french translation?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, it's a very nice app that you have there. Did you think about making it 
localizable in french? If you need help for that, I could help you.

Thanks  :-)

Bonjour, j'ai presque fini la traduction, cependant, il manque qqs petites 
choses à faire.  Si vous avez du temps, la suivante va m'aider:

J'ai besoin de remplacer les phrases-clé pour les prévisions méteo en 
anglais pour les equivalents en français.  C'est facile mais il prend du temps 
et il devrait être bien fait.

1 - Télécharger le ci-joint et ouvre-le dans un editeur de text (gedit, 
notepad, etc.)

2 - Pour chaque phrase en guillemets, trouver la version anglais dans ce 
document: 
http://dd.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/citypage_weather/docs/forecast_conditions_icon_
code_descriptions_e.html

3 - Et le remplacer par l'equivalent dans ce document: 
http://dd.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/citypage_weather/docs/forecast_conditions_icon_
code_descriptions_f.html

4 - Ne change rien au niveau de formatage, comme les éspaces, etc.

5 - Les phrases doivent être EXACTES, majuscules, accents, etc.  Copier/Coller 
:)

6 - Exception: change "Night" à "Nuit".  Ce distinction est le mien.  Garde 
les majuscules pour les autres mots. 

Example, les premieres lignes:
        env_canada_forecast_map.put("A few clouds", WeatherIcons.PARTIALLY_CLOUDY);
        env_canada_forecast_map.put("Night A few clouds", WeatherIcons.NIGHT_LIGHT_CLOUDS);
        env_canada_forecast_map.put("A few flurries", WeatherIcons.LIGHT_SNOW);

doivent devenir:
        env_canada_forecast_map.put("Quelques nuages", WeatherIcons.PARTIALLY_CLOUDY);
        env_canada_forecast_map.put("Nuit Quelques nuages", WeatherIcons.NIGHT_LIGHT_CLOUDS);
        env_canada_forecast_map.put("Quelques averses de neige", WeatherIcons.LIGHT_SNOW);

Puis, télécharger le fichier modifier ici.

Merci! Cela va m'aider,
E.

Hello
Je peux faire ça sans problème. Je vais modifier la version anglaise vers la 
version française.

Also: When there is a warning, it should be great to have it in the widget. I 
was thinking putting all the widget in red with the links to the mobile site 
for the warning details or parsing the xml.

Some description in the current code like
"Periods of rain or thunderstorms"
is not in the EC icon code description page 
(http://dd.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/citypage_weather/docs/forecast_conditions_icon
_code_descriptions_e.html)

So there is no french translation

Hi, took a look at this.  In the past, there was no documentation for the 
datamart feeds, I took the city codes from the xml schema present with the code 
or whatever docs were available (which is also why the order is different in my 
code than in what is now present in the citypage docs).  At the time, there 
were some codes like "Periods of rain or thunderstorms", it may be that EC has 
since removed some of these codes.

If there are codes that no longer exist in the table, can you make a list of 
them, don't worry about a french translation, and just leave the english 
mappings for now.

Also, I have already translated the rest of the app, there was not actually 
that much to translate.  However, as I am not a native french speaker, feel 
free to take a look at the attached string file and feel free to make 
corrections.

I really appreciate the help with this!  Am hoping to put some time into 
EmWeather on monday and the rest of next week.

cool.
i'll run the file
i asked for the code. They are generated via a in-house program called Scribe. 
I'll look at all the possible text code Scribe can generate.

Hi, re-reading my last few comments, I realized I may not have been clear:

- I have completed finished translating the app to french, which includes 
pulling the french weather forecasts except for one thing: namely, mapping the 
icons to the french weather conditions.

- All that remains to be done for this is basic cut and paste, this is 
described in my "comment #1" above.  

- If there are weather conditions in the file I attached above that don't seem 
to have a match in the docs listed above, don't worry about them, just put them 
in a separate list so I can deal with them later.

That is it, let me know if you are engaged in this, otherwise I will do it 
myself in the next few days (mon or tuesday).  I really appreciate the help 
with this less than exciting necessity and don't want to waste anyone's time :)

Thanks, em

Em,
I have done two files, the one for french icon code mapping and the other is 
the corresponding matrice for frenc and english. The missing icon from Your 
description is in that file.
Let me know if it's ok.

Oh my so after making all those edits I realized that not all the condition 
codes are included in the docs, and some are approximate!  From the docs "Users 
may note descriptions in our forecast data which are slightly different from 
these icon code descriptions. In addition, this is only a sampling of the text 
that will be used in the abbreviated forecast descriptions."

Erg. 

Anyway, I just did it all by hand, there may be a few bugs or missing icons 
because of the lack of documentation from Env Canada.  For example, I cannot 
know if a forecast will say: "Faible neige intermittente ou bruine 
verglaçante", "Faible neige ou bruine verglaçante intermittente", or ""Faible 
neige ou bruine verglaçante intermittentes".  I tried to cover the common 
likelihoods, but I can't do every premutation for every possible forecast.

En tout cas, the french translation is now finished and included in 0.9.5.5.

Furthermore, although the forecasts are only in english and french, if someone 
would like to localize the app into their own language, it is very easy to do 
now.  Just let me know.

Thanks for all the help!

Olivier, thanks for the changes, I have merged them, though I just released the 
new version prior to getting your changes.  They will be included in the next 
update.

Thanks for the help,
