" fi.po with the following "safe" changes:
- went over the 0.59.8 po file and found the strings
with idential meanings with changes only in formatting
- some translations obtained by old translation strings
but which requires only some trivial editing
- added some translations from existing po files from
other projects
- converted from iso-8859-15 to utf-8
and "unsafe" changes:
- some translations obtained by old translation strings
but which requires some relatively non-trivial editing
- attempted to correct some obvious mistranslations
It is best to have a native speaker go over this"
but i figure at this point, the last update being in 0.59.8, his version
can't be any worse really

Translation README Updated: 19-April-2003 ------------------ To supply a new translation, you first need a copy of gaim.pot. This can be built by typing: ./update.pl --pot from the gaim/po/ directory. To update an exsting translation, type: ./update.pl LANG where LANG is the language code to update, such as fr or ja. This will build a new gaim.pot and update the translation with the changes. You may then begin editing the updated file. New or updated translations should be sent to the gaim-devel listserv (see http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gaim-devel) Please check your translations carefully. Make sure you have the same number of newlines and %s or other formatting codes in the translation as you have in the original. Updated: 05-August-2003 ------------------ All translations should be in UTF-8. You can use the following command to convert from one encoding to another, if needed: > iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 xx.po > xx.po.new Before submitting updated or new translations, please run the following command to ensure the file does not contain errors: > msgfmt -c --statistics xx.po The comments at the top of each .po file should appear as follows: # Gaim Xxxxx translation # Copyright (C) 2002, Another Name <email@something.com> # Copyright (C) 2003, Your Name <email@whatever.com> # # This file is distributed under the same license as the Gaim package. # Thank you for flying Valu-Jet.
