Making Translation for OSTC Planner

1. Install the latest OSTC Planner version from the official page:
       http://ostc-planner.net/wp/download
       (Mac or PC, as you prefer).
2. Get the translation kit. It contains translation files fo all languages supported. The latest version is on the distribution directory here:
       TraductionKit_434.zip
3. Unpack it into the OSTC Planner installation directory: C:\Program Files(x86)\OSTC\OSTC Planner 434\
4. The Linguist application allows to edit the ostc_planner_XX.ts text file (where XX is "es" for Spanish, "de" for German, "fr" for French and "it" for Italian).
   A nice documentation is here: developer.qt.nokia.com
   
5. Translate messages from the .ts file. Useful keyboard shortcuts are:
       Ctrl-B            Copy the English version into the translation. This a good start when there is special chars (%1, HTML tags, etc.).
       Ctrl-J             Jump to the next message to check or translate. Ie. save current translation (if any), but do not mark it as validated.
       Ctrl-Enter     Validate the current message, and jump to the next.
   

   Things you should pay attention to:

      
   • Use the technical language the majority of divers are familiar with. Even if they are not very Italian/Spanish/German/French...

     E.g. Setpoint should not be translated in French or spanish, as the is the technical term you will wind in most forums...

   • Most messages are buttons or label texts. They use one or two words because they have to fit it a tight place. In that case, you must use short words too or abbreviations so set they will fit. There is elasticity it the interface, but not so much.    
   • Some texts are chunks of phrases. You must respect that too.    
   • Some texts have special markers (%1 are for arguments, HTML tags, returns, leading or trailing spaces and punctuations, etc.)       You should respect that too.

   This is not as difficult as it may sound: For most messages, you have a graphical display of the text under translation. You can also look at various translations used in other languages (directly in OSTC Planner).
       --> In case of doubt, let the message not validated yet (or just skip it).

6. Once you saved and quit, you can try your translation by compiling it, using the command:
           lrelease ostc_planner_XX.ts
       (you may first need to delete ostc_planner_XX.qm)
       Then switch to the language in OSTC Planner will reload the new translations.
7. AS SOON AS YOU HAVE SOMETHING, send me the ostc_planner_XX.ts file, so that I will repack a beta installer.
