Translating synfig & synfigstudio
Synfig and Synfigstudio are now translatable. We are using the standard "gettext" system and .po files. The gettext manual has lots of good advice for translators and programmers alike.
If you add a .cpp or .h file who contain new translatable strings (standard gettext), you must add those files in the associated potfiles.in that you can found in the "synfig-core" or "synfig-studio" po directory.
Since migration to "intltool" the build system do not automatically generates the PO Templates. In order to generate and update the translations, from both "synfig-core" and "synfig-studio" directories use command "cd po && make update-po".
Online translation tool
