
cryptic HTML a elements and href.

However, this would again look even nicer when passing sexps to a
custom tool that converts them to a string that can get used with a
custom PO file writer or MO reader, wouldn’t it?

Should Guix just try with format strings for now?

Florian

I think we now have an overview of the possibilities (including maybe
‘itstool’ that Ricardo mentions.)  I’d say that whoever is interested
should give it a try with what looks like the most promising approach
and report back with a prototype.  :-)

One further comment: For fragmented translations, one maybe could use
a msgcontext like g_dpgettext at
<https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/blob/master/glib/ggettext.c> to
avoid fragmentation.

I tried to make gettext usable (not yet implementing any discussed
approach), but it is a little rough: I tried using msgctxts.  Sadly
Guile is missing a pgettext function, I think.  Should I use Guile’s
ffi?  I think msgctxts could help with fragmentation, as I would
prefer format strings with msgctxt over HTML-that-is-not-SHTML with
itstool (I may misunderstand itstool though).

sirgazil (Cc), long ago at
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2017-12/msg00071.html>
you said you had written an interleave function for format strings.
Do you have the code somewhere?  I see in the commit log you are still
actively working on the Guix website.

Also, I believe this discussion is actually
<https://issues.guix.info/issue/26302>.  Should I reference this
thread there?

Regards,
Florian

I don’t understand.  itstool operates on plain old XML fragments.

What’s the desired workflow?

I faced the same problem. With the current  gettext tools in Guile, I couldn't find any way to solve ambiguities.

Yes, the function is here:

https://gitlab.com/sirgazil/guile-lab/blob/master/glab/i18n.scm

I use it for my own websites

http://sirgazil.bitbucket.io/
https://sirgazil.gitlab.io/golea/

But I use it to get things done.

At first I thought of plain HTML strings, but it surely was a
misunderstanding.

I now get the impression itstool is something like Glade’s
<https://pelzflorian.de/git/gui-prog-gtk/tree/bin/copyshop/src/ui/menu.ui>.
I suppose it is a wrong impression again?

Something like

(li
 (b "Liberating.")
 " Guix is an advanced
distribution of the "
 ,(link-yellow
   #:label "GNU operating system"
   #:url (gnu-url "gnu/about-gnu.html"))
 " developed by the "
 ,(link-yellow
   #:label "GNU Project"
   #:url (gnu-url))
 "—which respects the "
 ,(link-yellow
   #:label "freedom of computer users"
   #:url (gnu-url "distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html"))
 ". ")

could be something like

(li
 (b ,(G_ "Liberating."))
 ,(I_ " Guix is an advanced distribution of the
<gnu-url-link path='gnu/about-gnu.html'>GNU operating system</link>
 developed by the <gnu-url-link>GNU Project
</gnu-url-link>—which respects the <gnu-url-link
 path='distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html'>
freedom of computer users</gnu-url-link>. "
      `(gnu-url-link
        . ,(lambda* (content #:key (path ""))
             (link-yellow
              #:label content
              #:url (gnu-url path))))))

or could be format strings like sirgazil’s code

(li
 (b ,(G_ "Liberating."))
 ,(I_ " Guix is an advanced
distribution of the ~GNU OS~ developed
by the ~PROJECT~—which respects the
~FREEDOM~. "
      (link-yellow
       #:label (G_ "GNU operating system")
       #:url (gnu-url "gnu/about-gnu.html"))
      (link-yellow
       #:label (G_ "GNU Project")
       #:url (gnu-url))
      (link-yellow
       #:label (G_ "freedom of computer users")
       #:url (gnu-url "distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html"))))

with the po file containing

#: apps/base/templates/home.scm:42
msgid ""
" Guix is an advanced\n"
"distribution of the ~GNU OS~ developed\n"
"by the ~PROJECT~—which respects the\n"
"~FREEDOM~. "
msgstr ""
"Guix ist eine vom ~PROJECT~ entwickelte,"
"fortgeschrittene Distribution des ~GNU OS~"
" — die die ~FREEDOM~ respektiert."

#: apps/base/templates/home.scm:47
msgid "GNU operating system"
msgstr "GNU-Betriebssystems"

#: apps/base/templates/home.scm:50
msgid "GNU Project"
msgstr "GNU-Projekt"

#: apps/base/templates/home.scm:50
msgid "freedom of computer users"
msgstr "Freiheit, wie man seinen Rechner benutzt,"


Format strings yield fragmented PO files, which is why it might be
better to use them with a msgctxt/pgettext.  For example, "GNU
operating system" may need different translations and grammatical
cases in different places on the website.  Without pgettext, this
approach does not work, it seems.


Another option I would like the most is using a custom PO file writer
and MO file reader that generates a single msgid directly from the
original nested s-expression.  Such a procedure seems nice to use, but
complicated to implement.

Florian

Sorry, I see now

I should have looked more closely.

I will try writing a custom xgettext that combines
nested·s-expressions·that are marked for translation with G_
to·a·single·msgstr that gets written to the·PO·file.  This combined
string will not be part of the source code but will be generated from
a nested sexp.  The PO file containing the combined strings can then
be translated as usual.  For reading the translation, the combined
msgstr will be constructed again by the marking procedure G_ and
looked up by reading from an MO file.

It will take me a few days and a MO file reader will still be missing.
I suppose it would be easier to use for the sxml’s author who would
not need to write special code to internationalize the sxml.

Florian

Find attached a work-in-progress patch to guix-artwork that constructs
PO entries from nested sexps.  Also attached is a file marked for
translation and the POT file generated from it.  No custom MO reader
is needed because gettext is a fine MO reader, the problem is only
xgettext that cannot extract sexps.  Currently missing though is a
procedure or macro for deconstructing the msgstr to an sexp, so the
patch can only generate unusable POT files at the moment.  I will take
a look at it now, but it may again take a week.  Please tell me if you
think this is the wrong approach.

Regards,
Florian

Of course I forgot to git add the current POT file and sent the wrong

I have implemented a working translation tool.  Sexp-xgettext
generates from an SHTML or other Scheme file with marked s-expressions
a POT file which can be translated and turned into an MO file from
which the code generates a localized HTML builder.  The advantage is
that existing SHTML will just have to be marked with G_ and no format
string has to be written, although sometimes the SHTML should be
adapted to produce a less complicated message in the POT file.  Find
attached an example of a marked Scheme file home.scm generating
guix-website.pot, which after manual translation generates the
attached guix.de_DE.html.

Marking a string for translation behaves like normal gettext.  Marking
a parenthesized expression (i.e. a list or procedure call) extracts
each string from the parenthesized expression.  If a symbol, keyword
or other parenthesized expression occurs between the strings, it is
extracted as an XML element.  Expressions before or after all strings
are not extracted.  If strings from a parenthesized sub-expression
shall be extracted too, the sub-expression must again be marked with
G_ unless it is the only sub-expression or it follows a quote,
unquote, quasiquote or unquote-splicing.  The order of XML elements
can be changed in the translation to produce a different ordering
inside a parenthesized expression.  If a string shall not be extracted
from a marked expression, it must be wrapped, for example by a call to
the identity procedure.

But there are still some bugs like missing line numbers and
non-working pgettext and the code is not clear enough yet.  I will
send a patch series tomorrow after I fixed these issues (even though
the documentation won’t be near as good as sirgazil’s format strings).

Regards,
Florian

Find attached patches that add internationalization support, mark the
home and about pages for translation and add a sample German
translation.  Feedback welcome.

To use them, generate an MO file and run Haunt by following the
instructions in i18n-howto.txt.  I have *not* written a Makefile to
automate these steps.

Sending these patches took longer because new bugs kept appearing.
Probably new bugs will show up when marking more files for
translation.  I will add more markings in the coming days if the
patches are OK.

I am unsure but I believe the URLs in href links should be marked with
G_ as well so translators can change them to the URL of the respective
translation of gnu.org, for example.  I will make these changes later
if you agree.

If this internationalization is to be deployed, the NGINX server
offering guix.gnu.org would need to redirect according to
Accept-Language headers.  I do not know if nginx alone can do this
properly by now, otherwise there are Lua programs for nginx to handle
Accept-Language or a custom Guile webserver could be written.

Regards,
Florian

+With sexp-xgettext, arbitrary s-expressions can be marked for
+translations (not only strings like with normal xgettext).
+
+S-expressions can be marked with G_ (simple marking for translation),
+N_ (“complex” marking with different forms depending on number like
+ngettext), C_ (“complex” marking distinguished from other markings by
+a msgctxt like pgettext) or NC_ (mix of both).
+
+Marking a string for translation behaves like normal gettext.  Marking

+inside a parenthesized expression.  If a string shall not be extracted
+from a marked expression, it must be wrapped, for example by a call to

+such as procedure calls for translation: Additional strings will be
+inserted between non-string elements.
+
+Known issues:
+
+* Line numbers are sometimes off.
+
+* Some less important other TODOs in the comments.

+;;; This script imitates xgettext, but combines nested s-expressions
+;;; in the input Scheme files to a single msgstr in the PO file.  It
+;;; works by first reading the keywords specified on the command-line,
+;;; then dealing with the remaining options using (ice-9 getopt-long).
+;;; Then, it parses each Scheme file in the POTFILES file specified
+;;; with --files-from and constructs po entries from it.  For parsing,
+;;; a PEG is used instead of Scheme’s read, because we can extract
+;;; comments with it.  The po entries are written to the PO file
+;;; specified with the --output option.  Scheme code can then use the
+;;; (sexp-xgettext) module to deconstruct the msgids looked up in the
+;;; PO file via gettext.

It would be great to add the right steps to website/.guix.scm (in
guix-artwork.git).

The nginx config is in guix-maintenance.git, but yeah, and I suspect
nginx alone can handle it.  We’ll see!

I haven’t reviewed in detail but the approach LGTM, so I’d be willing to
move forward on this.  Julien, sirgazil, Ricardo: WDYT?

We should make sure existing URLs are preserved.  Do you know if that’s
the case?

Also, I suppose we don’t translate URI paths themselves, right?  That’s
probably OK, at least as a first version.

Thanks for your work!

Then I will look at .guix.scm you mentioned (I did not notice that it
exists) and continue adding translations to the other files.

It would be nice if my code were simpler, but I do not know how and at
least it works.

Preserving URLs requires the above redirects based on the
Accept-Language HTTP headers.

That’s OK.

So /(.*) should be redirected to /en/\1, right?

I mean “guix.gnu.org/en/help” could map to “guix.gnu.org/es/ayuda”, for
instance.  That’s not the case, right?

Now I understand.  Currently the code keeps the URLs and appends the
lingua, i.e. I want to keep the URLs as before and then make nginx
respond with the file help/index.es_ES.html to a request for
guix.gnu.org/help if the HTTP request has a header
Accept-Language: es.  <a href=…> would not need to be changed in the
translation.

We could of course translate the URLs instead, we would then add a
procedure url->localized-href that calls gettext to return the
localized URL for a given URL and replace each

(@ (href "/help"))

by

(@ ,(url->localized-href "/help"))

and add --keyword='url->localized-href' to the call to xgettext.  The
downside is that the logic for nginx would need to look up the
translation instead of looking up the locale, that the logic for Haunt
would need to look up the filename in the localized builder for pages,
and that the translator would need to translate all of "/help",
"../help", "../../help" etc.

(There needs to be some mapping from the lingua “es” to the locale
identifier “es_ES.utf8” in the call to setlocale.  Currently the code
uses linguas like “es_ES” instead of “es”, which may or may not
complicate the logic for nginx, but this could easily be changed.)

Florian

I think it would be important to make sure that these URLs do not change
after they are published for the first time, in order to make sure that
links to them still work at a later point. See [1] for more elaborate
arguments against changing URLs.

Being able to change (translated) URLs while also having the old URLs
redirecting to the new ones would be nice, but this seems like it would
actually be much more challenging to do with our current setup.

Is there a way in which to state that certain translations should only
be done once, and not change afterwards?

Jelle

Yes, I agree.  A comment can be added to the POT file warning
translators not to change already translated URLs, which translators
hopefully would adhere to (?).  Since we would use a custom xgettext,
it is trivial to add such a comment to the POT.  When msginit creates
a PO file from the POT file, the comment is kept.

Nonetheless, I wonder how important translated URLs are.  Untranslated
URLs are valid for every language.  Invisible to the user,
guix.gnu.org responds with the right translation.  The disadvantage is
that users who do not speak English do not know directly what to
expect from the URL until they visit it.

Florian

Even though the attached patches allow building with .guix.scm, I
found that my previous code does not work correctly.  The
deconstruction of the translation into an sexp happened at macro
expansion time before the evaluation phase when setlocale calls took
effect, so both or neither of index.en_US.html and index.de_DE.html
contained the German translation, depending on the system-wide locale
setting.

I tried to move the deconstruction to the evaluation phase by using
local-eval:

(define (sgettext x)
  "After choosing an identifier for marking s-expressions for
translation, make it usable by defining a macro with it calling
sgettext.  If for example the chosen identifier is G_,
use (define-syntax G_ sgettext)."
  (syntax-case x ()
    ((_ exp)
     (let ((msgstr (sexp->msgid (syntax->datum #'exp))))
       #`(local-eval (pk (deconstruct (syntax->datum #'exp)
                                      (gettext #,msgstr)))
                     (the-environment))))))

which almost works, except it seems (but I am unsure) the-environment
captures the wrong environment, so functions are missing.  I see:

ERROR: In procedure %resolve-variable:
error: gnu-url: unbound variable

I try to find a minimal example.  I add the following to the pristine
guix-website (with only my first patch):
