| Anyone interested in translating Rosegarden should begin by [[:development_from_svn|checking out a copy of trunk/ from Subversion]]. You will want to have the source code available while you translate, so [[http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.5/linguist-manual.html|Qt Linguist]] can show you the code surrounding the string you are translating. You will find many helpful translator comments here in the Sources and Forms window of Linguist that you will not want to do without. Also, some strings won't make any sense without being able to see the source code. (Some strings won't make any sense even when you're looking at the source code! We have one string where %1%2.%3%4.%5%6((The %_ represent place markers where strings generated at runtime are inserted into the translation. Sometimes these are numbers, and sometimes they are other strings you have translated elsewhere.)) are replaced by variables with names like qi, q0, q01, s0, s01. How could any translator mistake what this code does?) | Anyone interested in translating Rosegarden should begin by following the steps on the [[dev:Building Rosegarden from Source]] page.
