# How to add a translation for Emeus

In order to add a translation, you need to take the `emeus.pot` file and
turn it into the `.po` file for your locale; the most direct way is to
just copy it, e.g.

    # For the Italian (it) translation
    cp po/emeus.pot po/it.po

In order for the build to pick the new file up, you'll have to modify
the `po/meson.build` file, and add your language to the list of available
ones, for instance:

     langs = [
       'en_GB',
    +  'it'',
     ]

Now edit the newly added translation file and commit it to the repository
when done.

# Regenerating the POT file

Run the `ninja emeus-pot` command, which will re-scan all the files
listed in the POTFILES file for translatable strings.

# Updating existing translations

Run the `ninja emeus-update-po` command, which will update the PO files
for all the listed languages with the contents of the POT file.
