Jonas, CenterIM 5 uses a system called GNU gettext [1] for its
internationalization and localization support. This is a standard
system for this task which is used by most open-source programs.
The official GNU gettext documentation [2] is a comprehensive
source about this system. It is a good idea to read the first
several sections of this manual and then sections that describe
how to work with PO and MO files.

Note that the documentation describes "raw" gettext commands
which you have to use for creating translations. The CenterIM 5
build system has some automatization for these tasks, for
example, you do not have to run msgfmt to compile your PO file to
an MO file, instead just run make in your CenterIM 5 build
directory and the build system does the PO compilation for you.

Another important thing to know is that CenterIM 5 picks its MO
files only from the installation directory. If you run the
program directly in your build directory then translations stored
in this directory will not be found.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
