If your using a simple text editor you should translate the strings that appear in the msgid line
and write the translation into the msgstr line. You can also add "#, fuzzy" in order to mark a
translation as fuzzy. It is recommended that you would take a look at another .po file - that

the existing .po with yours. Afterwards, you should compile and install LyX (check the INSTALL
file for your OS). If you don't install LyX it won't work.

For running LyX with your translation, use the appropriate LANG variable:
In Linux: LANG=xx_CC lyx
In Windows you need to change the lyx.bat file and write: set LANG=xx_CC
xx stands for your language code. CC stands for your country code. So to get for example Czech
the code is "cs_CZ".
