+The two character language translation codes are defined by ISO_639-1, as
+stated in the gettext(1) full manual, appendix A.1, Usual Language Codes.
+
+
+Contributing to an existing translation
+---------------------------------------
As a contributor for a language XX, you should first check TEAMS file in
this directory to see whether a dedicated repository for your language XX
exists. Fork the dedicated repository and start to work if it exists.
+Sometime, contributors may find that the translations of their Git
+distributions are quite different with the translations of the
+corresponding version from Git official. This is because some Git
+distributions (such as from Ubuntu, etc.) have their own l10n workflow.
+For this case, wrong translations should be reported and fixed through
+their workflows.
+
+
+Creating a new language translation
+-----------------------------------
If you are the first contributor for the language XX, please fork this
repository, prepare and/or update the translated message file po/XX.po
(described later), and ask the l10n coordinator to pull your work.
language, so that the l10n coordinator only needs to interact with one
person per language.

+Translation Process Flow
+------------------------
The overall data-flow looks like this:
+-------------------+ +------------------+
# To interpolate variables:
details="oh noes"
- eval_gettext "An error occured: \$details"; echo
+ eval_gettext "An error occurred: \$details"; echo
In addition we have wrappers for messages that end with a trailing
newline. I.e. you could write the above as:
# To interpolate variables:
details="oh noes"
- eval_gettextln "An error occured: \$details"
+ eval_gettextln "An error occurred: \$details"
More documentation about the interface is available in the GNU info
page: `info '(gettext)sh'`. Looking at git-am.sh (the first shell
use Git::I18N;
print __("Welcome to Git!\n");
- printf __("The following error occured: %s\n"), $error;
+ printf __("The following error occurred: %s\n"), $error;
