Translating CHIRP¶
If you want to help translate CHIRP into another language, please follow these steps:
- Create a new issue for the language and include the language code. Here is a helpful list.
- Someone will create an empty template .po file and attach it to your issue
- Translate the file. Generally, poedit is the best way to do this. Be sure to fill out the translator meta-details.
- Attach the resulting translated .po file to the ticket
- A developer will check it over and then submit it for inclusion
