How to

Following are instructions on how to translate the user interface.

1. Download .po file for your language. If you are going to create a new translation then use a template.

2. Open it using any Unicode editor, for instance, Notepad++. Also you can try the special editor for .po files - poedit. It provides a more convenient approach than manually editing the files.

3. This file contains pairs msgid and msgstr. The first string is an original English string, the second one is a translated string:

msgid "Original string, do not change it"
msgstr "...translated one..."

Update this file and submit it to the gitlab issues:

4. If you are familiar with the .po & .mo files then you can even check your translation before sending:

• Create locale\YOUR_LANGUAGE_CODE\LC_MESSAGES folder in the RapidEE folder
• Rename your .mo file to the default.mo and put it to this folder
• Run RapidEE and check your translation

For instance, if you are going to check the German translation then you have to create locale\de\LC_MESSAGES\default.mo file and run RapidEE to check it.

5. Your localization will be included into the next release.
