GRASS messages translation project

Many users prefer to use software in their mother tongue which is mostly no English. This requires that all GRASS software messages have to be translated to languages other than English. The GRASS Development Team is seeking translators. Please subscribe to the dedicated mailing list at 

    GRASS translations mailing list
    http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-translations

Translation related issues may be discussed there. This is an opportunity for non-programmers to contribute as messages can be easily translated. No programming skills required!

Wanted languages

Simple Chinese, Swahili, Hindi, Greek, Tamil, Russian, Telugu, Português, ... Please join us!

HOWTO

We have 4 types of .po files per language (see in the source code the directory locale/po/):

  • grasslibs_LANG.po: messages from libraries
  • grassmods_LANG.po: messages from commands ("modules")
  • grasstcl_LANG.po: messages from TclTk graphical user interface
  • grasswxpy_LANG.po: messages from wxgrass/wxPython graphical user interface
