Transalation for malayalam

[Navaneeth-2]

Folks,

Is there anyone working on "Malayalam" translation? I am interested to
do that. If no one is working, where can I get the PO files?

Thanks
Navaneeth

Hallo Navaneeth

You can see a list of all the languages here:

http://developer.pidgin.im/l10n/

Since it seems that Malayalam is not started, you can probably start
fresh. You will see a link to the POT file right at the bottom of that
page.

Keep well
Friedel

I just saw that there was an earlier query on this mailing list about
starting with Malayalam from Alan Haggai Alavi <alanhaggai AT mail.com>
in May 2007.

Perhaps you should make contact to hear if anything has already started
and if some collaboration is possible.

Thanks Friedel,

I have emailed the guy you specified. I am taking Malayalam for
translation. BTW, I am absolutely new to this stuff. So let me check
whether my understanding is right.

1 - I have to download "http://developer.pidgin.im/l10n/pidgin.pot"
2 - Provide Malayalam values on "msgstr" for each "msgid".
3 - Create a ticket and submit the file.

Is that right?

Thanks

That is correct, but I would seriously recommend that you use a
translation tool instead of trying to type things into the "msgstr"
fields yourself.

Personally I would recommend Virtaal, but other tools are also
available, depending on your operating system. Once you have translated
some messages, you might want to test how well it works, even if you are
not yet finished. Since you are new, you might want to get some
instructions on how to review and test your translation before you
submit it.

The best is to use some automated tool such as  pogrep  and to also test
the translation in the running application.

Keep well
Friedel
