It would be great to also translate the learning materials and even help patches too, that's a much bigger question. </div><div><br></div><div>For translating Pd's interface, just create an account in Transifex and edit the translation file, or create a new one if your language isn't there. That's pretty straightforward, you'll see a list of all the English words and phrases used in the interface, and next to it you write the translation:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/puredata/">https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/puredata/</a></div><div><br></div><div>For documentation, I don't know much about tools for helping translate prose, but I do know that the FLOSS Manuals site is well setup to host translations. So perhaps a good place to start would be to make a translation of the Pure Data manual there. And of course, if you find things you should update in the English version, please go ahead and update them as you see fit:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/PureData/">http://en.flossmanuals.net/PureData/</a></div><div><br></div><div>As for the help patches, that's a harder question right now because we don't have a way to host help patches of multiple languages. It would be a matter of replacing all the help patches included in Pd-extended with your translated ones. I suppose that could be scripted so it wouldn't be hard to do. Ideally, someone will add localization support to pd patches, then each help patch could contain multiple languages.</div><div><br></div><div>.hc</div><br><div><div>On Jan 18, 2012, at 6:49 AM, Björn Eriksson wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Hello,<div>sending this offlist as I am so bad updated on the status of the translation works in general for Pd.

There seems to be a flurry of translation activity right now, with<br>
updates to Hungarian, French, Italian, and German and new languages<br>
added: es_ES, es_MX, ca, ko, and lv.<br>
<br>
If you are the speaker of one of these languages, check out the updates<br>
and make comments, suggestions, improvements, etc.<br>

<br>
For now, the transifex project is wide open to any contributor. We can<br>
change that to team-based permissions if anyone wants. Even better, if<br>
someone could take over the admin of the transifex project and leave me<br>
to work on other Pd things :-D<br>
