How to run a translation
1. Select your language from the Launchpad list of available translations, then click Download translation (you need to register to Launchpad, if you haven't yet).
2. Choose both formats, MO and PO: you will receive the download links in your mailbox in a few minutes.
3. Rename the files as "habari.mo" and "habari-xx.po", where "xx" is the ISO code for your language.
4. In your user/locale folder, create the directory "xx/LC_MESSAGES", then put your files there.
5. Select the xx locale in Admin/Options, then click Apply.
Guidelines for translations
Guideline for German translations
German is a powerful language providing multiple possible translations for every English word. The following list specifies some common translations in order to keep the user interface consistent.
- Tag: „Schlagwort“, „Schlagwörter“
- Post: „Beitrag“, „Beiträge“
- Log: „Protokoll“ (no plural)
Note that the formal pronouns like „sie“ are seldom used in the web. Please use the informal „du“ and related pronouns.
