I'd like to translate OpenMolar into Spanish

Ariel,

A spanish version would be tremendous, I would really your help there!

Much of the gui should be realitively easy to translate I hope, as I
utilised qt-designer to lay it out.
and I am always happy to modify any code which creates problems for you.

regards

Neil.

Great - I'll start reading about qt and browsing the source (devel branch) as soon as I have the time.

ooops,
I didn't consciously mark this as solved..

anyways, no matter, I have created a .po file and stuck that up into the
translations area. I think this is going to be fun.

regards

Neil.

ok.. I have a game plan now.

look for an active translations section within the next 3 or 4 days time.

ok.. that was easier than I thought.

Translations is up and running (I think)

let me know of any problems.

so the French translation is on the march...

Okay, apparently I can use Launchpad to translate inside my browser instead of downloading via bazaar. Do you need to create the translation? I'm new to LP, as you can tell.

Your first step is to make sure that Launchpad knows you have the Spanish Language, then, when you visit https://translations.launchpad.net/openmolar you should see an embryonic spanish translation.

Re using the browser, once you have done the above, I believe you can still grab a file for offline translating.

marked as solved in error. Re-opening

I started fiddling with it, and it's good so far but I'd rather translate offline so I can see the results in context. Now I'm off to study Qt localisation and .po vs .mo, whatever that means :)

See this video.

to "install your translation" you'll need to do something like this
 msgfmt foo.po -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/openmolar.mo

I am happy if you simply want to email me your spanish po files, I'm pushing
a new bzr version approx twice daily.

I've made it so the app can switch between different language versions.

thanks!

Neil.
