you want to translate into Serbian? Great! It seems there is no [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list in Debian. If you find other people who want to translate as well it would be a good idea to ask for creation of such a list where you can discuss your translations. Serbian translation lists I found: serbiangnome-lista at nongnu dot org gnom at prevod dot org kde-i18n-sr at kde dot org I recommend you subscribe to these. Since such a list is missing in Debian, I suggest to ask questions similar to this one on debian-i18n which I CCed. I also added you to CC: since I assume you are not subscribed, right? For other people: The Serbian language code is "sr". Some statistics: http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/po/sr http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/po-debconf/sr These statistics show Alastair McKinstry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> as a Serbian translator. Maybe you should contact him? http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/po/ shows that also some dialects such as [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] exists. I assume these should be changed to use the language code "sr" or is there a difference you are aware of? > I saw on debian website that I can download PO files, translate them and > submit them sa bug reports to package managers. > > Can you help me? Yep. I suggest you start with an important package such as aptitude (it's the main package management tool in Debian) (http://i18n.debian.net/material/po/unstable/main/a/aptitude/po/aptitude_0.4.11.4-1_aptitude.pot.gz). The POT file I provided is a simple text file which you can edit with several tools such as kbabel, gtranslator but also with special vim and Emacs plugins or a normal text editor (translate the "msgstr" lines). It's a huge one but I suggest to try to translate only a few strings at the beginning (let's say all strings you see in the main menu of the program) and either send me your file or open a wishlist bug report against aptitude as described in http://www.debian.org/Bugs/. I assume you are a Debian user and have access to such programs, am I right? Probably other people will ask you translating other programs ...
