Interface Translation Guide

Most strings

Most of the translations are hosted on Transifex.net:

Non-gettextized strings

There is stuff which still requires manual handling:

New language names

If you want to add a new translation to OpenInkpot, drop a mail to the mailing list (see below) with the following information:

  • Native language name (short one: English, but not English language)
  • English language name (again, short one)

If you know the Linux locale for your language, mention it too. You also may open a ticket instead of sending a mail.

Names of disks in bookshelf

Those are "Memory card", "Internal memory" etc. Send new entries for the file to the mailing list or open tickets:

Help texts

On-line help, available from the application itself.

Not yet gettext'ized, those reside in files in packages' source code:

Please send the translations to the localizators' mailing list, in zip or tar.gz, with <lang>/ directory inside, until we find a better way to translate it.

Communication

 openinkpot-l10n is a mailing list for all translation work.

Manuals

  •  gettext manual - most of the localization is done by using gettext. Read this manual in order to understand the advanced features of gettext, such as localization comments, dealing with plural forms etc.
