Using translate.sh

Do NOT use this tool to add new languages use Transifex instead.

The main reason is that Transifex does not sync with GitHub.

Requirements

Translation flow

Let's translate to Spanish for example. You need to run:

./translate.sh new es or ./translation.sh new es_MX

This will create the translation file for Spanish in:

translations/es/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po

After this, you can open this file with any text editor and fill all missing translations.

Then you can compile your translation with:

./translate.sh compile

This will create the compiled translation file in:

translations/es/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo

That's it.
