translate motv app ================== The new motif-gui version has i18n support, it is handled by using different application default files for the different languages. All the strings are in the MoTV-<lang> files. MoTV-default is the english version. MoTV-fixed has the other (language-independant) app-default settings. The Makefile merges these into MoTV.<lang>.ad files. To add another language you just need to create a new MoTV-<lang> file, edit x11/Subdir.mk and add the language to the LANGUAGES= line. You can test the translations without "make install" this way (bash): once at start: $ cd x11 $ export XUSERFILESEARCHPATH="./%N.%l.ad:./%N.ad" $ export LC_ALL=<lang> every time after editing MoTV-<lang>: $ make $ ./motv translate documentation ======================= The applications come with a manual page as documentation. Most manual pages are in the man/ subdirectory. Translated manual pages are very welcome, I can easily add them to the distribution tarball. It is a good idea to add your email address to the translated page, so people can reach you directly with spell fixes and stuff like that. I can't proof-read pages in foreign languages ... other stuff =========== Currently I have no plans to localize xawtv and the command line tools.
