core, bridge: new signal actionNew to launch an action from the backend (e.g. display a dialog message):
- SAT.actionNew is a shortcut to call bridge.actionNew with a generated id. The id may be used in the future to ignore an action (e.g.: an action is sent to all frontends to accept a file, one of the frontend did manage the dialog, the other ones can then ignore this dialog), but is not used for now.

69 | 1 First of all, thank you for helping translating SàT :) |

223 | 3 NOTE: *.po files are in i18n directory |

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: |

771 | 9 |
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: | |

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. | |
