=== Translations
==== Creating a new translation
To create a new translation, copy `translations/{project}.pot` to
`translations/[LANGUAGE ABBREVIATION].po`, (replace [LANGUAGE ABBREVIATION] with
the correct abbreviation for your language, e.g. “es” if you are translating
into Spanish or “pt_BR” if you are translating into Brazilian Portuguese).
Open your new po file with your favourite text editor, (or you may prefer to use
a translation catalog editor like link:{uri-poedit}[Poedit]), and first edit the
header section of your file. You will need to replace the text in UPPERCASE with
the correct values. The easiest way to work out how to do this is to compare it
to another po file that already exists.
==== Updating your translation
When it is time to update your translation, first update your Git working
directory. Then do the following:
[source,shell]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cd build
cmake --build .
cd ../translations
msgmerge --update es.po epubgrep.pot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then open your file and locate the strings that need updating. These will have
an empty *msgstr* or will be marked “fuzzy”.
