Translations for ccPublisher are stored in gettext message catalogs.  Message catalogs are text files which associate translated strings with identifiers used by the application. Each string to be translated is referred to as a "message".

When translating ccPublisher there are two files which must be copied and editted for the core application.  [[Extending ccPublisher|Extensions]] may have their own message catalogs which need translating (see [[Translating Extensions]] for details on internationalizing ccPublisher extensions). The translation resources are located in the <code>resources/locale</code> subdirectory for a [[Developing ccPublisher 2|development sandbox]].  Use the following instructions to create a new translation for ccPublisher; these instructions are for translating ccPublisher to the fictional "ya" locale and assume a Linux development environment; Mac OS X should be similar.

The latest release of [[CcPublisher 2 2|ccPublisher 2.2]] includes support for the following languages:

* Create a locale subdirectory for your new translation

* English
−
  $ cd resources/locale

* Chinese (Taiwan)
−
  $ mkdir ya

* Croation

* Copy the template files into the new directory

* Polish
−
  $ cp ccpublisher.pot ya/ccpublisher.po
+
* Spanish
−
  $ cp p6.pot ya/p6.pot
 
−
* Edit the new files with the translated content.  Two areas need editted: the header information and the messages.
 
−
** The header information should be updated with the translator's contact information, email address and the character set used.  The character set should usually be <code>utf-8</code>.
 
−
** Each message is defined by two lines; the translated content goes between the quotes on the <code>msgstr</code> line.  The <code>msgid</code> line '''must not be changed'''.
