Internationalisation

If you want to contribute a translation the following hints may be of help to you:

Step 1:

If you want to update an existing translation, skip to step 2.

If you want to do a new translation, start with creating an empty translation file:

           touch share/locale/muse_fr.ts

Step 2:

If you want to update an existing translation and you downloaded a stable release (not a snapshot) of MusE, skip to step 3.

Populate your .ts file with the newest strings

           mkdir build
           cd build
           cmake -DUPDATE_TRANSLATIONS=ON ..
           make translations
           cmake -DUPDATE_TRANSLATIONS=OFF ..
           cd ..

Your file share/locale/muse_fr.ts is now ready for translation. It is recommended that you copy this file to some other place and and work on the copy.

Step 3:

     Edit "muse_fr.ts" manually or use the Qt "linguist" tool:

           linguist muse_fr.ts

Step 4:

Save the edited file "muse_fr.ts" from linguist and start File->Release. This generates the file "muse_fr.qm". Copy this file into your muse installation folder, <prefix>/share/muse-2.0/locale/ or copy your edited "muse_fr.ts" into share/locale in the source tree and rebuild/install muse

           cd build
           cmake -DUPDATE_TRANSLATIONS=OFF ..
           make
           sudo make install

Step 5:

Test: If your system locale is set to the same language as your translation, simply start MusE:

                 muse2

Otherwise, start MusE with the desired locale using the -l flag

                 muse2 -l fr

Send the file to us and we'll include it into the next release of MusE. Read on here: Muse_ml
