 		The &opie;-Project tries to offer the support for as many languages
 		as possible.  In this chapter the process of translating &opie; and its
 		documentation is explained.

 		To ensure that &opie; can be used by as many people as possible the
 		&opie;-project aims to be translated in as many languages as possible. Of
 		course, as there are so many different languages, there is always a lot
 		work to do. Furthermore, &opie; evolves and thus most likely there are
 		translations for applications which should be updated. In this tutorial
 		you will learn how to help &opie; to be available in as many languages as
 		possible and see how easy it is to give something very much respected to
 		the open-source community.

 		In order to translate for &opie; you need an editor to edit the
 		translationfile and preferably access to cvs.  The preferred editor
 		is Linguist. That is an application which comes with &qt;.  It has a
 		intuitive GUI and is very easy to use.  A tutorial can be found <ulink
 		url="http://doc.trolltech.com/3.1/linguist-manual-3.html">here</ulink>.
 	</para> 
 	<para>
 		However, you can use every editor which works with UTF8, for example VIM or
 		EMACS.  The advantage of Linguist is that its GUI is optimized for &opie;s
 		translationfiles and can help you by proposing a translation and notice
 		you if there is an error within the translation.
 	</para> 
 	<para>
 		CVS is a tool which the developers and most translators use to get the source
 		of &opie;.  If you already have an anonymous account for the &opie;-cvs you
 		should go to <filename class='directory'>OPIEDIR/i18n</filename> and do 
 		<programlisting>cvs up</programlisting>.  If there is already a translation for the language you would like to
 		translate you will see the language code in that directory.  For example,
 		for german this is <programlisting>de</programlisting> and for danish it is
 		<programlisting>da</programlisting>.  If not, you should contact the coordinator
 		<personname><firstname>Carsten</firstname><surname>Niehaus</surname></personname>
 		so that everything will be set up for your language.

 	<para>
 		As you can see the markup is very simple.  The part between two source-tags is
 		the english text which appears if there is no translation yet. In the first
 		case this is <quote>New</quote>.  The next row is where the translated string
 		would be.  The first two messages are already translated, the third is
 		not.  This is marked by the <programlisting>type="unfinished"</programlisting>.
 	</para> 
 	<para>
 		If you choose to use an editor like VIM instead of the prefered tool
 		-Linguist- you have to remove that mark and add the translated string
 		between the two <programlisting>translation</programlisting>-tags.
 	</para>
 	<para>
 		It might happen that you see <programlisting>type="obsolete"</programlisting> in a
 		.ts-file. You should not translate these stings as they do no longer appear in the
 		application. The translationcoordinator removes those strings from time to time. In
 		Linguist those strings are grey and not translatable.

 	<title>Filetypes</title>
 	<para>
 		As a translator one need to know three different filetypes.
 		
 		<filename class='extension'>ts</filename>
 		.ts-files are the most important files for translators.  In these files are all strings which
 		need to be translated and the translations themselfs.  All .ts-files are located in 
 		<filename class='directory'>OPIEDIR/i18n/xx</filename> while xx is a languagecode (eg. de or de).  
 		In theory .ts-files are the only ones a translator needs to know.
 		
 		<filename class='extension'>pro</filename>
 		Every application has a .pro-file from which the Makefiles are generated.  As a translator
 		you need to check if in every .pro-file is a line for the language you would to
 		translate for.  A line like this should look this way:
 
 		<programlisting>
 			 ../../../i18n/de/today.ts \
 		</programlisting>
 		
 		Usually the translationcoordinator takes care of these entries so you should not
 		need to edit them.
 		
 		<filename class='extension'>qm</filename>
 		These are binary files used by &opie; to display the translated strings.  They are
 		automatically generated by calling the command <command>make lrelease</command>.  Of course,
 		you need to have the binary of <application>lrelease</application> which comes with &qt;.
