SquirrelMail distributes translations separately from the main package. If you are using SquirrelMail from CVS, you can download translations with the following commands: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/squirrelmail login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/squirrelmail co locales If you are using a regular SquirrelMail release, translations should be available from the SquirrelMail download page: http://squirrelmail.org/download.php Packaged translations are distributed in archives named xx_XX-{sm-version}-{release-date}.tar.gz xx_XX-{sm-version}-{release-date}.tar.bz2 xx_XX-{sm-version}-{release-date}.zip For example: es_ES-1.5.0-20031201.tar.gz should contain the Spanish translation of SquirrelMail 1.5.0 strings released on December 01, 2003. Translation is packaged with tar and gzip. The all_locales-{sm-version}-{release-date}.{tar.gz|tar.bz2|zip} packages contain all available translations. The locales-{sm-version}-{release-date}-src.{tar.gz|tar.bz2|zip} packages contain all available SquirrelMail translations without compiled gettext strings. The compilelocales script that is included in package should create all required .mo files if you have the msgfmt program (this is useful if you want to create or update translation files yourself). The translation of SquirrelMail consists of: 1. translated gettext strings (squirrelmail.po) 2. compiled gettext strings (squirrelmail.mo) 3.(optional) translated help files (*.hlp) 4.(optional) translated images (sec_remove_*.png) Gettext translations should be placed in locale//LC_MESSAGES/ directory. Help files are placed in help// directory. For example: Spanish translated strings should go to locale/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES/squirrelmail.po and compiled strings go to locale/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES/squirrelmail.mo Spanish help files are stored in help/es_ES/ directory. Any questions about SquirrelMail translations can be directed to the SquirrelMail Internationalization (i18n) Mailinglist: squirrelmail-i18n@lists.sourceforge.net $Id$
