+++ Translating Midori +++

If you want to translate Midori, here are a few helpful tips.

To update the localization template:

./waf build --update-po

If you want to add a new language 'aa', create it like this:

cd po
msginit -l aa_CC -o aa.po -i midori.pot
sed -i 's/PACKAGE/midori/g' aa.po

Make sure you add your language to the file po/LINGUAS.
Just open the file with a text editor and add your code.

To check your language 'aa' for errors, do this:

msgfmt -c --check-accelerators=_ aa.po

To test your changes, make sure you install Midori:

./waf install

And of course you can uninstall it again after testing:

./waf uninstall

To run Midori in a particular language, run it like this:

LANG=fr_FR.utf8 midori

As a general rule, your localization should be based off of the
current state of the git repository.

Some strings have comments, starting with 'i18n', which are meant

for any unclear strings that you are uncertain about.
