Adding Translations

To translate BoxBuddy, please follow these instructions:

• Make a folder inside BoxBuddy’s po folder named after the locale, e.g. mkdir po/fr_FR
• Make a folder inside there called LC_MESSAGES, e.g. mkdir po/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES
• Copy the boxbuddy.pot file to to your-locale.po inside that folder, e.g. cp po/boxbuddy.pot po/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/fr_FR.po
• Fill in the translations in your new .po file. This can be done using https://poedit.net
• (Optional) compile your .po to an .mo by running make translate.
  • I don’t mind doing this step, so please feel free to commit a PR with just the new .po file
• Make a Pull Request as normal.

Testing a translation

• Open up src/utils.rs and find the comment which starts with --TRANSLATORS:
• Comment out the if/else statement below by adding // to the start of the lines
• Run cargo run as normal
