====== Simple Invoices translation ======

===== The process for starting/modifying a translation ======

There are 2 different ways to translate Simple Invoices, 1 is by using Subversion - which is a version control tool and 2 is the manual version.  If your already familiar with subversion use subversion else use the Non Subversion method
==== Subversion ====

refer:
[[simple_invoices_subversion_how-to]]
  * check out the latest code using https:// and your gmail account
  * modify the existing files or add your new one (svn add)
  * commit the files (svn commit -m "include a message")
  * update the Translation bug in our issue tracking system with info amount your new files/edits
    * http://code.google.com/p/simpleinvoices/issues/detail?id=21&can=2&q=

==== Non Subversion ====

  * get the latest files from 
    * either from the latest version of Simple Invoices, in the lang folder
    * or if your after the most upto date files (which is recommended) copy the files from our subversion repository
      * http://simpleinvoices.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/lang/
    * english_UK will have the most upto date info: lang/en-gn/lang.php
  * create/or modify the language file of your choice( ie. fr/lang.php )

==== Note ====
  * also after each variable in the lang files theres a 1 or 0
    * 1 means the variable has been translated 
    * 0 means its still to be translated
    * The point to the 1 and 0 is so we can report on which files need updating
    * refer: http://code.google.com/p/simpleinvoices/source/browse/trunk/lang/lang_check.txt for a summary report of status of the lang files

  * NOTE: Please save your translation files as UTF-8, if your using Windows i recommend you use textpad 
(http://www.textpad.com/download/index.html#downloads), ive tried notepad/wordpad for UTF-8 and it hasn't worked correctly 

  * Post your new/or updated language files in Translation bug in our issue tracking system
http://code.google.com/p/simpleinvoices/issues/detail?id=21&can=2&q=
 
  * or if you cant post to the issue tracking system as mentioned above just send me(justin@kelly.org.au) the file and i'll include in - to easy
