HowTo translate Redmine in your own language¶

Redmine can easily be translated in any language.

There are 3 things to translate:

1. the main lang file (located in /lang)
2. the email templates (located in /app/views/mailer)
3. the calendar lang file (located in /public/javascripts/calendar/lang)

Say you want to translate Redmine in Finnish (fi as defined in the IANA Language Subtag Registry):

1. copy /lang/en.yml to fi.yml and translate every strings this file contains.
2. copy the mail templates you’ll find in /app/views/mailer that have a language extension and name them according to your language code (eg. register_fi.rhtml)
3. copy /public/javascripts/calendar/lang/calendar-en.js to calendar-fi.js and translate every strings this file contains (mainly day and month names).

All this files must be UTF-8 encoded.
