Quick Guide for new translations
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you want to translate Geany into another language, please go to the
|
|
language statistics page (see below) to see whether your desired
|
|
language already exists. If it already exists, please read the next
|
|
section. Otherwise, get the SVN version of Geany, change to the po
|
|
directory and start the new translation with:
|
|
msginit -l ll_CC -o ll.po -i geany.pot
|
|
|
|
Fill in ll with the language code and CC with the country code. For
|
|
example, to translate Geany into Italian you would type:
|
|
msginit -l it_IT -o it.po -i geany.pot
|
|
|
|
This will create a file it.po. This file can be opened with a text
|
|
editor (like Geany ;-)) or you can also use a graphical interface. I
|
|
can suggest PoEdit(http://www.poedit.org/), but there are several
|
|
other GUIs.
|
|
|
|
When you have finished editing the file, check the file with:
|
|
msgfmt -c --check-accelerators=_ it.po
|
|
or by using the intl_stats.sh script inside the po-directory with
|
|
./intl_stats.sh -a it
|
|
|
|
Please take care of menu accelerators(strings containing a "_"). The
|
|
"_" character should also be in your translation. Additionally, it
|
|
would be nice if these accelerators are not twice for two strings
|
|
inside on dialog or sub menu.
|
|
|
|
Then send the file to Frank Lanitz and he will add the translation.
|
|
|
|
It is a good idea to write to Frank before you start or while
|
|
translating, because he can give you some hints on translating and
|
|
ensure that the translation is not already in progress.

Notes for updating translations
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you want to update an existing translation, please contact Frank
|
|
Lanitz. He is supervising all translation issues and will contact the
|
|
maintainer of the translation you want to update to avoid any
|
|
conflicts.
|
|
|
