Introduction

MonoDevelop has chosen to use gettext instead of resources for translating into other languages. This allows us to take advantage of GNOME translators' familiarity with gettext.

[edit]

Developers

Instead of using a string directly in your code, you just need to pass it to gettext which returns the translated string to you.

  1. Remember to encase all user-visible strings like so:
    • GettextCatalog.GetString ("user-visible string")
    • GettextCatalog.GetString ("user-visible string {0}", variable)
  2. Add files with these strings to MonoDevelop/po/POTFILES.in

Translators

See Gnome I18N (http://www.gnome.org/i18n/) for information about the GNOME translation project. Much of that material will also apply here. In particular:

  • Language codes (http://lcweb.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html)
  • Resources (http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/resources.html)
