Localization

All interface commands and messages are stored in the files with "tm" extension, including English interface version used by default. The repository also contains Russian localization.

To make a new localization first create a localization template. Start .15926 Editor and execute the following command in the Python console:

tm.<name of one of tm-files>._dump_xgettext()

For example:

tm.main._dump_xgettext()

Find in the main folder with dot15926.py a new file with "pot" extension - "dot15926_.pot". For example:

dot15926_main.pot

For further work you'll need a Poedit tool (download).

To create a new localization start Poedit and go to File->New catalog from POT-file menu. Select a required pot-file, then without any other changes press OK. When prompted to save created catalog with translations do it at the following path in the software folder:

resources\locale\<localization code>\LC_MESSAGES\dot15926_<name of one of tm-files>.po

Where localization code is a two letter language code, for example en" or "ru". For example:

resources\locale\ru\LC_MESSAGES\dot15926_main.po

To update a localization open a "po" file in Poedit and update a catalog from a newer pot-file (Catalog->Update from POT-file).

Then you can start translation in Poedit.

In the Editor localization can be changed in File->Settings.
