squirrelmail/locale

SquirrelMail distributes translations separately from the main package.

If you are using SquirrelMail from CVS, you can download translations with
the following commands:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/squirrelmail login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/squirrelmail co locales

If you are using a regular SquirrelMail release, translations should be
available from the SquirrelMail download page:

http://squirrelmail.org/download.php

Packaged translations are distributed in archives named

xx_XX-{sm-version}-{release-date}.tar.gz
xx_XX-{sm-version}-{release-date}.tar.bz2
xx_XX-{sm-version}-{release-date}.zip

For example:
es_ES-1.5.0-20031201.tar.gz should contain the Spanish translation of SquirrelMail
1.5.0 strings released on December 01, 2003. Translation is packaged with tar and
gzip.

The all_locales-{sm-version}-{release-date}.{tar.gz|tar.bz2|zip} packages contain
all available translations.

The locales-{sm-version}-{release-date}-src.{tar.gz|tar.bz2|zip} packages contain
all available SquirrelMail translations without compiled gettext strings. The
compilelocales script that is included in package should create all required .mo
files if you have the msgfmt program (this is useful if you want to create or
update translation files yourself).

The translation of SquirrelMail consists of:
1. translated gettext strings (squirrelmail.po)
2. compiled gettext strings (squirrelmail.mo)
3.(optional) translated help files (*.hlp)
4.(optional) translated images (sec_remove_*.png)

Gettext translations should be placed in
locale//LC_MESSAGES/ directory.
Help files are placed in help// directory.

For example:
Spanish translated strings should go to locale/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES/squirrelmail.po
and compiled strings go to locale/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES/squirrelmail.mo
Spanish help files are stored in help/es_ES/ directory.

Any questions about SquirrelMail translations can be directed to the SquirrelMail
Internationalization (i18n) Mailinglist: squirrelmail-i18n@lists.sourceforge.net
