simply look into the he.po file, or another .po files to get the idea.
its quite intuitive to me...

one possibility is to go through the .po file and see which entries
are untranslated (or fuzzy); second is to run lyx language set to
hebrew (i'm not using m$ win, so not sure how to setup LANG variable(s)).

well, you if you delete all the "#, fuzzy" lines and strings after
msgstr you are at the begining... it should be possible to make it
freshly in trunk, but havent enquired how. maybe somebody else in the list
can help.

I don't know poEdit, but it probably fails because the encoding of he.po is
wrongly defined:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Open the file in a text editor and set that declaration to the encoding that
is actually used (maybe iso-8859-8?). After that poEdit should be able to
open the file.

the .po files are simple text files, so you can use any text editor, which
knows how to open and save pure text files. i use 'vim' for example, but
thats maybe not good choice when you have no previous experience with it.

Technical Help Needed About Translating the LyX UI

2007-02-07 Thread Ran Rutenberg

Dear Translators,

I would like to start translating the LyX UI into Hebrew, but I ran
into some problems. I tried to open the he.po file using a software
called poEdit (I am running Windows XP) but I get an error that says
"Failed to convert file contents to Unicode".

Since I have no previous experience with the .po files, I will be glad
if someone could give me some instructions on how to open them and
edit them (if it is possible even to start the translation from the
beginning, either the 1.4 UI or the 1.5 UI).

Thank you very much,

Ran Rutenberg
