<br>
</div>I might help too, as I have already done that. It should not take so<br>
long.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Because I am not so familiar with gtk programming, I don't know for sure how translation will be done in .cpp files. Here:<br><br><a href="http://www.fifi.org/doc/gnome-dev-doc/html/gnome/gnome-gnome-i18n.html">http://www.fifi.org/doc/gnome-dev-doc/html/gnome/gnome-gnome-i18n.html</a><br>
<br> I found directives how is translation going in GNOME projects via gettext. This is standard method for translating and as Jean says this is not so big job to do. I just think that the time that I would spent to modify the code it will be much more than the time spent for someone who knows the source code.<br>
<br>Anyway I will help in testing, or any other way. Just tell me what to do.<br><br>The application that we are working on, will be in production on Edubuntu 7.04, so thats why I asked for version 2.10 (the version which comes with Ubuntu 7.04), but if I make custom build with version 2.98 no one will have complaints.<br>
