Translations:Translating LimeSurvey/7/en
From LimeSurvey Manual
Sometimes you want to modify an existing translation so it accommodates your particular survey situation better. In that case do the following:
- Go to http://translate.limesurvey.org (external link), pick the LimeSurvey version you want to translate for and the particular language you want to modify.
- On the bottom of the translation page you will find an option to export all strings as .po file. Do that and save it as *.po file to your local harddisk:
- Download and install poEDIT
- Start poEdit end edit the downloaded *.po file - modify the particular translations.
- Save. When you save the .po file then automatically a .mo file is created too. That is the one LimeSurvey will read from.
- Place the particular .mo file in the right language folder in /locale by replacing the existing one - for example for French this would be /locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/fr.po
- Done.
