Translations can be produced with the use of the [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/ GNU gettext tools]. To create or edit a translation file you can for example use [http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/gettext/PO-Mode.html Emacs PO-Mode] or [http://www.poedit.net/ Poedit] which are both free and available for various platforms. See [[#Editing Tools|Editing Tools]] for more tools. | Translations can be produced with the use of the [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/ GNU gettext tools].

For a new translation, use scummvm.pot (from [https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/tree/master/po the source code repository]) as a template and fill out the header. Then you just have to translate the strings and save your work in a po file. To download the file, click on scummvm.pot and then the ''raw'' or ''View Raw'' button. If this tries to display the file in your browser, do a right click on that button and select ''Save target file as...'' (the working might be different depending on the browser). You might also need to remove any extension added by your browser (for example for me Safari downloads the file as ''scummvm.pot.pps'', apparently believing it to be a MS Powerpoint file). | For a new translation, use scummvm.pot (from [https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/tree/master/po the source code repository]) as a template and fill out the header.
