h1. HowTo translate Redmine in your own language Redmine can easily be translated in any language. There are a few things to translate: # The main lang file, located in @/lang@ (or @/config/locales@ since r2493) # The calendar lang file, located in @/public/javascripts/calendar/lang@ # The wiki toolbar lang file, located in @/public/javascripts/jstoolbar/lang@ (for r1074 and above) Say you want to translate Redmine in Finnish (@fi@ as defined in the "IANA Language Subtag Registry":http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry): # Copy @/lang/en.yml@ to @fi.yml@ and translate every strings this file contains. # Copy @/public/javascripts/calendar/lang/calendar-en.js@ to @calendar-fi.js@ and translate every strings this file contains (mainly day and month names). # Copy @/public/javascripts/jstoolbar/lang/jstoolbar-en.js@ to @jstoolbar-fi.js@ and translate the strings. # Test your translation with command <pre>rake test</pre> If you get errors realated to gloc, you must fix them. # You can check if main en.yml have new strings. Just run <pre>rake gloc:update</pre> *All these files must be UTF-8 encoded.* Do not use HTML entities in translated strings. You can submit your translation "here":http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/issues/new?tracker_id=3 (login required) if you want it to be added to the next release. As of 2009-02-21, *only updates based on the new translation files* (found in @/config/locales@) *should be submitted.*
