README

translators
-----------

see this page for a howto:

	http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/translator.html

Things like 

	msgid "/File/_Save Image As ..."

are menu items. You only need to translate the last part (following the final
"/"). The underscore character marks the accelerator (the underlined character
in the menu item). So you could put:

	msgstr "Sevy i_mago os ..."

and it would display as "Sevy imago os ...", with the "m" underlined.

tips
----

cd vips-8.x
find */* -name "*.c" > po/POTFILES.in
find */* -name "*.cc" >> po/POTFILES.in
find */* -name "*.h" >> po/POTFILES.in
find */* -name "*.cxx" >> po/POTFILES.in
find */* -name "*.cpp" >> po/POTFILES.in

	regenerate the list of files to search for strings ... don't forget to
	remove autogenerated files (eg. in swig) from the list

	you can also remove stuff in 'deprecated'

intltool-update --pot
