> To do this, get the GCompris .mo translation file from here:
> http://gcompris.net/incoming/locale/
> Follow the link up to the file gcompris.mo in the proper locale
> directory. For example, for French, follow fr/LC_MESSAGES/gcompris.mo
>
> Then copy it in :
> /usr/share/locale-langpack/"YOUR LOCALE"/LC_MESSAGES/gcompris.mo
>
> To determine you locale, you can start a console and run the "locale"
> command alone. You can check the output line like for French it displays
> LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8. The short locale is 'fr'. You can then check what
> locales are installed for GCompris with this command:
> find /usr/share/locale-langpack/ -name gcompris.mo
>
> It will display one or more lines like this:
> /usr/share/locale-langpack/mr/LC_MESSAGES/gcompris.mo
> /usr/share/locale-langpack/th/LC_MESSAGES/gcompris.mo
> ...
> depending on how many locales you have installed.
>
> As you need the super user right, and I don't know how to to this from
> the user interface, you can enter these commands in a console WHILE
> REPLACING /fr/ by /"your locale"/ :
> cd /tmp
> wget http://gcompris.net/incoming/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/gcompris.mo
> sudo cp gcompris.mo /usr/share/locale-langpack/fr/LC_MESSAGES/
> <Enter your user password>
>
> Then start GCompris, it should be properly translated.
>
> Let me know if this works.
