Localization Guidelines
Simply translate online using Transifex (recommended for most users): https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/tomahawk/.
git clone https://github.com/tomahawk-player/tomahawk.git
cd tomahawk
lupdate src/ -ts lang/tomahawk_XX.ts
Now it's time to get our your language skills and translate quite a few of our strings. Do this by starting Qt's Linguist tool:
linguist lang/tomahawk_XX.ts
When you're done translating your first draft, go ahead edit lang/tomahawk_i18n.qrc and add your new translation to it. Now you need to build your own Tomahawk binary. This isn't too hard! See Building Tomahawk for detailed instructions.
cd tomahawk
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
export LANG=XX
./tomahawk
Tomahawk should now start up with your localized strings. Congratulations! Now you only need to send us your translation via eMail or, preferably, fork Tomahawk on GitHub and send us a pull request. Thank you!
Run those little commands to keep up-to-date with the latest progress of Tomahawk:
cd tomahawk
git pull
lupdate src/ -ts lang/tomahawk_XX.ts
This will merge and integrate the latest strings into your existing translation file. Your previous translations won't get lost, so don't worry. Now proceed as usual, start Linguist, edit some strings and recompile Tomahawk to test your new translations. Just don't forget to run cmake every time, to make sure your latest changes got compiled in.
