This will complain if you are not building against + Qt 4.6 (or the master branch which will become it). + + If your Qt version is too old, you may create a template by running + lconvert --drop-translations qtcreator_de.ts -o qtcreator_<yours>.ts + and adjusting the language attribute in the new .ts file. The downside + of this method is obviously that you will not be translating the newest + Creator sources (unless qtcreator_de.ts was completely up-to-date). + Of course, this method is not applicable if you are updating an existing + translation. + + You may also request an up-to-date template from us. + + The remaining steps do *not* require Qt 4.6 in any case. + +- Fire up linguist and do the translation. + +- Check in the modified .pro file and _only_ your .ts file. + +- Make a merge request on gitorious. + +- .qm files are generated as part of the regular build. |
