RE: where have all the translators gone ..

["murshed" <murshedmohd at yahoo dot com>]

Thanks for replying

Ok... I opened the file you mentioned and did see the translation, now
what to do exactly?? It is already translated!

1. Which files need translation?

2. How do I know that I am translating a file that nobody translates at
the same time?

3. After translating a file... What is the next step?

4. if any body is free for an online training:) my email is
almurshed_ at hotamil dot com

thanks

So you have the PO and POT files of the translation, right ?
OK, now if you open the PO files in ANY text editor that can do UTF-8 (
such 
as VIM with arabic support, Kate, TextPad for windows, etc.. ) you will
see 
sequences of 'msgid' and 'msgstr' ..
the string that follows the 'msgid' is the original string that NOONE
should 
change of play with .. after every 'msgid' there is an 'msgstr' and the 
string that follows it is where you should put your translation ..
I recommend anyone that checked out the PO and POT files to open any PO
file 
( for example kdelibs.po ) to see how it is organized  .. and to know
how it 
Will be done ..

About the questions that came lately without a responce .. I am sorry I
was a 
little away lately, I had email probelms .. and I am back to help and
support 
( that is why I sent my email in the first place) ..
