39 Some translations are based on previous translations by other people.
40 The history of translations can be found in the po files.
44 1. Multibyte character support must be enabled in WindowMaker.
46 2. WindowMaker must also be started from a terminal program that can
47 display the messages in that language, like xterm that supports Korean
50 3. Uses iso8859-2 character set.
54 If you want to translate WindowMaker messages to some other language:
55 1 - type make WindowMaker.pot
56 2 - translate WindowMaker.pot like:
59 msgstr "%s abortado.\n"
61 where msgid is the original message and msgstr is the translated
62 message. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE msgid LINES.
64 The info pages for gettext has more detailed information on how to
67 3 - (maintainer only) put the locale name in configure.in, in the list of
70 Then rename the WindowMake.pot file to the language code
71 with a .po extension, reconfigure WindowMaker and run
74 To update an already translated message file use the msgmerge command. As in:
75 msgmerge WindowMaker.pot pt.po > pt.po.new
77 If you use an older version of gettext, the command is tupdate, instead
82 - if you think an error message is too obscure just ask me about it.
83 - you don't need to translate every single word. Some words/expressions are
84 easier to understand in the original English form than in our
86 - some strings used in dialog panels and other GUI parts are limited by
87 the size of the widget. Unfortunately, the only way to verify that is by
89 - you can use characters other than standard ASCII, if needed. Keep in mind
90 that if error messages that are output to stdout (instead of in a GUI dialog)
91 is translated using some character set different than ASCII, it will require
92 that the terminal from where wmaker is launched be able to display such
93 characters. For example, if you translate _all_ messages to greek, you'll
94 need to run wmaker from a xterm that can display greek.
95 - if you update a translation of someone else, please contact the current
96 maintainer, so that we don't have duplicate work. Also put a "history" log in
97 the top of the file, like:
99 # Portuguese Message Catalog
103 # 0.17.5 Joao da Silva
106 You may also want to translate the menu definition file.
107 Send the translated files to me, so that I can include them
108 in the next distribution.
