Required software

You only need gettext and a text editor, you can optionally use a graphical editor such as GNOME Translation Editor or Lokalize.

Adding a new language

  • Edit the tools/update_messages.sh, adding the 2 letter ISO 639 language code to the LANGS variable.
  • (optional) Edit the tools/check_po.py, add to the countries mapping a value with the language code on the left and the ISO 3166-1 code of a flag on the right. The flag will only be used for continuous integration messages.
  • Run the tools/update_messages.sh script, this will create files in the locale directory for the new language. Fill in the fields, git add the files, commit and file a pull request.

Editing existing translations
