<h1>
Translation
HowTo
</h1>
<p>
We
are
currently
very
informal
and
very
hands-off
when
it
comes
to
translating
Gaim.
What
follows
is
a
collection
of
notes
for
those
who
wish
to
assist.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
We
try
to
accept
tanslations
for
a
given
language
only
from
a
single
person,
the
person
we
are
most
familiar
with
getting
translations
from.
If
you
feel
a
translation
is
wrong,
produces
strings
that
are
too
long,
or
is
badly
out
of
date,
contact
the
existing
translator
first.
Work
with
him
or
her
if
possible.
If
this
is
not
possible,
mention
this
to
us
as
you
submit
your
patch
or
new
translation.
</li>
<li>
Translations
to
new
languages
are
always
welcome.
<ol>
<li>
Get
the
po
template
(.pot)
file
from
<a
href=
"http://gaim.sourceforge.net/i18n/gaim.pot"
title=
".pot file for Gaim"
>
here
</a>
.
</li>
<li>
Find
the
two
letter
language
code
for
your
language.
If
translating
to
a
regional
dialect,
append
the
two
letter
region
or
country
code.
Rename
the
file
to
match
this.
For
example,
Protuguese
is
pt.po,
and
Brazilian
Portuguese
is
pt_BR.po.
