To translate Gambas into your own language, open the Gambas project in the IDE, and click on Translate... in the Project menu. (If Gambas complains about msgmerge, make sure you have GNU gettext on your computer)
Then, select your translation language in the combo-box.
Note: If the language does not exist in the list, write me and I will add it.
Select a untranslated string in the table.
Then enter its translation into the text field on the bottom of the dialog.
Repeat this process until every string is translated. When you have finished, click on the Close button.
Note: You can translate the project in several shots.
You can play with toolbar icons.
From left to right, these icons allow you to :
Note: You can indicate that a string must not be translated by entering a single minus character as translated string.
The result of your translation is stored in a *.po
file stored in the .lang
directory of the project. The name of this file depends on the language. For example, the french translation is named fr.po
.
Send me this file, by exporting it, and I will add it to the Gambas project. Then your name will enter the Gambas Hall Of Fame !
Note: At each new Gambas version, untranslated strings may change. But don't worry, your translated strings are preserved.
