Technical documentation

Most of the translation work is happening on Transifex, at https://www.transifex.com/otf/mailpile/

Contributing

To contribute, it's best to create a transifex account there and start working on the strings.

Using/testing translations

By now, the process is a bit rough:

  • open a transifex account
  • install the transifex client on your machine. (ex: on debian apt install transifex-client)
  • Fill ~/.transifexrc with your transifex credentials
  • make transifex will retrieve the translations with more than 50% of strings already translated
  • make compilemessages will make them available to Mailpile
  • Start mailpile, it should start with the locale of your system (if available).

If you want to force a different locale than your system locale (ex: fr_FR.UTF-8), run mailpile that way:

LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 ./mp
