For KDE or any project which has .po files, we use either lokalize or poedit. Even me too a regular user of GNOME and only uses few K applications. Though I use lokalize for translations, I recommend poedit for the new translators as it is simple and light weight. <br>
<br>As of now we don't have any guidelines or standard terminology to use in translations, rather we use the earlier translations as translation data base, which also help us in translations. You can also the same.<br>
<br>Mean while I am planning to standardise the frequently used words for localization across any platform.<br><br>For any assistance and questions mail me. <br><br>Since I felt it good to have such discussion ove mailing list, I am keeping kde-l10n-kn list in the cc.<br>

Hi Shankar,<br>
<br>
What tools do you guys use on KDE for translating? I'm not very
familiar with the KDE environment. I'm a regular GNOME user and I
just use something like IBUS on ubuntu to write out kannada text
etc. Will that work in this case?<br>
<br>
Also, is Lokalize a web tool for translation? Can I use that?<br><font color="#888888">

why don't you go ahead and assign me a couple of

If you checkout all the files, it would be
helpful to set up a translation memory.
Otherwise it is OK to just download the files
which you need to translate. But please let me
on which file you wish to work on as some
other guys too working on KDE l10n, there are
chances of duplication. I request you to pick
the files from kdebase module as that is the
essential one. Once you are done with the
translations, please send me those files and I
will review before committing to svn
repository.<br>
<br>
Mail me for any assistance.<br>

Do I need to check out PO files? I've
never worked in the KDE L10n system
before. I'm not quite sure what the
procedure is. I can probably pick up 1
or 2 files and have at them over the
next couple of nights.<br>

Subject: [IMPORTANT] Preparing
for KDE 4.6 (fourth nag)<br>

Hi all, the beta 2 of KDE 4.6
has already been released and
message hard<br>
freeze is 4 days ago so
everything should be setting
down now.<br>
<br>
As always <a href="http://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kde4/essential/" target="_blank">http://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kde4/essential/</a>
defines if your<br>
language is to be released with
KDE 4.6 or not.<br>
<br>
According to <a href="http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.6_Release_Schedule" target="_blank">http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.6_Release_Schedule</a>
the<br>
KDE 4.6 tag day is 19th of
January (not much more than a
month from now) so<br>
you should have things commited
by 18th of January or earlier so
scripty has<br>
the chance to merge .desktop
files back.<br>
<br>
The following teams were in KDE
4.5 but at the moment don't meet
the release<br>
criteria, the list has the team
code and the messages missing to
be translated<br>
to meet the release criteria<br>
<br>
eo - 742<br>
fy - 455<br>
he - 21<br>
hi - 154<br>
kn - 482<br>
ml - 711<br>
<br>
If you have not started working
on 4.6 i think you should do it
as soon as<br>
possible.<br>
