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

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

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

 268 wxWindows uses the standard GNU gettext tools for i18n so if you are already
 269 familiar with them you shouldn&#39;t have any problems with working on wxWindows
 270 translations. Here are the the steps you should follow:
 271 <ol>
 272     <li>Get the latest version of the file <tt>locale/wxstd.po</tt> from the
 273         wxWindows source tree: if you&#39;re using <a href="cvs.htm">cvs</a>
 274         or the <a href="http://wxwindows.sf.net/snapshots/">daily snapshots</a>,
 275         you should already have it. Otherwise you can always
 276         retrieve it directly from the cvs repository via the Web interface
 277         <a href="http://cvs.wxwindows.org/viewcvs.cgi/wxWindows/locale/wxstd.po">here</a>.
 278
 279     <li>Rename it to <tt>XY.po</tt> where <tt>"XY"</tt> is the 2 letter
 280         <a href="http://lcweb.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html">ISO 639-1 language code</a>
 281         for your language.
 282
 283     <li>Translate the strings in this file using either your favourite text
 284         editor or a specialized tool such as Vaclav Slavik&#39;s excellent
 285         <a href="http://poedit.sourceforge.net/" target=_top>poEdit</a>
 286         utility.
 287
 288     <li>Verify that your translations can at least be compiled (even if they
 289         are yet incomplete) by running <tt>msgfmt -v XY.po</tt> command:
 290         please note that you <i>must</i> use the <tt>-v</tt> option. In
 291         particular, please fill the header fields because msgfmt doesn&#39;t
 292         accept the default values for them.
 293
 294     <li>Send the finished translation to
 295         <a href="mailto:vadim@wxwindows.org">Vadim Zeitlin</a> and it will be
 296         added to the next wxWindows release or snapshot.
 297 </ol>

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