Status
------
The intention here is to provide information about the status of the
different translation files.
1998-02-03: no.po for Norwegian by Lars G. Bjønnes (larsbj@ifi.uio.no)
Pretty much done except for some keyboard-shortcuts, and a few
things that I don't know how to translate yet.
Updated for 0.12.0
1998-01-23: es.po, Spanish by Daniel Manrique and Alejandro Aguilar
Sierra. Advanced but not yet complete. Send comments about this
translation to (lyxesp@modelos1.atmosfcu.unam.mx) and get the
latest version from http://www.linux.org.mx/lyx/es.html.
1999-04-30: da.po for Danish by Asger Alstrup (alstrup@diku.dk):
Pretty much done for 1.0.2, except for some keyboard shortcuts.
1998-07-27: Updated sv.po, Swedish by Joacim Persson (sp2joap1@ida.his.se)
Complete, in the sense that it works. (except some shortcuts in a
few hard-to-crack dialogs)
1998-02-01: de.po, German by Peter Metternich and Peter Sütterlin
Complete as of pre8, allthough some translations could be nicer.
Shortcuts do work, allthough some are missing (not enough
unique letters...). Additional shortcut definition file
menus_de.bind available.
1998-02-11: hu.po, Hungarian by Peter Kremer & Andras Kadar
Menus and some simple dialog box are done. Additional shortcut
definition file menus_hu.bind available.
1998-11-27: fr.po, by Emmanuel Gureghian <gureghia@spi.lip6.fr>, with
*slight* changes by Jean-Marc Lasgouttes. All strings are basically
translated, but the keyboard shortcuts have not been updated and
the translation could really be improved. Feel free to contact
Emmanuel if you want to help.
1998-12-02: ru.po, by Victor Lavrenko <lyx@lavrenko.pp.ru>. Last updated
on 1999-01-29.
The status of the other files is unknown at this point in time, but
most should be pretty good.

How can I update an existing po file?
-------------------------------------
@ -59,47 +12,45 @@ the procedure should be relatively easy:
Get and install gettext (available from ftp://alpha.gnu.org). Read the
documentation for gettext. Then get the latest LyX distribution including
patches, and unpack it in your home directory. Read README in the LyX
distribution. Read the files in development/Code_rules/.
patches, and unpack it in your home directory. It is yet better if you checkout
the CVS version of LyX.
Read the README in the LyX distribution.
Check the mailing list archives to learn what is going on at the moment.

Consider subscribing to the developer's mailing list, lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org.
2) Preparing a patch
Now do (if you want to update the no.po file):
Now do (where XX stands for the code of your language):
cp -R lyx-*.*.* lyx.new
(which makes a copy of the source distribution for
you to change)
cd lyx.new/po/
(Which makes a copy of the source distribution for
you to change, but you should work in a CVS workarea)
cd lyx.new/po/
msgmerge no.po lyx.pot > no.pox
(use no.pox as a temporary)
emacs no.pox
(using po-mode.)
(finish editing no.pox, save)
msgfmt no.pox
mv messages no.gmo
mv no.pox no.po
rm no.pox~
make XX.pox
(It merges the po file into the temporary file XX.pox)
emacs XX.pox
(Using po-mode. Emacs is convenient for po editing, but not
mandatory.)
(Make all necessary changes in XX.pox, and save.)
mv XX.pox XX.po
rm XX.pox~
(To remove Emacs autosave.)
make XX.gmo
(Update the ChangeLog file.)
(update the status list in this README file)
cd ..
cd ..
(Maybe update lib/CREDITS)
(update CHANGES and maybe also lib/CREDITS)
lyx.new/development/tools/makepatch lyx-*.*.* lyx.new
(which will create a patch file)
cvs diff -u > XX_po_update.patch
(Or whatever good method to have a patch in unified diff format)
3) Submitting the patch
zcat *.patch.gz | less
(to check that the patch is ok)
Mail the patch along with an announcement mail to
lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org)
Check your patch and mail it to lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org
Thanks!
