Translation
The OTP javascript webapp can be switch between different languages by changing one parameter value.
Things to know about multiple languages in OTP:
-
The languages currently available are here : http://opentripplanner.org/browser/trunk/opentripplanner-webapp/src/main/webapp/js/otp/locale
-
To switch between languages, one needs to change the variable 'otp.config.locale' in file config.js (line 11)
NOTE:
-
Many of the translations are a bit out of date with recent work to localize the webapp (and thus contain 'default' English translations where a translation string is missing). As of May 2011, Italian.js, followed by Spanish.js (missing a few new strings) are the most complete.
-
If you can help translate any of the language files, or want to add a new language, contributions are warmly welcomed by the user mailing list.
-
If you're looking to contribute new translations, a discussion on getting Italian translations into OTP might be interesting reading.
-
The was talk a year ago (April 2010) of changing the translation scheme in OTP to GNU get text Portable Object (PO) files. A good idea, which might get revisited (as having our translation strings in .js is limiting for anything other than a browser based UI).
