[gaim-migrate @ 11206] Herman and I sat down and had a little chit chat. Well, I was sitting, he could have been standing, or lying, or hanging upside-down. Who knows. Anyway, the moral of the story is that plugins and smiley themes and really anything that isn't officially distributed by Gaim should not be in C:\Program Files\Gaim Putting stuff in the user's ~/.gaim directory is the way to go. For side-wide stuff, Herman suggested maybe using the .gaim directory for All Users, but that isn't implemented yet. So if someone wants that they'll have to write a patch. So 3rd party plugins should install to ~/.gaim and NOT program files. Also, I cvs admined this file, which seemed to do weird things. I'm not sure if you have to do anything to make sure you're actually using what's in CVS. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

Translation README

Updated: 04-October-2003
------------------

Translated .po files may be submitted in whatever native encoding is
most convenient (and hopefully canonical).  Please ensure that the
Content-type: line reflects the proper character set.



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
------------------

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 <[e-mail]>
# Copyright (C) 2003, Your Name <[e-mail]>
#
# This file is distributed under the same license as the Gaim package.
