How to translate romcenter to your language ?
First, go to the forum and check if your transation is not yet available.
All required files are included in romcenter distribution in “romcenter/languages/template” folder.
Romcenter uses <country>.mo files located in “romcenter/languages/”
Select language
There is no setting to select the language yet. To change the current language in romcenter, go to “romcenter/languages/”, and rename the language you want to <your_country>.mo.
Ex: To use German language in france, save fr.mo to fr-bak.mo, and rename de.mo to fr.mo.
To use english language (default), rename \languages\ to \languages_bak\.
Prepare environment
- Install poedit (freeware)
Locate <country>.po file and open it
If you want to update an existing <country_code>.po file:
- Locate it and open it
- Go to “Catalog/update from pot”
- Select templatexxx.pot and click 'ok'. This will sync the strings with the latest romcenter release.
If you want to create a new translation:
- Copy templatexxx.pot to <contry_code>.po (find the country code in the code.txt file)
- Open <contry_code>.po
Translate
- Fill the missing translations and check the other ones
- Save the file. This will produce a compiled file (.mo)
Test
- Copy this .mo in romcenter\languages\<contry_code>.mo (find the country code in the code.txt file)
- Run romcenter. Strings must now be translated.
- Verify all forms, menus and messages to see if it's correct.
- Post the new file in the forum for distribution
