Translators create a translation by creating the appropriate .po file in the /po directory. Please see the gettext info pages for an overview and instructions. Basically: - Add your language code to the LINGUAS file - then get started translating the strings in your ??.po file. Note: The strings for debug output is intentionally not marked for translation. To update a specific translation: - intltool-update [lang] (ie. intltool-update fr). To update all translation files, use make update-po. You should only use it when needed (before a release or when there were many changes in source code). Helper scripts: gen_translations_stats.sh generate statistics about translations regen_potfiles.sh generate a patch to sync POTFILES.in with current source files
