HOW TO TRANSLATE ICAROS

1. Download Poedit: http://poedit.net/

2. Grab the IcarosConfig.pot file from the top of this post

3. Open Poedit and click "Create new translation". Choose the IcarosConfig.pot file

4. Select your language and start translating

5. Once you've finished some or all translations, click 'Save' and save the file as 'Config.**.po',
   where the ** is the language tag which is already present once the dialog opens (e.g Config.en.po)

6. Save the file into the \Resources\Localize folder of the Icaros installation directory.

7. Open IcarosConfig, click the gear in the upper right corner to open the 'ui settings' page,
   then select your language under the LOCALIZATION setting

HOW TO VIEW YOUR CHANGES WITHOUT CLOSING ICAROS

If you have an existing po file open in Poedit and IcarosConfig at the same time, and you're working on your translation,
it is possible to view any changes you make in Poedit, right away in IcarosConfig with just a simple button press:

1. Translate a new string or make a change to a translation in Poedit

2. Click 'Save'

3. Switch over to IcarosConfig and press F9, to view the updated strings.

HOW TO UPDATE AN EXISTING TRANSLATION

1. Grab the new POT file

2. Double-click your existing PO file (located in the \Resources\Localize directory) to open in Poedit

3. Click 'Catalog->Update from POT file...' in the menu, and select the new POT file

4. Translate any new or modified (fuzzy) strings

5. Click 'Save'

NOTES

If you're unsure how to translate a specific terminology, the Microsoft Language Portal can be
a very useful site: Link to the portal

Remember to send me any new or updated localization files so I can include them in the next release of Icaros!
