Translating Fotowall

Did you know you can translate Fotowall into your language, and all you need to know is a little bit of english and your grammar? ;-) Translating is really easy and your friends and all the users from your country will benefit from that!

 

How it works

The translation is done on "strings". You translate each string (some really small like "Ok", other bigger like the "Intro text") and string translations are preserved and merged between different versions of Fotowall. Just follow those easy steps:

  • You have to download the last version of the file containing the strings
  • You have to install the Qt4 Linguist tool, that comes with the Qt Sdk
    • You can find the Windows and Mac OS X standalone application in this page (thanks to Alessandro). As an alternative, you can download the compleate Qt Sdk or just the Qt Framework
    • On Linux you will find Linguist or the Qt Translation tools on your package manager
  • Now start the Linguist, load the strings file, and you're ready to translate! (look at the guide for translators if needed)

When you are ok with the translation, just send us the latest version of the file with the correct name (ex. fotowall_it.ts for Italian).
