14 wxWidgets uses a certain number of user-readable strings such as
15 <tt>"help"</tt> or <tt>"Load file"</tt> which should be translated to the
16 users language if it is different from English. wxWidgets has built in support
17 for internationalization (@e i18n from now on) which allows for this to happen
18 automatically if the translations to the current language are available.
19
20 You may find here the list of all existing translations with the addresses of
21 the official translators whom you should contact if you would like to submit
22 any corrections to the translations for your language.
23
24 Also, please see @ref page_translations_howtohelp if you would like to translate
25 wxWidgets to your language if it is not mentioned here (or to help with one which
26 already is - it is quite helpful to have several translators for one language at
27 least for proof reading).

37 Below is the table containing the list of languages supported by wxWidgets.
38 The columns of this table have the obvious meaning: in each row you will see
39 the language, the official translator (if any) for it and the status of the
40 translations.

354 wxWidgets uses the standard <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/">GNU
355 gettext</a> tools for i18n so if you are already familiar with them you
356 shouldn't have any problems with working on wxWidgets translations.
357
358 Here are the steps you should follow:
359
360 -# Get the latest version of the file <tt>locale/wxstd.pot</tt> from the
361 wxWidgets source tree: if you're using
362 <a href="http://www.wxwidgets.org/develop/svn.htm">Subversion</a>
363 or the <a href="http://wxwindows.sourceforge.net/snapshots/">daily snapshots</a>
364 you should already have it.
365 Otherwise you can always retrieve it directly from the Subversion repository via the
366 <a href="http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxWidgets/trunk/locale/wxstd.pot?view=co">Web interface</a>.
367 -# Rename it to <tt>XY.po</tt> where <tt>"XY"</tt> is the 2 letter
368 <a href="http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/English_list.php">ISO 639-2 language code</a>
369 for your language.
370 -# Translate the strings in this file using either your favourite text
371 editor or a specialized tool such as Vaclav Slavik's excellent
372 <a href="http://www.poedit.net/">poEdit</a> utility.
373 -# Verify that your translations can at least be compiled (even if they
374 are yet incomplete) by running <tt>msgfmt -v XY.po</tt> command:
375 please note that you <i>must</i> use the <tt>-v</tt> option. In
376 particular, please fill the header fields because @c msgfmt doesn't
377 accept the default values for them.
378 -# Send the finished translation to <a href="mailto:vadim@wxwidgets.org">Vadim Zeitlin</a>
379 and it will be added to the next wxWidgets release or snapshot.
380
381 In addition, please consider subscribing to the very low volume
382 <a href="http://lists.wxwidgets.org/mailman/listinfo/wx-translators">
383 wxWidgets translators</a> mailing list on which the news especially important
384 for the translators are announced.
385
386 Thank you in advance for your help!
