How to localize orca

There two aspects to consider if you translate orca. First,
you have to
use the intltool to create or modify th po files which
contain the
translations. If you have checked out the orca sources from
svn you
should enter the »po« directory and proceed following
steps:

(1) Create the pot file:
    intltool-update --pot
(2) Rename the pot file to xh.po:
    mv orca.pot xh.po
(3) Editing the file, creating the translation:
    vi xh.po
(4) Convert the file to UTF-8 (you can skip this if it's
UTF-8 already):
    msgconv -t UTF-8 xh.po > xy.po.new && mv
xy.po.new xy.po
(5) Check the file for errors
    msgfmt -cv -o /dev/null xh.po

I assume xh is the appropriate ISO 639-1 code for your
language but I am
not sure about this.

The second aspect to consider is the fact that a lot of
strings that are
 translated are spoken. Therefore you first should check out
if there is
a speech engine that supports your language.

To add a new translation to the orca svn repository requires
to have a
svn translator account. Usually you have to have some
experiences in
translating before such an account is given to you. The best
way to get
involved is to contact the GNOME Translation Team or the
Translation
Coordinator for your language. This page might give you more

Hi Fabiano:

Orca is merely a user of sound, and it only does so
indirectly via the
speech synthesis engines.  As such, I'm not really quite
sure how to do
what you are asking.
