TRANSLATORS

Sonata provides a quick and easy way of creating a translation for 
your language. If you find this software useful and are capable of
adding a language that has not yet been translated, it would be
greatly appreciated.

Adding a new translation
------------------------

1. Download the latest sources with git
	$ git clone git://git.berlios.de/sonata

2. Generate a template
	$ cd po
	$ intltool-update -p
	$ mv untiled.pot <LANGCODE>.po

3. Translate the strings

4. Join the sonata-translators mailing list:
	https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/sonata-translations

5. Send your patch to sonata-translations@lists.berlios.de and Cc
   the maintainer Stephen Boyd <bebarino@gmail.com>

6. Keep the po file updated for future releases ;-)

Updating an existing translation
----------------------

1. Download the latest sources with git
	$ git clone git://git.berlios.de/sonata
