= KiCad GUI translations

This is the repository for the po files that is used for the GUI

translations for KiCad.

It is cmake equipped to conform with the rest of the installation

principles for KiCad.

== How to submit translations

No general details about translating po-files will be described here,

there are plenty of resources on the rest of the www. But a suggestion

on how to handle updates and translations will be provided.

When you start translating we need to make sure there is an updated

po-file. You can either ask someone to do push an update or do it

yourself with the `update-po-files.sh` script. You can add your

language code as the first argument to the script to only update that

single language.

When you did update the po-file, please make a commit with the

following text if you update the german language relative to the kicad

master branch:

```

Update german to master

ca264f898290158f60d4c9dcd55d0428b7fa7965

```

Here we included the language, branch and sha of the kicad source at

the time of updating.  Now make your translations and commit that and

push the pull request.

This is not mandatory, but it makes it easer for other people to

review your changes when we seperate the automatic update from the

human edits.

== Depends

- Cmake

- Gettext

== How to install

```sh

$ cd kicad-i18n

$ BUILD_SRC=$(pwd)

$ mkdir -p ~/tmp/kicad-i18n-build

$ cd ~/tmp/kicad-i18n-build

$ cmake ${BUILD_SRC}

$ make install

$ cd ..

$ rm -rf ~/tmp/kicad-i18n-build

```

If you want to change the default install prefix to match your KiCad

build, you can add `cmake` option for example use:

```

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

```

If you occurred some problems, use `cmake --trace -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON` instead `cmake` to

make build log more verbose, when you fill issue report.

== Why are we not using transifex or similar service

We would like to make it easier for people to help translate, but I

don't really know how to make transifex work in synergy with a

workflow where people can also update by working with the po files

here directly.
