Voices translation
Contents
Get the voices
From the source code
First, grab the development tree and the voices in a separate top level directory, then make a link from boards/voices to this location. You can do it by following this process:
git clone git://git.gnome.org/gcompris
git clone -l gcompris voices
cd voices
git checkout -b voices origin/voices
cd ../gcompris/boards
ln -s ../../voices .
When compiling GCompris, you must create a link from boards/voices to the place where you extracted the voices.
Online
Alternatively, you can browse the voices online from the gnome git online repository.
Create your voices directory
First copy the English voices as a template in a new directory with you locale name (e.g. my):
cd boards/voices
cp -r en my
Provide here voice translation in boards/voices/my for each English voice.
Recording / Encoding
It is best to choose somebody that speaks and articulate well your language.
- You can make the recording with audacity. It is mandatory to use mono wav 16bit/44100Hz to get the best quality/size ratio and because this works for any sound card.
- Save as WAV file
- Apply loudness transform with sox if necessary. You may use a script like this if the sound is too low:
#!/bin/sh
mkdir modif
for i in *.wav; do
sox $i -r 44100 -b 16 modif/$i norm
done
- In the directory where WAV files are run do:
oggenc -q0 --downmix -a "(name of author) -d "date of recording (YYYY/MM/DD)" -c "copyright=GPL V3+" *.wav
The ogginfo command should display the comment.
- Copy OGG files in the corresponding directory
Alphabet
The English alphabet directory contains files named U0030.ogg. These are the voices for each single letter in your locale with a UTF-8 Unicode notation. For example U+0030 is the character 0. You can get the table for each subset.
Shipping
Once done, the easiest way is to tar all this files and send them to the GCompris maintainer.
cd boards/voices
tar -cvzf voices_my.tgz my
Integration
Nothing has to be done, just run 'make install' at GCompris to level. The voices will be installed in the proper directory and GCompris will play them. Run GCompris in your locale and you should hear your voices.
Checking
At top level, run:
./tools/check_missing_voices.pl <locale>
With for example locale being fr for French.
