locale/README.locales

   1 SquirrelMail distributes translations separately from the main package.
   2
   3 If you are using SquirrelMail from CVS, you can download translations with
   4 the following commands:
   5
   6 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/squirrelmail login
   7 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/squirrelmail co locales
   8
   9 If you are using a regular SquirrelMail release, translations should be
  10 available from the SquirrelMail download page:
  11
  12 http://squirrelmail.org/download.php
  13
  14 Packaged translations are distributed in archives named
  15
  16 xx_XX-{sm-version}-{release-date}.tar.gz
  17 xx_XX-{sm-version}-{release-date}.tar.bz2
  18 xx_XX-{sm-version}-{release-date}.zip
  19
  20 For example:
  21 es_ES-1.5.0-20031201.tar.gz should contain the Spanish translation of SquirrelMail
  22 1.5.0 strings released on December 01, 2003. Translation is packaged with tar and
  23 gzip.
  24
  25 The all_locales-{sm-version}-{release-date}.{tar.gz|tar.bz2|zip} packages contain
  26 all available translations.
  27
  28 The locales-{sm-version}-{release-date}-src.{tar.gz|tar.bz2|zip} packages contain
  29 all available SquirrelMail translations without compiled gettext strings. The
  30 compilelocales script that is included in package should create all required .mo
  31 files if you have the msgfmt program (this is useful if you want to create or
  32 update translation files yourself).
  33
  34 The translation of SquirrelMail consists of:
  35 1. translated gettext strings (squirrelmail.po)
  36 2. compiled gettext strings (squirrelmail.mo)
  37 3.(optional) translated help files (*.hlp)
  38 4.(optional) translated images (sec_remove_*.png)
  39
  40 Gettext translations should be placed in
  41 locale/<language_country>/LC_MESSAGES/ directory.
  42 Help files are placed in help/<language_country>/ directory.
  43
  44 For example:
  45 Spanish translated strings should go to locale/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES/squirrelmail.po
  46 and compiled strings go to locale/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES/squirrelmail.mo
  47 Spanish help files are stored in help/es_ES/ directory.
  48
  49 Any questions about SquirrelMail translations can be directed to the SquirrelMail
  50 Internationalization (i18n) Mailinglist: squirrelmail-i18n@lists.sourceforge.net
