Translating CNProg

Currently cnprog “understands” Chinese, English and Spanish.

To translation to another language – you need to work on two files:

/locale/lang_code/LC_MESSAGES/django.po
/templates/content/js/com.cnprog.i18n.js

Steps to translate django.po file:

create a directory /locale/your_lang_code/LC_MESSAGE
copy a django.po file from the translation that you understand to that new directory
translate strings that start with “msgstr”, keep strings “msgid” intact and preserve overall format.
at any time run
```
python manage.py compilemessages
```
– that will create django.mo file that is actually feeding translations into the application
any strings that have a comment above them like #, fuzzy will not be shown as translated – verify translation for those and then remorve the “fuzzy” string.
