ejabberd-po

This repository contains the po files that translators can edit to localize ejabberd to their language.

As an alternative, you can use the ejabberd-po Weblate online service.

Obtain your po file

First of all, get the po file of your language:

• If you already downloaded ejabberd source code, you can download this repository by running ./configure --enable-tools; ./rebar get-deps
• If you have a Github account and plan to submit a Pull Request with your work, clone this repository.
• Or you can download only a po file, simply go to the src dir, select your file, and click on Raw.

Editor program

To edit a po file, you can use any gettext-compatible program, for example:

• Poedit (for Linux, Mac, Windows)
• Virtaal (for Linux, Mac, Windows)
• Lokalize (for Linux KDE desktop)

Share your improvements

Once you are happy with your translation work, you can submit a pull request in this github repository, or send your po file to the ejabberd mailing list...

Test your translation in ejabberd

If you want to start using your translation, or see it in action, run this in the ejabberd source code directory:

./configure --enable-tools
./rebar get-deps

Then copy your updated po file in deps/ejabberd-po/src/

And finally prepare and process it with:

make translations
