The <lazarusdir>/languages directory contains all the stuff for
|
|
internationalization of the lazarus IDE.
|
|
|
|
There are a few other directories for the codetools and the lcl. They work
|
|
all the same. All language files can easily be updated with the
|
|
<lazarusdir>/localize.sh script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All text and messages used in the IDE (except the special designer units)
|
|
should be placed into the unit lazarusidestrconsts.pas. This unit uses a
|
|
resourcestring section, so that the compiler will create the
|
|
<lazarusdir>/lazarusidestrconsts.rst file.
|
|
Since this is a fpc-only format it must be converted with the rstconv program:
|
|
|
|
cd <lazarusdir>/languages
|
|
rstconv -i ../lazarusidestrconsts.rst -o lazaruside.po
|
|
|
|
Hint: this is done by <lazarusdir>/localize.sh
|
|
|
|
This will create the file lazaruside.po, which should be translated in all
|
|
required languages to a lazaruside.xx.po file. For the xx see the gettext unit
|
|
in the procedure TranslateResourceStrings.
|
|
|
|
german: lazaruside.de.po
|
|
russian (KOI8-R): lazaruside.ru.po
|
|
spanish: lazaruside.es.po
|
|
french: lazaruside.fr.po
|
|
italian: lazaruside.it.po
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the translation, the lazaruside.xx.po file is converted to an .mo file
|
|
with the msgfmt program:
|
|
|
|
msgfmt -v -o lazaruside.xx.mo lazaruside.xx.po
|
|
|
|
where xx is the language id.
|
|
Hint: this is done by <lazarusdir>/localize.sh too
|
|
|
|
|
|
(The same for objinspstrconsts.xx.po, codetoolsstrconsts.xx.po, lcl.xx.po)
|
|
Hint: this is also done by <lazarusdir>/localize.sh
