-Translating SemanticScuttle
-===========================
-
-SemanticScuttle uses gnu gettext for translation. It does not
-rely on the php extension but ships with a pure php implementation,
-php-gettext[1].
-
-Using gettext from within the code is really easy:
-Enclose the string you want to translate in a "T_" function call.
-
-For example, to translate
-> echo "Vote for";
-just write
-> echo T_("Vote for");
-
-
-Translation basics
-------------------
-
-We keep one base translation file, data/locales/messages.po.
-This file is auto-generated via xgettext from all our php source files.
-In case you added a new string to the code that needs translation,
-update the base translation file by running
-> php scripts/update-translation-base.php
-
-After that has been done, the changes to the base messages.po file
-need to be merged into the single language translation files,
-for example data/locales/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po.
-
-Updating them from the master file is as easy as running
-> php scripts/update-translation.php de_DE
-
-When the translation is ready, the .po file needs to be compiled
-in a machine-readable .mo file. Use
-> php scripts/compile-translation.php de_DE
-to achieve that.
