# Translating IsoDumper
First, make sure you have installed the `gettext` and `intltool` package.
Here are the steps to add/update a translation (you should run all scripts from
the source root):
1. Get an up-to-date copy of the source files. Preferrably, make a clone on
GitHub and clone it locally on your machine; this way you can later make a
pull request to the main project.
2. Run `./tools/po-update.sh <language>`; it will create/update the file
`./po/<language>.po`.
3. Edit `./po/<language>.po` with your favourite editor (just make sure it saves
the file with the UTF-8 encoding). For each string in english (msgid), edit
the translation (msgstr); if you leave msgstr empty, the string will remain
untranslated.
Alternatively, you can use the excellent `poedit`.
4. Run `./tools/po-compile.sh`. It will bring up-to-date all the compiled
language files, necessary at runtime.
5. Start IsoDumper (`./bin/isodumper`). By default it will pick up the system languge
from your environment; to start it in another language, run
`LANGUAGE=<language> ./bin/isodumper`.
You can edit the translation iteratively, just repeat from step 3.
If the upstream changes, do a `git pull` and then repeat from step 2.
