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: | ||

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: | ||

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. | ||

|
||
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. | ||
