Thank you for your interest in translating the GeoGebra Introductory Book to your language! Please note that the book chapters are also available as individual Workshop Handouts which you might want to translate at the same time.
The GeoGebra Introductory Book covers the basic introduction to the dynamic mathematics software GeoGebra. It can be used both for workshops and for self learning and includes some chapters with practice examples. The book is written in Open Office Writer / Microsoft Word format. Open Office can be downloaded for free from www.openoffice.org. This document describes how to translate the GeoGebra Introductory Book from scratch or how to update your previous translation to the latest version using Open Office Writer or Microsoft Word.
Download Files
Download the latest version of the English Introductory Book and the accompanying GeoGebra files from http://www.geogebra.org/source/translation/book/. The zip file contains the English version (.doc) as the basis for your GeoGebra constructions, dynamic worksheets, and picture files the Introductory Book is referring to.
Updating translators: Download the last version of the GeoGebra Introductory Book in your language. In order to update this existing version of your translated book, we provide a file that tells you about the changes to be made. For example, there is a text file in the zip file of the GeoGebra 4 introductory book telling you about changes compared to the previous 3.2 version of the book.
Translation
Open the Files in MS Word / Open Office Writer
First time translators: Open the English Introductory Book document and save it under a name that shows your language, e.g. ggb-intro-es30.doc (“es” for Spanish).
Updating translators: Open the latest help document (doc format) in your language.
Translate the Text
First time translators: In order to translate the text, replace the English text by your translated text. Make sure to read the notes below carefully.
Updating translators: Use the changes file (e.g. ggb-intro-en-30to32.txt) to update your translation.
Important Notes for Everyone:
- DO NOT translate the table of contents at the beginning of the document! It will be generated automatically.
- DO NOT delete any hyperlinks (see 4. Translate Hyperlinks).
- DO NOT delete any images (e.g. toolbar icons).
- DO NOT change any formatting of the text (i.e. font size, bold, italics)
Translate the Hyperlinks
After translating all text of the GeoGebra Introductory Book, you should go through all hyperlinks to check if they are in your language:
- In order to translate a hyperlink, click into the middle of the word of the hyperlink and start typing your translation. This keeps the hyperlink and lets you insert your translated hyperlink text. Then delete the English letters at the beginning and the end of your translated hyperlink text.
- Repeat step 1 for every hyperlink that is not in your language yet.
- Many of the hyperlinks in this document link to the corresponding GeoGebra files or to pictures. If you plan to translate their file names as well, please change the hyperlinks accordingly.
Translators
Please add a section "Translated by" with your names below the authors.
Submitting your Translation
After finishing your translation please save your file in .doc format and send it to translation@geogebra.org via e-mail.
