                  Adding a translation to GKrellM
                  -------------------------------


1) Extract the strings from the source
--------------------------------------
In the gkrellm po directory, create the .po template (.pot):

	xgettext -k_ -kN_  ../src/*.c  ../src/sysdeps/*.c -o gkrellm.pot
or
	make enable_nls=1 messages


2) Update or create .po files
-----------------------------
If there are any existing translations, XX.po files, then merge them:

	msgmerge --no-fuzzy-matching XX.po  gkrellm.pot > XX.po.new
	mv XX.po.new XX.po
or
	make enable_nls=1 merge

or, if this is a new translation, copy the template:

	cp gkrellm.pot XX.po

Note: after you've created your initial .po file, these xgettext and
msgmerge operations can be done automatically from the top level
gkrellm directory with the command:

    make msgmerge


3) Add translations
-------------------
Edit XX.po to add translations for new strings, fix broken translations,
and touch up fuzzy translations.


4) Make and install GKrellM with i18n enabled
---------------------------------------------
If make is run from this directory instead of the top level dir, you must
explicitely enable i18n in all the below examples by adding enable_nls=1
to the make command:

	make enable_nls=1

And for the install step:

	make install enable_nls=1

i18n will be automatically enabled when make is run from the top level dir.


In either case, a make install will for each XX.po file create a XX.mo file
and copy it to:

	$LOCALEDIR/XX/LC_MESSAGES/gkrellm.mo

If there is no LOCALEDIR environment variable, then the default install
will be to:
1) make run from the po directory:

	/usr/share/locale/XX/LC_MESSAGES/gkrellm.mo

2) make run from the top level directory:

	$INSTALLROOT/share/locale/XX/LC_MESSAGES/gkrellm.mo

where the default $INSTALLROOT is /usr.  See the top level Makefile.


But, if you want a different explicit install directory, do for example:

	make install LOCALEDIR=/usr/local/share/locale

or (for bash)
	export LOCALEDIR=/usr/local/share/locale
	make install

Other export lines:
	sh:  export LOCALEDIR; LOCALEDIR=/usr/local/share/locale
	csh: setenv LOCALEDIR /usr/local/share/locale

You can also specify the textdomain package name.  From bash:
   make install PACKAGE=gkrellm2

============================================================================
Using a translation
-------------------

A user must have localizations enabled for a translation to be used.
To enable a localization, the LANG environment variable should be set
via the command line or the shell login startup files.

For example, to see the French translation, a user should be able to:

From bash:
	export LANG=fr_FR
or from csh
	setenv LANG fr_FR

If fr_FR does not work, try fr_FR.ISO_8859-1
