Translations

Note: Replace xx and xx_XX with your locale country code (e.g. de and de_DE).

The localisation resources for the HoldingNuts client are simple XML-files. They can either be edited by hand/text-editor (not recommended) or with the Qt development tool Linguist.

• Download Linguist for your appropriate OS
• Linguist manual

On a debian-based system you can run

sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools

Best is to contact a HoldingNuts developer and ask him to send the latest translation template.

Another way is to generate a template yourself. Checkout and setup the sources for updating translations (described in setup). Means, configuring your environment with

cmake -DUPDATE_TRANSLATIONS=On ../trunk

Create a file trunk/src/client/translations/hn_xx.ts

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE TS>
<TS version="2.0" language="xx_XX">
<defaultcodec></defaultcodec>
</TS>

Run make to generate the translation file

make translations

Same as in above section but without the “create file” step.

Alternatively run lupdate manually.

1. Generate the binary translation file (*.qm)
   • either by using Linguist File → Release as.... Save to file to data/i18n/hn_xx.qm
   • or by running make translations when you've checked out the sources. Copy the file from build/src/client/hn_xx.qm to data/i18n/hn_xx.qm
   • or by runnning lrelease manually: lrelease hn_de.ts
2. Edit your client configuration file with a text-editor. Set the config variable locale to ”locale xx”.
3. Start the client. It should now use your new/updated translation.
