Re: How to start a new po-files translation?



Dear "Laboratory",
We in our Bashkir University want to start a Bashkir translation of Debian
PO-files. But it is really hard to find any guide for a new language
translation. What we need to do first?
basically you take the source, copy whatever.pot to
whatever.<your_language_code> and start translating. There
are specialised editors such as Lokalize (KDE), but basically you can
take any editor.

To get an overview, run "info gettext". You may also want to have a look
at (1) for configuration dialogues, (2) documentation (mainly manual
pages), (3) program messages. There you will find links to the pot files.

Cheers,
   Martin
