This is an opportunity for non-programmers to contribute as messages
can be easily translated. <b>No programming skills required!</b><br>
-In the links section at bottom of this page you find references to the

<h3>HOWTO</h3>
-We have 4 types of .po files per language (see locale/po/):
-<ul>
-<li> grasslibs_LANG.po: messages from libraries
-<li> grassmods_LANG.po: messages from commands ("modules")
-<li> grasstcl_LANG.po: messages from TclTk graphical user interface
-<li> grasswxpy_LANG.po: messages from wxgrass/wxPython graphical user interface
-</ul>
+Please refer to the
+<a href="http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_messages_translation">GRASS messages translation</a> page.
-Briefly, the steps to translate messages are (may be modified in future,
-more details in the README file linked below):
-
-<ol>
-<li>Get the latest development version from either the SVN repository or as SVN snapshot (see "Download" section)
- or download just existing .po files (see below) from SVN.
-<li>run: '<tt>cd locale</tt>' to change into the translation directory
-<li>run: '<tt>make pot</tt>' to create grass*.pot files (containing original messages)
-<li>run: '<tt>make update-po</tt>' merge new messages into existing *.po files (or create new po files)
-<li>Now translate the messages in the po/*.po files (using kbabel or other editor)
-<li>run: '<tt>make mo</tt>' create the mo files (binary translated message files)
-</ol>

-<P>
-To change to a certain LOCALE (if the system doesn't do it for you or
-for exploring other languages), do the following steps:
-
-<small>
-<div class="code"><pre>
-# 1. Define/check language settings:
- echo $LANG
- echo $LANGUAGE
- echo $LC_ALL
-
-# 2. Change it (example for to Japanese):
-# 2.a) bash shell:
- export LANG=ja_JP
- export LANGUAGE=ja_JP
- export LC_ALL=ja_JP
-
-# 2.b) (t)csh shell:
- setenv LANG ja_JP
- setenv LANGUAGE ja_JP
- setenv LC_ALL ja_JP
-</pre></div>
-</small>
-
-Now launch GRASS 6 in this terminal. If you launch it from an icon,
-you have to change the LOCALE in the computer setup program instead.
-
-<h3>Download of existing .po files for modification</h3>
-
-<a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/locale/po">Download current .po files</a>
-from SVN (useful if you want to partecipate without compiling GRASS). Please
-announce your efforts on the 'GRASS translations' mailing list (see above) to
-avoid that work is doubled. To start a new language, you can simply rewrite an
-existing file. Take care to rename it properly and to update the language specific
-metadata.
