Internationalization (i18n of X2Go)

This page is under development, proof reading needed. FIXME

Overview of the process

  1. Install needed software
  2. Clone a copy from git
  3. (if needed) Add your language and create the initial language file
  4. Translate
  5. Prepare the patch and send it to the mailing list

The process in detail

X2Go uses Qt4 which has a great tool to help you translate X2Go into your language - Qt Linguist.

  1. To be able to translate you need to install Qt Linguist (version 4.x) - for Debian and Ubuntu you can install qt4-dev-tools, which also will install qt4-linguist-tools that also is needed. The preferred way of sending in translations is as git-patches, so we need git which in Debian and Ubuntu is accomplish with installing the package git.
  2. We need a directory to keep the cloned copies of the git repository, I prefer to have mine in ~/git/ , but you can choose what suits you best.
    1. Open a terminal and move to the chosen directory.
