International support

SourceWell can be easily translated into different languages. If you see that SourceWell does not have support in your language, you're gladly invited to help us with the internationalization of SourceWell by sending us your translation.

You don't need to have any computer or programming experience to do a translation. Keep on reading and you'll find out how easy it is.

1. Main outputs

Download the lang-translate.inc file (it also comes in SourceWell's 1.0 tarball) . If you edit it, you'll find lines like this:

     case "Home": $tmp = ""; break;

We will explain it briefly: after the case you will see the English text to translate writen in quotes (in our example, the English text is "Home"). Then you'll find a sort of equation. The content of your translation from English into your language should be placed in between these second quotes. For example, in the case you were making a translation into German, this would be the result for this line:

     case "Home": $tmp = "Heim"; break;

Ok, now that you're an expert, you'll notice that "Home" is translated into German as "Heim" ;-). The procedure just explained should be repeated with all the lines in this file.

Once you're finished, save it as YourLanguage-lang.inc and please send it to the authors. We will include it in the next releases so that everybody can benefit of your work.
