Translating using PO files

PO (Portable Object) is a very popular format for storing and translating many open source applications. Openbravo ERP uses XML to import and export translations. However, with little effort, these XML files can be converted into PO files, that are more easy and friendly to work with.

PO files have a very simple structure. They look like:

#: AD_MENU_TRL_en_US.xml:1(value) 
msgid "original text"
msgstr "translated text"

You have to provide the translation in the msgstr placeholder.

You can use PoEdit for editing PO files or a regular text editor.

File list

The following list contains all the Openbravo localizable files. You can download the latest Catalan version from Subversion.

Please, start localizing the files that contain _Name as part of their filename.
