README

Le système de langue fonctionne ainsi : 

dans bureau/locales/ on trouve un DOSSIER par langue sous la forme
major_minor/
exemple : fr_FR en_US ...
dans lequel on a un sous-dossier LC_MESSAGES
dans lequel on a des fichiers .po en vrac (normalement 1 ou 2 fichiers .po par module d'AlternC.)

Le fichier alternc.mo est donc construit à partir de TOUS les fichiers .po d'une même langue.

Howto translate AlternC in a new language
=========================================

This folder contains po and pot files, who are templates that allows you
to translate AlternC in any language.

1. How to add a language : 
- create a folder with your iso language code (ex: de_DE for
  German from Germany see `dpkg-reconfigure locales` for available codes.)
- create a subfolder LC_MESSAGES in this folder
- copy .po and .pot files and rename .pot to .po
- Translate them ;) 
- Send them to us so that we can add them to the next release or as a language pack.

2. How to update language files.

When the programm is updated, the po and pot files in locales/ are
changed to reflect the new developped features.

You can launch 

./updatelang.sh <languagecode> 

from "locales/" to update your language po files. New strings will have
an empty "msgstr" value, and obsoletes one will be commented out with
#~ 

Example : 

./updatelang.sh fr_FR
