Well, editing the po file isn't really difficult (i'm using poedit). However, i add to do some stuff before being able to make translations: - get all dependancies required to build Dia - run autogen.sh (which calls 'configure') - generate new .pot : make po/dia.pot - merge old translations with new translations: msgmerge fr.po dia.pot > fr.po.new // OR, use poedit equivalent function
Then starts translation :) I hope this way is right and could help future translators. However i got a question: i'd like to check my translation in Dia before to send it. So i compiled Dia, installed it locally (in my home), but when running it with ./app/run_dia.sh , Dia isn't localised (everything is in english). Same thing when passing before LANG=fr_FR.UTF8. Did i do something wrong ? or how may i check my translations ? > Second: > * there were a major update on dia Manual (C) e few months after I done > the French translation. > ** I encourage you to learn first xml docbook format / DTD.
