Internationalization

It is possible to adapt a package to many languages as explained in the Internationalization and Localization document.

Translation File

As specified in Internationalization and Localization, for each supported language, you need to create a separate po file. Follow these steps for it:

  1. In the Project panel, open the Package Contents and double click the Internationalization item.
  2. In the Locale Selection dialog, move all languages you are going to support from the Available locales list to the Selected locales list and then click OK.

This will create a po file for each selected language. The file will contain a translation entry for each translation string it finds in the package.

Translator

Once a po file is created for a language, an interpreter can open it to start interpreting translation strings of the package:
