Adding a new language
Only developers with commit access can add new languages.
First, Update po/hoverrace.pot. On Windows, run the build/update-po.cmd script. On Linux, run "make" in the "po" directory.
Next, in the "po" directory, run the "msginit" program (part of the gettext tools). For example, to add the "en_GB" language:
msginit -i hoverrace.pot -l en_GB
Now, open the new .po file and set the character set. Find the line that looks like:
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ASCII\n"
and change that to:
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n"
Next, add language to the "LINGUAS" file. This file lists all of the supported languages to build.
Finally, add it to Subversion:
svn add en_GB.po svn propset svn:mime-type 'text/plain;charset=utf-8' en_GB.po svn ci LINGUAS en_GB.po
