In order to create or update a translatable file, run the following command
in the directory i18n/:
-lupdate ../src -ts quassel_xx.ts
+./update.sh xx
where xx is the two-letter language code according to ISO 639 (which,
if needed, may be suffixed by a country code according to ISO 3166).
Quassel will automatically load these translation files based on the
-system locale. Examples for valid file names:
+system locale. Examples for valid codes: de, en_US
-quassel_de.ts
-quassel_en_US.ts
+You can open translation files with poedit for example and add/edit translated strings.
-You can open these XML files with the Qt Linguist and add/edit translated strings.
+The *.po files can and should be kept in sync with the source code by running
+update.sh regularly (existing translations won't be removed).
-The *.ts files can and should be kept in sync with the source code by running
-lupdate regularly (existing translations won't be removed).
+NOTE: Remember to remove X-Virgin-Header line if you want to preserve your header.
-Qt itself does not use the *.ts files, but a compact binary format (*.qm).
+Qt itself does not use the *.po files, but a compact binary format (*.qm).
These files will automatically be generated at build time. By default, all
languages will be built. To select languages, add -DLINGUAS="<languages>"
to your cmake call, where <languages> is a space-separated list of language
codes as explained above.
-NOTE: You'll need lrelease installed with your Qt in order to generate
+NOTE: You'll need lconvert installed with your Qt in order to generate
translation files. Some distributions don't package that tool;
in that case you won't get translations.
