About KMess:
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
KMess is a Windows Live Messenger client for Linux. It enables
|
|
Linux, Mac and even Windows users to chat with friends online
|
|
who are using the official Messenger client for Windows. The
|
|
strengths of KMess are its integration with the KDE desktop
|
|
environment, its focus on Live Messenger specific features
|
|
and an easy-to-use interface.
|
|
|
|
Like many Linux and KDE applications, KMess is free software.
|
|

Updating the translations
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
You can help translating KMess!
|
|
|
|
This is what you need to do:
|
|
- Get the latest version of KMess
|
|
- Install "lokalize" (supplied with "kdesdk")
|
|
- To create a new translation file, copy "kmess.pot"
|
|
to a new file named "<your language>.po".
|
|
- Open the language "po" file, and start translating!
|
|
Also watch for translations marked as "fuzzy",
|
|
they often need updating.
|
|
- Update the translations.
|
|
- Test the new translation.
|
|
(to test other languages, run 'KDE_LANG=<code> kmess')
|
|
- Contact the KMess developers to send your changes!
