| Notes for translators |
| ===================== |
| |
| systemd depends on gettext for multilingual support. |
| In po/ directory you'll find the needed files. |
| |
| POT (Portable Object Template) |
| ------------------------------ |
| A text file with .pot extension, with all the extracted labels from code. |
| |
| To update the template: |
| |
| $ cd systemd/ |
| $ ninja -C build systemd-pot |
| |
| To start a new translation: |
| |
| $ cd po/ |
| $ cp systemd.pot <YOUR-LANG-CODE>.po |
| |
| Replace <YOUR-LANG-CODE> with the two-letters codes of ISO 639 standard. |
| |
| PO (Portable Object) |
| -------------------- |
| A text file with .po extension, with all the available labels and some additional |
| metadata fields. Any editor is ok, but a good standard is 'poedit', a graphical |
| application specifically designed for this kind of task. |
