First time usage

If you open the translator you will see the following screen:

To make sure you got the latest versions of the translations available press the Download latest translations button. This will download all the available translations including the original file which contains all the (english) strings as used in ted. Note that this can take a few minutes so please be patient.

New translation

If there is no translation present, of your language, on the latest translations page you can start translating right away. Translate the string in the second column on the same row in the third column.

If the cell is selected in the third column you can start typing (you don't need to double click). So if you have added translation and pressed Enter the following row gets selected and you can, again, translate the next string.

Updating a translation

If a translation is not up to date click the Open Translation button and select this translation. The translation will be read and the known translated lines will be added to the third column.

After this you can start translating the rest of ted.

Save translation

  • tedLang_xx_YY.properties
  • Restart ted and choose your language from the configuration dialog. Restart ted again to see your translation result.

Submit translation

If you've completed your translation you can . We'll then put it on the latest translations page so other people can use your translation! Don't forget to add your name to the translation so that you'll be credited in the about dialog.

Misc
