10 The intention here is to provide information about the status of the
11 different translation files.
13 1998-02-03: no.po for Norwegian by Lars G. Bjønnes (larsbj@ifi.uio.no)
14 Pretty much done except for some keyboard-shortcuts, and a few
15 things that I don't know how to translate yet.
18 1998-01-23: es.po, Spanish by Daniel Manrique and Alejandro Aguilar
19 Sierra. Advanced but not yet complete. Send comments about this
20 translation to (lyxesp@modelos1.atmosfcu.unam.mx) and get the
21 latest version from http://www.linux.org.mx/lyx/es.html.
23 1999-04-30: da.po for Danish by Asger Alstrup (alstrup@diku.dk):
24 Pretty much done for 1.0.2, except for some keyboard shortcuts.
26 1998-07-27: Updated sv.po, Swedish by Joacim Persson (sp2joap1@ida.his.se)
27 Complete, in the sense that it works. (except some shortcuts in a
28 few hard-to-crack dialogs)
30 1998-02-01: de.po, German by Peter Metternich and Peter Sütterlin
31 Complete as of pre8, allthough some translations could be nicer.
32 Shortcuts do work, allthough some are missing (not enough
33 unique letters...). Additional shortcut definition file
34 menus_de.bind available.
36 1998-02-11: hu.po, Hungarian by Peter Kremer & Andras Kadar
37 Menus and some simple dialog box are done. Additional shortcut
38 definition file menus_hu.bind available.
40 1998-11-27: fr.po, by Emmanuel Gureghian <gureghia@spi.lip6.fr>, with
41 *slight* changes by Jean-Marc Lasgouttes. All strings are basically
42 translated, but the keyboard shortcuts have not been updated and
43 the translation could really be improved. Feel free to contact
44 Emmanuel if you want to help.
46 1998-12-02: ru.po, by Victor Lavrenko <lyx@lavrenko.pp.ru>. Last updated
49 The status of the other files is unknown at this point in time, but
50 most should be pretty good.
52 How can I update an existing po file?
53 -------------------------------------
55 It requires a bit of work to get started, but once you are set up,
56 the procedure should be relatively easy:
60 Get and install gettext (available from ftp://alpha.gnu.org). Read the
61 documentation for gettext. Then get the latest LyX distribution including
62 patches, and unpack it in your home directory. Read README in the LyX
63 distribution. Read the files in development/Code_rules/.
64 Check the mailing list archives to learn what is going on at the moment.
65 Consider subscribing to the developer's mailing list.
69 Now do (if you want to update the no.po file):
71 cp -R lyx-*.*.* lyx.new
72 (which makes a copy of the source distribution for
76 msgmerge no.po lyx.pot > no.pox
77 (use no.pox as a temporary)
80 (finish editing no.pox, save)
86 (update the status list in this README file)
90 (update CHANGES and maybe also lib/CREDITS)
92 lyx.new/development/tools/makepatch lyx-*.*.* lyx.new
93 (which will create a patch file)
95 3) Submitting the patch
97 zcat *.patch.gz | less
98 (to check that the patch is ok)
100 Mail the patch along with an announcement mail to
101 lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org)
