As a number of people have asked, here are the steps to translate Toucan.
- Download a copy of poEdit. This is the program you will use to translate Toucan.
- Checkout a copy of the Toucan source code. You will need an SVN client for this purpose, documentation about checking out source code can be found here, and here.
- Once poEdit is installed and the source is downloaded, you need to set up the poEdit file that can be found in the trunk directory, it is recommended that you move it to a new folder before you start. Firstly open the poEdit file. Next click Catalog->Settings->Paths then change the two directories to match the location of your downloaded source, finally close that window and click Catalog->Update from sources, this will ensure that you have the latests strings.
- You can now translate the strings into a language of your choice.
- To load the translation that you have created into Toucan simply save poEdit and a file called Toucan-blank.mo will be created in the same direcotry as your .po file. Rename this to toucan.mo and copy it to Toucan\App\toucan\land\fr and your language will now appear when French is selected as the language in the Settings tab.
Enjoy!
P.S. I will shortly be asking for new translations for the 1.2.1 release, more information coming soon.
