Gregarius - Devlog

Starting from development version 0.5.5.1479, we have dropped the awkward label-file based localization system, and adopted a much more versatile localization process, based on GNU gettext.

To get Gregarius to speak to you in your mother tongue, all you have to do is configure your browser and instruct it to download pages in your preferred language. At the time of writing, 16 languages are supported, and more are being added every week.

What if yours isn’t supported yet? Well, the best solution is to write a translation yourself:

1. Register for a Launchpad.net account.
2. Select the language(s) you would like to translate Gregarius into
3. The selected language(s) should now be available in the Gregarius translations page
4. Translate Gregarius into your language, either online on the Launchpad.net website, or offline, using a tool like poedit (Win32, Mac OS X) or KBabel (Linux)
5. Get in touch with me and ask me to import your languages into the development version of Gregarius

Note: a more in-depth (and slightly more technical) description of this process is available on the Wiki.
