Create translations for VLC media player
==============
+The translation files are located in the "po" directory of the vlc sources.
Edit the appropriate file (for instance fr.po for French translation).
Write the translation of "msgid" strings into the "msgstr" field.
You can always ask vlc-devel@videolan.org for assistance.
Copy the resulting vlc.mo file to
/usr/local/share/locale/<LANG>/LC_MESSAGES
+Launch VLC with --language <LANG>
+Where <LANG> is the international shortcode for your language.
+
Testing your localization on Mac OS X
=====================================
tar xvzf gettext-macosx.tar.gz
Use the convert-po.sh script attached :
- setenv PATH gettext-macosx:$PATH
- setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=gettext-macosx
+ export PATH=gettext-macosx:$PATH
+ export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=gettext-macosx
./convert-po.sh <LANG>.po
[*]
Copy the resulting vlc.mo file to
VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/locale/<LANG>/LC_MESSAGES
+Launch VLC with --language <LANG>
+Where <LANG> is the international shortcode for your language.
+
"fuzzy" translations
====================
fixed the suggestion, do not forget to remove the "#, fuzzy" comment.
+Adding a language to VLC
+========================
+When the language is added to the VLC sourcecode, remember to also edit
+src/libvlc.h for the preference option, and src/misc/darwin_specific.m

[*] Step by step process to localize under Mac OS X (excerpt from a mail) :
cd ~/Desktop
curl -O http://www.videolan.org/pub/videolan/devtools/vlc-po-files.tar.gz
cd vlc-po-files
curl -O http://www.videolan.org/pub/videolan/devtools/gettext-macosx.tar.gz
tar xzf gettext-macosx.tar.gz
-setenv PATH ./gettext-macosx:$PATH
-setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH ./gettext-macosx
+export PATH=./gettext-macosx:$PATH
+export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=./gettext-macosx
[here you copy your it.po file to the vlc-po-files folder on your Desktop]
./convert-po.sh it.po
[here you copy the vlc.mo file to your
