Translations for TDE are still a bit of a complex area; I have been wanting to overhaul the translation process for quite some time but am still waiting for the requisite features to be added to the upstream Launchpad project. I have tenative word that those features will be coming in the first half of this year (2015) so hopefully we'll be able to upgrade and hammer out a proper translation procedure later this year. In the meantime, the best you can do is to check out the tde-i18n module from GIT (it's large, so you will need a fast connection for the initial download) and edit the appropriate .po files with kbabel or a similar tool. Adding a new language currently requires someone with GIT commit access (such as myself, Slavek Banko, or Michele Calgaro) to create the appropriate template directory within that module, then run an i18n update to generate a set of template po files. Where things get complex (and why we need an overhaul) is that every time the i18n update is run any changes not already merged into the tde-i18n module become difficult or impossible to merge after the update. As a result, the current mantra for the tde-i18n module is to pull before you start translating and to commit early, commit often. ;-) > So if anyone has advice or knows what I need to do feel free to let me > know > what I personally need to do to be able to start translating TDE into > en_AU > (and maybe encourage my friends across the Tasman to do likewise for en_NZ > and maybe even Maori). Sounds great; always happy to have new translators on board! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iFYEARELAAYFAlS1wmgACgkQLaxZSoRZrGGqMgDgg6TywxolbxUuBujOLB3gWtwV pQTxpz1gMn1REgDgjmzukMMIKznYl8Pe4wwapU8ROTzPIUJUiILMbA== =NnyN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
