I use as an example the German translation file. Dont forget to use it also for the plugins.
Note that the text shown in the menu screens are not generally located as described below, but are instead defined in XML files, e.g. mythtv/programs/mythfrontend/mainmenu.xml.
Contents |
Checkout the svn version
svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythtv
Update translation files
Go to the mythtv directory and run
lupdate. This will ensure that all translatable strings in the source code are included in the .ts file we will work on later.
Translate
Translate .ts file in the directory: i18n eg: i18n/mythfrontend_de.ts
You can use any editor for this, but it is most convenient to use the tool Linguist included in Qt (on Debian, this is found in the qt3-linguist package).
linguist i18n/mythfrontend_de.ts
Compile translation
lrelease
After this you can test your translations in the Frontend. If all is OK you can proceed.
Create Diff
svn diff i18n/mythfrontend_de.ts >translation.diff
