The primary source of translateable content for ALT-specific things (mostly installer and configuration modules) is alterator-l10n: http://git.altlinux.org/gears/a/alterator-l10n.git -- clone the repo with: git clone git://git.altlinux.org/gears/a/alterator-l10n.git have a look at the modules present: cd alterator-l10n/alterator-l10n/pot ls get into position: cd ../po mkdir -p dk cd dk Then we need to select the first module to translate; the most common (but also most hefty and boring) are: alterator (the base infrastructure itself) alterator-vm (disk partitioning, filesystem handling) alterator-pkg (package group selection) alterator-net-eth (ethernet/wifi interfaces) Further, here's a list of alterator packages included into ALT's most "homy" distribution, http://getalt.org/simply: alterator * alterator-auth * alterator-datetime * alterator-lookout * alterator-luks alterator-multiseat alterator-net-eth * alterator-net-openvpn alterator-net-pppoe alterator-net-pptp alterator-notes * alterator-packages alterator-pkg * alterator-postinstall * alterator-printers alterator-root * alterator-services * alterator-sslkey alterator-standalone * alterator-sysconfig * alterator-update-kernel alterator-users * alterator-vm * alterator-x11 alterator-xkb * I've excluded *-functions which have no translated strings and alterator-l10 itself; and marked those more important packages with an asterisk. Copy a template file of choice into the target directory: cp -a ../../pot/alterator.pot . ...and it's ready for translation. If you're familiar with git[1], just commit the result when another .po file seems done, and push the result somewhere (github, gitlab, basically any git hosting including one's own if present) or send the commits via email (starting with `git format-patch -1` or alike); probably to me personally to avoid cluttering community-en@, or if more people get interested, we can create a separate translators' ML and head there (I'd invite our translation team girls then). If not, well just send me the .po files, will take care of getting them into alterator-l10 "as is".
