2 years ago Hi, @Alvatex! I can say some technical things about translations. I do not know the policies for making and reviewing translations. I speak some Spanish, so I could help review the Spanish translation.
The translations are in the po directory. For example, the Spanish translation is in po/es.po.
The translations use the "portable object" file format. Each translated string is described by two lines.
#: ../data/ui/prefs.glade.h:53
msgid "This program was not found on your system."
msgstr "No se encontró este programa en su sistema."The msgid line is a label for the string. You do not normally edit that. The msgstr line is a translation of the string. You can edit that.
In Gummi, sometimes a menu item or a button has an underlined letter. You can type that letter to select the menu item or the button. In the translation file, there is an underscore before the underlined letter.
#: ../data/ui/gummi.glade.h:63
msgid "Find Ne_xt"
msgstr "Buscar _siguiente"Here is more information about portable object files. Everyone, please tell me if I made any mistakes.
I was trying to reach you alexandervdm, to ask how can be able to make a translation to Japanese/Korean/Turk review the German/Spanish versions. The wiki section does not shows active parts of contributing.
I just make this github account and Im not used to github, (Im running CVS). Greetings.
