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

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.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&#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>
300
301 <p>
302 In addition, please consider subscribing to the very low volume
303 <a href="http://lists.wxwidgets.org/mailman/listinfo/wx-translators">
304 wxWidgets translators</a> mailing list on which the news especially important
305 for the translators are announced.
306
307 <p>
