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
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
