  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.

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

 253 wxWidgets uses the standard GNU gettext tools for i18n so if you are already
 254 familiar with them you shouldn't have any problems with working on wxWidgets
 255 translations.
 256
 257 Here are the the steps you should follow:
 258
 259 -# Get the latest version of the file <tt>locale/wxstd.pot</tt> from the
 260    wxWidgets source tree: if you're using
 261    <a href="http://www.wxwidgets.org/develop/svn.htm">Subversion</a>
 262    or the <a href="http://wxwindows.sourceforge.net/snapshots/">daily snapshots</a>
 263    you should already have it.
 264    Otherwise you can always retrieve it directly from the cvs repository via the
 265    <a href="http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxWidgets/trunk/locale/wxstd.pot?view=co">Web interface</a>.
 266 -# Rename it to <tt>XY.po</tt> where <tt>"XY"</tt> is the 2 letter
 267    <a href="http://lcweb.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html">ISO 639-1 language code</a>
 268    for your language.
 269 -# Translate the strings in this file using either your favourite text
 270    editor or a specialized tool such as Vaclav Slavik's excellent
 271    <a href="http://poedit.sourceforge.net/" target=_top>poEdit</a> utility.
 272 -# Verify that your translations can at least be compiled (even if they
 273    are yet incomplete) by running <tt>msgfmt -v XY.po</tt> command:
 274    please note that you <i>must</i> use the <tt>-v</tt> option. In
 275    particular, please fill the header fields because msgfmt doesn't
 276    accept the default values for them.
 277 -# Send the finished translation to <a href="mailto:vadim@wxwidgets.org">Vadim Zeitlin</a>
 278    and it will be added to the next wxWidgets release or snapshot.
 279
 280 In addition, please consider subscribing to the very low volume
 281 <a href="http://lists.wxwidgets.org/mailman/listinfo/wx-translators">
 282 wxWidgets translators</a> mailing list on which the news especially important
 283 for the translators are announced.
 284
 285 Thank you in advance for your help!
