Add more languages

[neffo]

We currently support 4 languages, English, Dutch, German and Chinese (China) and I really appreciate the efforts of those who've submitted translations (to this and my other extension). I'm sure the users of this extension all around the world do too.

I'd like to extend a request to our bi-lingual users to submit their own translations, below is a quick run down on the process.

How to submit translations:

1. Install poedit. For most users it's simply a matter of installing the poedit package.
   • For Ubuntu/Debian: apt-get install poedit

• For Fedora: dnf install poedit

2. Download the translations template file for the extension here or find it within your ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/GoogleEarthWallpaper@neffo.github.com/locale/ folder.

3. Open the template file in poedit and click on "Create New Translation" in the bottom of the window.

4. Select the language you want to create a translation for. (For some languages with regional variants you might also want to select a region as well, e.g. Portugese.) [NOTE: I see some poedit warnings at this point, but you can probably ignore them.]

5. Create a translation for each line, where possible try to keep them short. And don't translate literally if it doesn't make a lot of sense. (For example, in your language "wallpaper" might not ever be used to describe a desktop background.) If you aren't completely happy with your translation, make it as "Needs Work".

6. When complete, save the .po file and compile it to a .mo file.

7. Either:

• attach both files to this thread below;

or,

• create a fork of this extension - NOTE: this requires a fair bit of know-how, so I don't recommend it unless you want to spend a bit of time learning your way around Git and Github (or are already familiar)
• save the .po and .mo file to this folder within the git repo: locale/[xx]/LC_MESSAGES/GoogleEarthWallpaper.[po/mo], or locale/[xx_XX]/LC_MESSAGES/GoogleEarthWallpaper.[po/mo] (if the translation includes is regional)
• commit the changes and create a new pull request on this extension here
