Personally I find the launchpad web interface at: https://translations.launchpad.net/fslint/trunk/+pots/fslint/ better for tweaking rather than creating new translations. I suggest the easiest way for to do/test a new translation is to use the following commands: #ensure subversion is installed svn checkout http://fslint.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ fslint unset LANGUAGE #just in case export LANG=tr_TR.utf8 #change as required cd fslint/po msginit #now edit tr.po (change as required) make ../fslint-gui #to test #repeat this block as necessary
