<LINK REL="STYLESHEET" TYPE="text/css" HREF="../cups-printable.css">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1 CLASS="title">Translating and Customizing CUPS</H1>
<P>Thanks to its extensive use of templates, images, and message catalogs, CUPS can be easily translated (or customized!) to suit your needs. This help file will guide you through the CUPS localization files so you can get the most out of it.</P>
<H2 CLASS="title" ID="INTRO">Getting Started</H2>
<P>Start by downloading the CUPS source code from <A HREF="https://openprinting.github.io/cups/" TARGET="_blank">openprinting.github.io/cups</A>. After you extract the files from the source archive (or clone the Git repository), you will want to copy the following files and directories:</P>
<UL>
<LI><VAR>desktop/cups.desktop</VAR> - the GNOME/KDE desktop file pointing to the CUPS web interface</LI>
<LI><VAR>doc/index.html.in</VAR> - the web interface home page</LI>
<LI><VAR>locale/cups.pot</VAR> - the message catalog</LI>
<LI><VAR>templates/*.tmpl</VAR> and <VAR>templates/header.tmpl.in</VAR> - the web interface template files</LI>
</UL>
<P>With the exception of the message catalogs and desktop file, localization files are placed in subdirectories under the <VAR>doc</VAR> and <VAR>templates</VAR> using the locale name. Locale names are either <VAR>ll</VAR> or <VAR>ll_CC</VAR>, where "ll" is the 2-letter language code and "CC" is the 2-letter country code. <em>CUPS does not currently use or support the newer <VAR>ll-region</VAR> syntax for locale names.</em></P>
<P>All non-image files must be encoded using the UTF-8 character set.</P>
<H2 CLASS="title" ID="SUBMIT">Submitting a Translation for CUPS</H2>
<P>To submit a translation for inclusion in CUPS, translate the desktop file, all of the template files, the <VAR>index.html.in</VAR> file, and the message catalog. Place these files in the correct subdirectories in the CUPS source code archive and run the following command to create an archive with your files:</P>
<PRE CLASS="command">
tar cvf <I>ll_CC</I>.tar.gz desktop/cups.desktop doc/<I>ll_CC</I> locale/cups_<I>ll_CC</I>.po templates/<I>ll_CC</I>
</PRE>
<P>Replace "ll_CC" with the locale name for your translation. Once you have created the archive, go to the <A HREF="https://github.com/apple/cups" TARGET="_blank">CUPS project page</A> and submit a bug report, attaching the translation to the report.</P>
<P>Alternately, you can clone the CUPS project on GitHub, make your changes, and submit a pull request from the same link.</P>
<H2 CLASS="title" ID="DESKTOP">The Desktop File</H2>
<P>The <VAR>desktop/cups.desktop</VAR> file provides a link to the CUPS web interface from desktop environments such as GNOME and KDE. To translate this file, add two lines to the bottom with the <tt>Name</tt> and <tt>Comment</tt> keys:</P>
<PRE CLASS="command">
Name[<I>ll_CC</I>]=<I>Translation of "Manage Printing"</I>
Comment[<I>ll_CC</I>]=<I>Translation of "CUPS Web Interface"</I>
</PRE>
<H2 CLASS="title" ID="HOMEPAGE">The Home Page</H2>
<P>The <VAR>index.html.in</VAR> file is a complete HTML file that is displayed when the user visits "http://localhost:631/". Edit the existing <VAR>doc/index.html.in</VAR> and save it in the <VAR>doc/ll_CC</VAR> subdirectory so that the configure script can generate it. After configuring, run "make install" in the <VAR>doc</VAR> subdirectory to test the new home page.</P>
<H2 CLASS="title" ID="CATALOGS">Message Catalogs</H2>
<P>CUPS message catalogs are GNU gettext ".po" text files that provide a list of localized message strings for the CUPS software. Message catalogs are named <VAR>cups_ll.po</VAR> or <VAR>cups_ll_CC.po</VAR>, where "ll" is the standard 2-letter abbreviation for the language and "CC" is the standard 2-letter abbreviation for the country.</P>
<P>When translating a new message catalog, copy the <VAR>cups.pot</VAR> message catalog file in the <VAR>locale</VAR> subdirectory of the CUPS source code. For example, to start translating the message catalog to Canadian French, you would type the following commands:</P>
<PRE CLASS="command">
cd locale
cp cups.pot cups_fr_CA.po
</PRE>
<P>Alternatively, you can copy the existing <VAR>cups_fr.po</VAR> message catalog and then make any necessary changes.</P>
<P>Once you have make your copy of the file, edit it using your favorite text editor or translation program to translate the text to the desired language.</P>
<P>Then validate your translation using the <VAR>locale/checkpo</VAR> utility:</P>
<PRE CLASS="command">
cd locale
./checkpo cups_ll_CC.po
</PRE>
<P>After fixing any errors in your translation, add your locale to the <CODE>LANGUAGES</CODE> variable in the <VAR>Makedefs</VAR> file and run the "make install" command in the <VAR>locale</VAR> subdirectory to test the translation. <em>This variable is automatically updated when you run the configure script.</em></P>
<H2 CLASS="title" ID="TEMPLATES">Template Files</H2>
<P>The CUPS scheduler provides a web interface that can be used to do many common printing and administration tasks. The built-in web server supports localization of web pages through the use of subdirectories for each locale, e.g. "fr" for French, "de" for German, "fr_ca" for French in Canada, and so forth.</P>
<P>Template files are HTML files with special formatting characters in them that allow substitution of variables and arrays. The CUPS CGI programs (<CODE>admin.cgi</CODE>, <CODE>classes.cgi</CODE>, <CODE>help.cgi</CODE>, <CODE>jobs.cgi</CODE>, and <CODE>printers.cgi</CODE>) use these template file to provide dynamic content for the web interface. Template files are installed in the <VAR>/usr/share/cups/templates</VAR> directory by default. <A HREF="table1">Table 1</a> lists the various template files and their purpose.</P>
<P>Translated versions of the template files should be saved in
the <VAR>templates/ll_CC</VAR> subdirectory. For example,
Canadian French template files should be saved in the
<VAR>templates/fr_CA</VAR> subdirectory. After you have
translated all of the templates, add the locale to the
<CODE>LANGUAGES</CODE> variable in the
<VAR>Makedefs</VAR> file and run "make install" in the
<VAR>templates</VAR> subdirectory to test the translation.</P>

<H4 ID="VARIABLE">Inserting Attributes and Values</H4>
<P>Template files consist of HTML with variable substitutions for named inside curly braces "{name}". Variable names are generally the IPP attribute names with the hyphen ("-") replaced by the underscore ("_") character. For example, the <TT>job-printer-uri</TT> attribute is renamed to <TT>job_printer_uri</TT>.</P>
<P>Curley braces ("{" and "}") to indicate substitutions, and the backslash ("\") character for quoting. To insert any of these special characters as-is you need to use the HTML <CODE>&name;</CODE> mechanism or prefix each special character with the backslash ("\".)</P>
<P>You substitute the value of a variable using <CODE>{NAME}</CODE> in your template file. If the variable is undefined then the <CODE>{NAME}</CODE> string is output as-is.</P>
<P>To substitute an empty string if the variable is undefined, use <CODE>{?NAME}</CODE> instead.</P>
<H4>Array Substitutions</H4>
<P>The number of array elements can be inserted using <CODE>{#NAME}</CODE>. If the array is undefined then 0 is output. The current array element (starting at 1) is inserted with <CODE>{#}</CODE>.</P>
<P>Arrays are handled using <CODE>{[NAME]</CODE> at the beginning of a section and <CODE>}</CODE> at the end. The information between the closing bracket ("]") and closing brace ("}") is repeated for as many elements as are in the named array. For example, the following template will display a list of each job in the <CODE>job_id</CODE> array:</P>
<PRE CLASS="command">
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TH>Job ID</TH>
<TH>Destination</TH>
<TH>Title</TH>
</TR>
{[job_id]
<TR>
<TD>{?job_id}</TD>
<TD>{?job_printer_name}</TD>
<TD>{?job_name}</TD>
</TR>
}
</TABLE>
</PRE>
<P>Arrays can be nested, however all elements within the curly braces ("{" and "}") are indexed using the innermost array.</P>
<H4>Conditional Tests</H4>
<P>Templates can also test variables against specific values and conditionally include text in the template. The format is:</P>
<PRE CLASS="command">
{<I>variable</I>?<I>true</I>:<I>false</I>}
{<I>variable</I>=<I>value</I>?<I>true</I>:<I>false</I>}
{<I>variable</I>!<I>value</I>?<I>true</I>:<I>false</I>}
{<I>variable</I><<I>value</I>?<I>true</I>:<I>false</I>}
{<I>variable</I>><I>value</I>?<I>true</I>:<I>false</I>}
</PRE>
<P>where <VAR>true</VAR> is the text that is included if the condition is true and <VAR>false</VAR> is the text that is included if the condition is false. A value of <CODE>#</CODE> is replaced with the current element number (starting at 1.) The character after the variable name specifies the condition to test. <A HREF="#table2">Table 2</A> shows the available test conditions.</P>

<H4 ID="LOCTMPL">What to Localize in a Template File</H4>
<P>Because HTML contains both markup (that generally is not localized) and text (which <em>is</em> localized), you should carefully avoid changing the markup unless it contains human-readable text. The following HTML examples show how to correctly localize template files:</P>
<P CLASS="command">
<!-- English table heading --><br>
<table class="list" summary="Printer List"><br>
<br>
<!-- Correctly localized to French; the class attribute is unchanged but summary is localized --><br>
<table class="list" summary="Liste des imprimantes"><br>
<br>
<br>
<!-- English hyperlink --><br>
<li><a {SECTION=help?class="active" :}href="/help/">Help</a></li><br>
<br>
<!-- Correctly localized to Danish; the href attribute is unchanged while the link text is localized --><br>
<li><a {SECTION=help?class="active" :}href="/help/">Hjælp</a></li><br>
</P>
<H3 ID="CGI">CGI Programs</H3>
<P>CUPS uses five CGI programs to manage the dynamic web interfaces:</P>
<UL>
<LI><CODE>admin.cgi</CODE></LI>
<LI><CODE>classes.cgi</CODE></LI>
<LI><CODE>help.cgi</CODE></LI>
<LI><CODE>jobs.cgi</CODE></LI>
<LI><CODE>printers.cgi</CODE></LI>
</UL>
<P>Each CGI program accepts standard form variables such as <CODE>OP</CODE> for the operation to perform, <CODE>PRINTER_NAME</CODE> for the printer or class name to operate on, <CODE>QUERY</CODE> for any search words,<CODE>FIRST</CODE> for the first class, job, or printer to display, and <CODE>ORDER</CODE> to control the order that classes, jobs, or printers are displayed.</P>
<P>In addition, the <CODE>classes.cgi</CODE>, <CODE>jobs.cgi</CODE>, and <CODE>printers.cgi</CODE> programs support a <CODE>WHICH_JOBS</CODE> variable to control which jobs are displayed. <A HREF="#table3">Table 3</A> lists the supported values.</P>
