Thank you for your offer to improve emc! Axis uses the "gnu gettext" system to translate strings into the user's language.
To create a new translation, first prepare your system to compile emc and get a checkout of the current source code, as described here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Installing_EMC2#On_Ubuntu_6_06_or_8_04_from_source steps 2.1, 2.2 and one of steps 2.3 and 2.4. After compiling emc2, you will find several files with the ".pot" extension in the src/po directories. For each of these you copy the file to a new ".po" file for your language--the two letter code for Vietnamese is "vi". For example, copy "axis.pot" to "vi_axis.pot" At the top of the file, enter some information that identifies the translation, the translator, and so on. Next, for each message in vi_axis.pot, write the translation. (For messages that you skip, the original text will be shown instead) When you want to test your translation, execute "make" again, then run the version emc you built. When you are satisfied with your translation, e-mail me the .po files that you wrote, and I will include them in a future release of emc. >From time to time, as new messages are added and old messages are changed, you should update the translation and send me the updated copy. There is more information about the process of producing translations in the file src/po/README, and in the documentation for gnu gettext which you can see by running 'info gettext' in the terminal after installing the gettext package. Please don't hesitate to send further e-mails if you need me to clarify these instructions.
