The LayoutEditor uses the qt library which makes the translation of the userinterface very simple:

1. Install Qt

If not yet done, install the qt library. This library can freely be downloaded on the trolltech homepage: Trolltech Qt 4 and follow the installation instructions.

2. Prepare the country setup

The source package of the LayoutEditor contains a translation directory with a file layout_new.ts. Rename/copy this file to "layout_xx.ts" where xx is the code for your country.

Example:
layout_de.ts for Germany
layout_ja.ts for Japan

3. Perform the translations

Start the Linuist tool of the qt library, open the layout_xx.ts file and make the translations.

4. Release the translations

Press the release button in the linguist tool or run "lrelease layout_de.ts" from the command line.
Copy the created "layout_de.qm" to the layout directory (C:/program Files/layout or /usr/share/layout).
Email the layout-xx.ts files to the LayoutEditor project to make the translation available to other program user. Your can find the eMail address in the about dialog of the LayoutEditor.
