Localization of C5

Permalink
Hi,

Did my best searching through the help forum but can't really find how we could make a translation into a different language for version 5.3.x

Any ideas?

Hi indisbaltic,

I wonder if you could shed some light here, as I'm in the dark...

How can I create a new locale for 5.3.3 from scratch?

Any help highly appreciated.

Best regards,
-Costa

you probably should send Andrew a message so he can create the folders in svn for you

Get the latest .po file here:

Use an editor like Kbabel, Lokalize, gTranslator, or poEdit to translate it.

How do you merge an older messages.po with already a lot of work into the new .po?

I usually use KBabel to simply rough translate the new file using the old one.
The recommended way it to use 'msgmerge' on Linux or Mac (I guess) like:
msgmerge -N old.po new.po
Make sure to keep a backup copy just in case.
