Current status

Being translated. The language file of TuxGuitar on Pootle was uploaded in June 2008, but may not be the absolute latest version. Please continue to translate the version currently in Pootle.

* Which version is the latest version of TuxGuitar? See here and here.

Second-language feature

If your English isn't that good, and you wish to translate from another language, or if you want to use a second language as a reference while translating, our Pootle server has the second-language feature enabled. You can view the German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Continental Portuguese and Russian strings while you translate from English.

These five languages are available on the server in read-only format. Some of them have been partially translated by Decathlon translators, but we're currently sorting out the identities of their translators.

To activate a second source language in Pootle, go to your profile page and select the second language under Alternative Source Language.

Decathlon l10n progress

Translators' names and e-mail addresses are usually included in the translated files automatically. We also believe that translators should be given credit for their translations.
