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.

Now, run LyX using the appropriate LANG variable:
|

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".
