i18n

Please read the notes below before opening a PR.

Note: All the commands below need to be run in the project root directory, not in the po directory. Otherwise you may get Not the project root error in meson.

Updating a translations

meson builddir
ninja lutris-update-po -C builddir

Now update the $LANG.po file, and run after that

ninja lutris-update-po -C builddir
rm -Rf builddir

and commit your changes.

Creating a translation

meson builddir
ninja lutris-pot -C builddir
mv po/lutris.pot po/$LANG.po

Now edit the $LANG.po file, add $LANG to the LINGUAS file, and run after that

ninja lutris-update-po -C builddir
rm -Rf builddir

and commit your changes.

Notes

• Only commit changes for the translation file you actually edited.
• Delete the first five lines (copyright notice) in the $LANG.po files.
• Keep the LINGUAS file sorted alphabetically.
• The files to translate might change, run ./po/generate-potfiles.sh to check if there are changes in the files list. If that is the case, commit the change.
• Languages can't be tested without installing Lutris via meson:

  rm -Rf builddir
  meson builddir --prefix=~/.local
  ninja install -C builddir
  env LANGUAGE=$LANG ~/.local/bin/lutris
