===Obtaining gramps.pot===
* Download <code>gramps.pot</code> from GRAMPS SVN repository, see [[Brief_introduction_to_SVN| the introduction to SVN]].
* Look for <code>gramps.pot</code> in the directory <code>gramps30gramps31/po</code> or if you looking for the trunk version look for <code>gramps.pot</code> in the directory <code>trunk/po</code>.
===Translating messages===
===Testing your <code>.po</code> file===
In the directory <code>gramps30gramps31/po</code> or the <code>trunk/po</code> run the command: <pre>make</pre> If there are errors in your po file, this will fail and give you an error message. You should correct these errors. If you have trouble understanding the error, try to run the next test, which might give a more verbose output.
====check_po====
In the directory <code>gramps30gramps31/po</code> or the <code>trunk/po</code> run the command: <pre>./check_po lang.po</pre> or <pre>python check_po lang.po > lang</pre> or <pre>alternative under Windows OS ???</pre> where lang is your language code. This will give you errors in your translation, information on badly translated phrases, ... the output could resemble something like this..
File: nl.po
====statistics====
In the directory <code>gramps30gramps31/po</code> or the <code>trunk/po</code> run the command: <pre>msgfmt --statistics lang.po</pre> where lang is your language code. This should not throw an error.
Basically this gives the same info in a condensed format: 3533 translated messages, 125 fuzzy translations, 12 untranslated messages.
