<title>Translations in MonoDevelop</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>MonoDevelop has chosen to use gettext instead of resources
for translating into other languages. This allows us to take
advantage of GNOME translators familiarity with gettext and
other advantages.</p>
<h3>Developers</h3>
<p>Instead of using a string directly in your code, you just need
to pass it to gettext which returns the translated string to you.
<ol>
<li>Remember to encase all user visible strings, like so:<br />
<code>GettextCatalog.GetString ("user visible string")</code><br />
<code>String.Format (GettextCatalog.GetString ("user visible string {0}"), variable)</code>
</li>
<li>Add files with these strings to MonoDevelop/po/POTFILES.in</li>
</ol>
FIXME add info about checking for missing files in POTFILES.in
glade, xml files
</p>
<h3>Translators</h3>
<p>See <a href="http://www.gnome.org/i18n/">Gnome I18N</a> for
information about the GNOME translation project. Much of that
material will also apply here. In particular: <br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://lcweb.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html">Language codes</a></li>
<li><a href="http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/resources.html">Resources</a></li>
</ul>
<ol>
//FIXME how do you do this:
<li>Create xx_XX.po (based on you Language code)</li>
<li>Translate the strings</li>
<li>add your language code to ALL_LINGUAS in configure.in</li>
<li>test by running <code>LANG=xx_XX monodevelop</code></li>
</ol>
