How to create or update a translation

So, you noticed your language of choice is missing a string or you just spotted a less-than-ideal translation and want to contribute the updated string, here is some hints for fixing the issue and properly submitting your modifications for inclusion in MantisBT.

Communication about MantisBT localisation can take page at the mantisbt-lang@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list.

• register a user at translatewiki.net
• create a user page at http://translatewiki.net/wiki/User:YourUserName with a little information about yourself (example).
• set your user language in your preferences while logged in
• request translator access. This will take a few hours to be processed by a site administrator. Make certain you have created a user page.

After you have been given translator rights, you can translate MantisBT and the three core extensions at the following URLs:

• MantisBT core
• MantisBT Formatting plugin
• MantisBT Graph plugin
• MantisBT XML Import Export plugin

The translatewiki.net staff will add your work to the MantisBT source code periodically (once or more often every month), so the only thing you need to do is translate! Some localisation statistics can be found at translatewiki.net.

Follow the same process as for updating an existing translation. Use http://translatewiki.net. Once your translated percentage goes over 40%, the language will be added to the MantisBT source code by the translatewiki.net staff
