Localization

Using translation in CpVES

If you want to use the translation, you have to compile the existing po-files to machine readable files.
You can do that by running:

msgfmt -o cpves.mo cpves.po

Translating CpVES

First steps

You must have gettext installed. Within Debian do apt-get install gettext.

Than you need your lanuage code. ex. german: de_DE

copy template

If you have got the correct lanuage code, you have to create the directory:

trunk/includes/localization/lanuage_code/LC_MESSAGES/

Than use msginit to create an new localization.

msginit --locale=language_code --input=cpves.pot --output-file=lanuage_code/LC_MESSAGES/cpves.po

Now you can translate the strings in the file lanuage_code/LC_MESSAGES/cpves.po to your language.

contribute new localizations to CpVES

If you have translated CpVES in an other lanuage, please contact Jonas Genannt for including the translation into the next release of CpVES.
