Intro

In this howto I will explain the following:

- Update your language file

- Create a new language file

Update your language file

If your language allready exists in Achievo, but it's not complete (check the languages page). You can update the language files of Achievo and ATK as follows:

1. Goto the languages directory in the Achievo directory 2. Search your language file and edit it 3. Search for lines with '// Missing string!!!' on the end, like: "unlocked" => "Unlocked", // Missing string!!! 4. Change the "Unlocked" into your language and remove '// Missing string!!!' "unlocked" => "Deblokkeren", 5. Save the file 6. Then goto the atk/languages directory and repeat step 2 till 5. 7. Mail both files to mailto:translations@achievo.org

Then we will add those files to the repository and the next release will contain them.

Create a new language file

When you language isn't support yet, you can add it as follows:

1. Goto the languages directory in the Achievo directory 2. Check [http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/list-en1.html Iso Codes) for your country code 3. Copy en.lng to your countrycode.lng 4. Change all english strings into your language 5. Save the file 6. Then goto the atk/languages directory and repeat step 2 till 5. 7. Mail both files to mailto:translations@achievo.org

Then we will add those files to the repository and the next release will contain them.
