Translation to Catalan

Hello, I am planning on translating Processing to Catalan. I think I am aware of all the necessary steps to translate Processing. I am outlining them down below so that

1. Anyone can tell me whether I am missing something.
2. Offer a guide for future translators.

As far as I have been able to find out, by searching this repository, the steps to translate Processing are these

• Clone the Processing4 repository to your local machine.
• Create a copy of the PDE.properties file, name it PDE_xx.properties, and translate its content to your language (Catalan in my case). Where xx is the two-letter language code; in my case ca, thus in my case the file's name is PDE_ca.properties.
• Add the language code to the file of supported languages languages.txt.
• Let the Language class know the language code for your language.
• Build Processing (see README file) to test the translation and make sure everything is ok.

Edit: It seems some work has been done in Processing 4 (version 4.0 beta 5 actually) to allow the translation of contributed modes (see issue #236). But at the time of writing this text, no mode.properties file is yet available in the language directory, as the Language class method responsible for it requires. Maybe it is still a work in progress.

Edit2: I finished the translation 2 days ago and now I am trying to have it reviewed by some peers.

Yes, the documentation for the process was at https://github.com/processing/processing/wiki/Localization

…and I've just added a new version for 4.0 here: https://github.com/processing/processing4/wiki/Translations

Thanks for the new translation!

I see; that explains why I didn't manage to find any information on translating the application: I searched this repository (processing4) not the older one (processing).

Glad to help :)
