  27 wxWidgets uses a certain number of user-readable strings such as
  28 <tt>"help"</tt> or <tt>"Load file"</tt> which should be translated to the
  29 users language if it is different from English. wxWidgets has built in support
  30 for internationalization (i18n from now on) which allows for this to happen
  31 automatically if the translations to the current language are available.
  32
  33 <p>
  34 You may find here the list of all existing translations with the addresses of
  35 the official translators whom you should contact if you would like to submit
  36 any corrections to the translations for your language. Also, please
  37 <a href="#howtohelp">see below</a> if you would like to translate wxWidgets to
  38 your language if it is not mentioned here (or to help with one which already
  39 is -- it is quite helpful to have several translators for one language at
  40 least for proof reading).

  49 Below is the table containing the list of languages supported by wxWidgets.
  50 The columns of this table have the obvious meaning: in each row you will see
  51 the language, the official translator (if any) for it and the status of the
  52 translations as of wxWidgets 2.3.

  55 Please note that email addresses in the table below are intentionally invalid
  56 to foil spam robots, remove one <tt>@</tt> from them.

 270 wxWidgets uses the standard GNU gettext tools for i18n so if you are already
 271 familiar with them you shouldn&#39;t have any problems with working on wxWidgets
 272 translations. 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&#39;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.wxwindows.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&#39;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&#39;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>

 302 In addition, please consider subscribing to the very low volume
 303 <a href="http://lists.wxwindows.org/mailman/listinfo/wx-translators">
 304 wxWidgets translators</a> mailing list on which the news especially important
 305 for the translators are announced.
