Here are the the steps you should follow: 273<ol> 274 <li>Get the latest version of the file <tt>locale/wxstd.po</tt> from the 275 wxWidgets source tree: if you're using <a href="cvs.htm">cvs</a> 276 or the <a href="http://wxwindows.sf.net/snapshots/">daily snapshots</a>, 277 you should already have it. Otherwise you can always 278 retrieve it directly from the cvs repository via the Web interface 279 <a href="http://cvs.wxwidgets.org/viewcvs.cgi/wxWidgets/locale/wxstd.po">here</a>. 280 281 <li>Rename it to <tt>XY.po</tt> where <tt>"XY"</tt> is the 2 letter 282 <a href="http://lcweb.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html">ISO 639-1 language code</a> 283 for your language. 284 285 <li>Translate the strings in this file using either your favourite text 286 editor or a specialized tool such as Vaclav Slavik's excellent 287 <a href="http://poedit.sourceforge.net/" target=_top>poEdit</a> 288 utility. 289 290 <li>Verify that your translations can at least be compiled (even if they 291 are yet incomplete) by running <tt>msgfmt -v XY.po</tt> command: 292 please note that you <i>must</i> use the <tt>-v</tt> option. In 293 particular, please fill the header fields because msgfmt doesn't 294 accept the default values for them. 295 296 <li>Send the finished translation to 297 <a href="mailto:vadim@wxwidgets.org">Vadim Zeitlin</a> and it will be 298 added to the next wxWidgets release or snapshot. 299</ol> 300 301<p> 302In addition, please consider subscribing to the very low volume 303<a href="http://lists.wxwidgets.org/mailman/listinfo/wx-translators"> 304wxWidgets translators</a> mailing list on which the news especially important 305for the translators are announced. 306 307<p> 308Thank you in advance for your help! 309 310<hr> 311Please contact <A HREF="mailto:vadim@wxwidgets.org">me</A> with 312any comments/suggestions. 313 314</body> 315</html> 316 317 318
