This work in in progress. So, expect further changes.

General

Even when the website for Apache OpenOffice looks like that everything is in a single place, the website is separated in a contant part (mainly the text in HTML and MD files) and an assent part (for graphics, CSS, JavaScript).

When it should be translated then both parts have to be considered.

The website is separated into 3 sections:

Header

From the top with the Apache OpenOffice logo down to the colored navigation line.

Body

From the vertically navigation links and the news text down to the horizontal line

From the horizontal line down to the Apache logo and disclaimer links and text.

Template

There is a template to look at: https://www.openoffice.org/xx/ Here you can see which areas can be translated.

Text is managed dynamically

Parts of the header and the complete footer is not designed for translation, so it stays as it is.

Preferred parts are - of course the main page (index.html), download and why. But also the others can be translated.

In order to work with data that ca be changed dynamically (e.g., when new releases happen), some parts are only working when HTML and JavaScript parts are translated together.

Example for dynamic

The content of th drop-down-boxes on https://www.openoffice.org/xx/download/ is coming from https://www.openoffice.org/xx/download/msg_prop_l10n_xx.js 

Every text has 2 parts: A variable and it's actually value.

Example for varialbe / value

The text string "Apache OpenOffice Download" on the download webpage is coming from the .../xx/download/msg_prop_l10n_xx.js:

Variable "l10n.dl_headline_text" and value "Apache OpenOffice Download". There are some control chancters like  sum (=) ans the semicolon (;). Please make sure not to delete or change them. Otherwise unforseen problem can happen.


However, not every text can be managed with JavaScript. Especially when JavaScript is no option, it is still hard-coded in the HTML files.
