Redmine

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@

# 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.

*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.
