[Solomon Gizaw]

Hi all,

 My name is Solomon Gizaw. I am from Ethiopia. I am a
student in Addis Ababa University studying my Ms.c in
 computer science .I would like to participate in
translation of Grass-Gis to Amharic Language .I
haven't seen anyone who has done it before in
Amharic.I have tried to get a PO files of other
countries and download it and also tried to translate
some of the words into Amharic using the poedit .But I
have tried to see the changes i made and use the
command "msgfmt" on the file grasstcl_am.po to create
a binary file and it creates message.mo file not which
i need to see the grasstcl_am.mo file .could anyone
tell me the  steps how I can compile
it after I have finished some of the translation.I
will submitt my work after I have finished some of the
work which is appropriate to include in the next
version.

 Thank you
Solomon

Selam Solomon. Welcome to the grass translators community .
If you are using grass from cvs you need to recompile grass after
translating any po file. You can find information about installation of
grass here:
http://grass.itc.it/grass63/source/REQUIREMENTS.html
If you are using packages, I don't if it is possible some hacking to
change installed files by your translated one.
And also information about translation process here:

It's not necessary to wait until translation is finished. You can
include your files at any stage in the cvs, so others using cvs grass
can see it translated, although partially.
Regards
Carlos

Hi,

Markus advised me, a while ago, about the benefits of updating often to cvs.
Basically it comes down to backup. If, for some reason you can't
continue working on the translation, then someone can pick up where
you left.

So, as they say, commit often.
