Translating Sailcut

From Sailcut

Sailcut CAD's translations are managed in the form of text files which can be edited very easily using a tool called Qt Linguist.

For translators

First of all you need to get hold of Qt Linguist. If you are running Linux, there is a very good chance that Qt Linguist also comes in a packaged form for your distribution.

If you are starting a new translation, get hold of the translation template, otherwise get hold of the latest copy of the translation file for your language:

• Dutch translation
• French translation
• German translation
• Italian translation
• Norwegian translation
• Portuguese translation

Once you have updated the translations using Qt Linguist, mail the modified .ts file to the development mailing list. If you have a little time to spare your help would be greatly appreciated!

For developers

You can refresh extract the latest translation texts from the source code by running:

 ./refresh
