I figure sooneror later we'll have more of these docs, hence let's give them a clean place to be. This leaves NEWS and README/README.md as well as the LICENSE texts in the root directory of the project since that appears to be customary for Free Software projects.

Notes for translators
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
systemd depends on gettext for multilingual support.
|
|
In po/ directory you'll find the needed files.
|
|
|
|
POT (Portable Object Template)
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
A text file with .pot extension, with all the extracted labels from code.
|
|
|
|
To update the template:
|
|
|
|
$ cd systemd/
|
|
$ ninja -C build systemd-pot
|
|
|
|
To start a new translation:
|
|
|
|
$ cd po/
|
|
$ cp systemd.pot <YOUR-LANG-CODE>.po
|
|
|
|
Replace <YOUR-LANG-CODE> with the two-letters codes of ISO 639 standard.
|
|
|
|
PO (Portable Object)
|
|
--------------------
|
|
A text file with .po extension, with all the available labels and some additional
|
|
metadata fields. Any editor is ok, but a good standard is 'poedit', a graphical
|
|
application specifically designed for this kind of task.
