I want to help translating

Hello,

I'd like to help with the translation of Gimp and especially the translation of the Windows version's menu entries and file context menu entries.

Where can I find the po-files or other sources and to whom shall I send the translated files?

The info is probably somewhere on the Gimp websites (regular or developer.) but I wasn't able to find it.. please point it out to me.

I'd like to help with the translation of Gimp and especially the translation of the Windows version's menu entries and file context menu entries.

I don't think there are many translated strings that would be Windows-specific in GIMP? Any file chooser ones might be in GTK+ and not GIMP.

Where can I find the po-files or other sources and to whom shall I send the translated files?

I don't think these things are in any po-files, but in separate files

Ah, OK, now I understand which strings you mean. Yes, it would indeed be nice if these strings would also be translated, and if that would happen as part of the normal localisation process, i.e. if the strings were present in the normal .po files for translators to find.

As far as I see (Jernej will be able to fill in the details) these strings are specified in the input files to the installer builder Jernej uses (InnoSetup). These installer-builder source files can be found at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121075&package_id=132256 . (The latest one there seems to be from 2006 for GIMP 2.2, though. But I assume they have changed since only in details.) In there you find a file en.setup.isl that contains the English strings.

I don't know how InnoSetup manages localisation of the installer and of strings that the installer adds to the Registry. But if we want these strings to be translated by the translators using their normal workflow, like the strings in the program itself, we need to 1) make sure they appear in the .po files, and then 2) some tool should be written that would take the message catalogs and spews out InnoSetup format .isl files for the various languages.

As for the 1) part, it is relatively easy, just create some dummy .c file which contains all these strings, and let it be scanned by the mechanism which creates the .po files.

The 2) part requires some more work, but is hardly rocket science either.

Newer install scripts are included directly with Gimp releases, and there have been some significant changes between 2.2 and 2.4. The latest script is

Please get in contact with the translation team of your language, see http://l10n.gnome.org/languages

Please do _not_ download the po files there. You would get the version that is in SVN and these files are not updated automatically (for good reasons). You can download the po files with uptodate messages from http://l10n.gnome.org/module/gimp

There's a bug report about this in our bug tracker:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=495304

It would be nice if there was some progress on this bug, and on the other bugs on the installer component:
