<h1>Translating <span class='wikiword'>FreeGuide</span></h1>
<h3>Files to translate</h3>
<p>You can help translating <span class='wikiword'>FreeGuide</span> by downloading a source package and providing translated versions of all the files called "something.en.properties" that you find inside the "src/resources/i18n" folder, but the best way is to <a class='wikilink' href='BuildTheLatestSource.html'>Build the latest source</a>. Then you can test your work more easily, and keep it up-to-date with the latest changes to <span class='wikiword'>FreeGuide</span>.
</p>
<p class='vspace'>There are quite a lot of files in the src/resources/i18n folder, but the most important (and largest) file is <span class='wikiword'>MessagesBundle</span>.en.properties.
</p>
<p class='vspace'>To translate a file, copy the file ending with .en.properties, and rename it for your language and region (e.g. ".fr.properties" or ".en_US.properties"). Ask on the developers' mailing list if you don't know what your language and region codes should be. Now, modify the copied file so that everything on the right-hand side of the "=" sign is in your language (leave everything on the left of the "=" exactly as it is).
</p>
<p class='vspace'>It looks like a lot of files, but most of these only have a few entries in them.
</p>
<p class='vspace'>Now send the translated files to the developers' mailing list: freeguide-tv-devel@lists.sourceforge.net. Thank you!
</p>
<p class='vspace'>It would also be great to get the documentation translated - email the developers to find out exactly what needs translating and how to do it.
</p>
<p class='vspace'>In general, we really welcome translations of <span class='wikiword'>FreeGuide</span>, so if you need help, please do ask and we'll do our best to help you.
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><h3>Testing your translation</h3>
<p>To test your translation, follow the instructions on how to <a class='wikilink' href='BuildTheLatestSource.html'>Build the latest source</a>. (The short answer is: run "ant compile".)
</p>
<p class='vspace'>Put your translated files into the src/resources/i18n folder with the others.
</p>
<p class='vspace'>Now run <span class='wikiword'>FreeGuide</span> from within the src directory like this:
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><pre class='escaped'>cd bin
java -Duser.language=zh -Duser.country=TW freeguide.startup.Startup</pre>
<p class='vspace'>replacing "zh" with your language code, and "TW" with your region code.
</p>
<p class='vspace'>If you are not using a region code, the correct command is just:
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><pre class='escaped'>cd bin
java -Duser.language=zh freeguide.startup.Startup</pre>
<p class='vspace'>Alternatively, if you want to test the translation inside the JAR files once they have been created (i.e. after running "ant jar") then the command would look something like this:
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><pre class='escaped'>cd jar
java -Duser.language=zh -Duser.country=TW -jar FreeGuide.jar</pre>
<p class='vspace'>Do ask the developers (see <a class='wikilink' href='../Main/ContactUs.html'>Contact Us</a>) if you run into any problems or have questions.
</p>
