| 69 | 1 First of all, thank you for helping translating SàT :) |
| 2 | |
| 223 | 3 NOTE: *.po files are in i18n directory |
| 4 | |
| 69 | 5 To translate a file, you can use a dedicated tool as the excellent gtranslator: |

7 - use the template .po file (e.g. sat.po) and name it to your translated language (e.g. fr.po for french); you can preferably generate a new template directly from the source with the following command (eventually adapted, the following command use zsh's globbing syntax), launched from root sat dir after having emptied the build directory: |

| 10 - then to start a new translation, copy i18n/sat.po to your language file, e.g. cd i18n; cp sat.po fr.po | |
| 69 | 11 |
| 12 - use the choosed tool (a simple text editor can be sufficient) to edit the file: e.g. gtranslator fr.po | |
| 13 | |
| 14 - once you translation is finished (or partly finished: the english sentences are used if there is no translation), you can test them by generating a binary and moving it to the right place with the following commands: | |

15 > msgfmt -o sat.mo fr.po |
| 69 | 16 > mv sat.mo i18n/fr/LC_MESSAGES/sat.mo |
| 17 | |
| 18 - if you have already a translation, and want to update it (new translations to do, some sentences have changed), you can use the following commands: | |
| 19 > msgmerge fr.po sat.po > fr2.po | |
| 20 and if everything is allright | |
| 21 > mv fr2.po fr.po | |
| 22 | |
| 771 | 23 Don't forget that you can (and should !) use the version-control system (mercurial, the "hg" command) to keep history of you translations. |
| 69 | 24 |
| 25 You can check the fr.po file to see how it's done and to know what to put while you set up you translation tool. | |
