Since the second beta version of gq 0.7.0 there is a separate distribution of I18N message catalogs. These "langpacks" have been introduced for the following reasons: * langpacks can be build outside the gq release cycle (which sometimes tends to be rather long) * People not interested in I18N messages can forget about them * Simpler integration for new translations. No need to patch configure.in * Translators may build their own language packs (make langpack-dist) How to use a langpack --------------------- 1.) Download gq 2.) Unpack the gq distribution tar -xzf gq-0.7.0.tar.gz 3.) Download a language pack matching the version of gq 4.) Put the downloaded language pack into the top directory of gq mv gq-0.7.0-langpack-1.tar.gz gq-0.7.0 5.) Unpack the language pack - This will produce a directory named something like gq-0.7.0-langpack-1 tar -xzf gq-0.7.0-langpack-1.tar.gz 6.) run the langpack script: gq-0.7.0-langpack-1/langpack . 7.) configure + make gq as usual Currently the following languages are part of the language pack: Language Code Last version Translator -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Czech cs 0.6.0 Tomas Dobrovolny <tomasdobrovolny@atlas.cz> German de 0.7.0beta2 Peter Stamfest <peter@stamfest.at> Japanese ja pre 0.7.0beta1 Hatuka*nezumi <nezumi@jca.apc.org>
