ScummVM does not use the po files directly. They need to be transformed into a ''translations.dat'' file instead. To use or test your translation you will therefore need regenerate that file. This involves the following steps: | ScummVM does not use the po files directly. They need to be transformed into a ''translations.dat'' file instead.

=== Generate Translations Data file outside of ScummVM code repository === | |||
This is the simplest option. Simply grab below one or the pre-compiled binary for the creation tool or compile it yourself. If you want to compile it yourself, you can get the source code from the [http://scummvm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/scummvm/scummvm/trunk/ ScummVM source code repository] (in tools/create_translations/). | |||
* [http://wiki.scummvm.org/images/7/75/Create_translations_windows.zip create_translations tool for Windows] | |||
* [http://wiki.scummvm.org/images/8/83/Create_translations_mac_10.6.zip create_translations tool for MacOS X Snow Leopard] | |||
* [http://wiki.scummvm.org/images/c/cf/create_translations_ubuntu_10.04.zip create_translations tool for Linux Ubuntu 10.04] | |||
Then place the creation tool and all the po translations files you want to include in the generated data into the same directory and run the following command on the command line: | |||
./create_translations *.po | |||
For Windows you can simply run the included bat file. | |||
This will generate a translations.dat file that you need to place in your ScummVM Theme path. | |||
