Hi everyone,
Historically the updates to Dolphin translations were managed on a forum thread, with Glenn uploading new POT files and translators updating their PO files to new forum posts. It kind of worked so far, but now that we're planning to translate more stuff (website, FAQ, online guides) we need to automate some of the translations management.
We decided to handle all the translations using a free online service called Transifex. They integrate very well with our workflow and after a small period of tests Glenn and I decided we should start using it for real.
What does that mean for translators?
To help translating Dolphin, here is what you need to do:
Thanks to all the translators, and especially thanks to Runo for creating and helping manage the previous translation thread. I hope everyone will be happy with Transifex!

To help translating Dolphin, here is what you need to do:
- Create an account on Transifex, with a valid email address that you often read (you will get notifications there when new stuff need to be translated)
- Go to the Dolphin Emulator page on Transifex
- If the langage you want to help translating is already listed, click on it, then click on "Join Team". Someone will need to confirm you joining the team. If the language does not exist, click on "Create Language".
- When you have been approved to join a team, you can start translating our resources. Our current resources are the Emulator strings and the Website strings. Click on the resource you want to translate, then click "Translate now" to start editing the translations online.
Thanks to all the translators, and especially thanks to Runo for creating and helping manage the previous translation thread. I hope everyone will be happy with Transifex!
