Internationalization

OrgaMon is a native German Product. Even if the GUI can be translated without recompile OrgaMon, internal Datastructures will belong German. First let's give a survey how you can prepare OrgaMon for your localization.

Now, lets start introduce how OrgaMon is doing this.

Preparation

get default.po

Ask the developer for the default.po. Place the File

 default.po 

to

 <OrgaMon.exe-Path>\locale\en\LC_MESSAGES\default.po 

or any other localization you want to build (Replace the "en" by the locale-Alias of your choice).

'Tip: Check yours computer locale by starting Orgamon an read the text on lower border after the @'
'Tip: Switch OrgaMons locale setting by typing in the Commandline:'

 cd \<Your-OrgaMon.exe-Path>
 set lang=en
 OrgaMon

Install a special Texteditor

All your Translation work is saved in a single File (a .po File). You can edit this with a simple Text Editor, but there is a better way: Downlaod and install the famous po-Editor:

Install a Compiler

OrgaMon can not read .po Files. They must be converted to .mo Files. The downloaded Tools will enable you to do this conversation for you. The "ggfmt" will generate a .mo file from a given .po - File. After any changing of the .po File is done, you can generate the .mo file. OrgaMon must be restartet so that changed content of the .mo is recognized.

Developement Cycle

• Edit your .po File
• save it
• change to the explorer
• right click on the .po File, choose "Open with" -> "ggfmt"
• restart OrgaMon
