Conventions
-----------
There are some conventions that l10n contributors must follow:
1. The subject of each l10n commit should be prefixed with "l10n: ".
2. Do not use non-ASCII characters in the subject of a commit.
3. The length of commit subject (first line of the commit log) should
be less than 50 characters, and the length of other lines of the
commit log should be no more than 72 characters.
4. Add "Signed-off-by" trailer to your commit log, like other commits
in Git. You can automatically add the trailer by committing with
the following command:
git commit -s
5. Check syntax with "msgfmt" or the following command before creating
your commit:
git-po-helper check-po <XX.po>
6. Squash trivial commits to make history clear.
7. DO NOT edit files outside "po/" directory.
8. Other subsystems ("git-gui", "gitk", and Git itself) have their
own workflow. See [Documentation/SubmittingPatches][] for
instructions on how to contribute patches to these subsystems.
To contribute for a new l10n language, contributor should follow
additional conventions:
1. Initialize proper filename of the "XX.po" file conforming to
iso-639 and iso-3166.
2. Must complete a minimal translation based on the "po-core/core.pot"
template. Using the following command to initialize the minimal
"po-core/XX.po" file:
git-po-helper init --core <your-language>
3. Add a new entry in the "po/TEAMS" file with proper format, and check
the syntax of "po/TEAMS" by runnning the following command:
git-po-helper team --check
