1SquirrelMail distributes translations separately from the main package.
2
3If you are using SquirrelMail from CVS, you can download translations with
4the following commands:
5
6cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/squirrelmail login
7cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/squirrelmail co locales
8
9If you are using a regular SquirrelMail release, translations should be
10available from the SquirrelMail download page:
11
12http://squirrelmail.org/download.php
13
14Packaged translations are distributed in archives named
15
16xx_XX-{sm-version}-{release-date}.tar.gz
17xx_XX-{sm-version}-{release-date}.tar.bz2
18xx_XX-{sm-version}-{release-date}.zip
19
20For example:
21es_ES-1.5.0-20031201.tar.gz should contain the Spanish translation of SquirrelMail
221.5.0 strings released on December 01, 2003. Translation is packaged with tar and
23gzip.
24
25The all_locales-{sm-version}-{release-date}.{tar.gz|tar.bz2|zip} packages contain
26all available translations.
27
28The locales-{sm-version}-{release-date}-src.{tar.gz|tar.bz2|zip} packages contain
29all available SquirrelMail translations without compiled gettext strings. The
30compilelocales script that is included in package should create all required .mo
31files if you have the msgfmt program (this is useful if you want to create or
32update translation files yourself).
33
34The translation of SquirrelMail consists of:
351. translated gettext strings (squirrelmail.po)
362. compiled gettext strings (squirrelmail.mo)
373.(optional) translated help files (*.hlp)
384.(optional) translated images (sec_remove_*.png)
39
40Gettext translations should be placed in
41locale/<language_country>/LC_MESSAGES/ directory.
42Help files are placed in help/<language_country>/ directory.
43
44For example:
45Spanish translated strings should go to locale/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES/squirrelmail.po
46and compiled strings go to locale/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES/squirrelmail.mo
47Spanish help files are stored in help/es_ES/ directory.

50Internationalization (i18n) Mailinglist: squirrelmail-i18n@lists.sourceforge.net
