-# How to Translate
-
-## Update the `TaskBar.pot` file
-
-Update the `TaskBar.pot` file (i.e. template for translations) from the
-   current sources:
-```bash
-cd .../gnome-shell-extension-taskbar.git
-xgettext --join-existing -k_ -kN_ -o TaskBar.pot *.js
-```
-  All the translatable string in the `*.js` files, i.e. function calls
-with string parameters such as
-```
-   _("String to translate")
-```
-  should be found and included in the POT file for translation.
-
-  Unfortunately, the POT file copyright headers are replaced with a
-default ones. It can be easily fixed with Git interactive staging:
-
-```bash
-$ git add TaskBar.pot
-$ git gui
-# Staged Changes (Will Commit) | TaskBar.pot | <right click on header diff> | Unstage Hunk From Commit
-$ git checkout -- TaskBar.pot
-```
-
-Now we have the update `TaskBar.pot` file in both working directory and Git staging area.
-
-## Create new language
-
-Create new language from the template:
-
-```bash
-$ mkdir -p locale/cs_CZ/LC_MESSAGES/
-$ LANG=cs_CZ msginit
-$ mv -iv cs.po locale/cs_CZ/LC_MESSAGES/TaskBar.po
-```
-
-The language code consist of [language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) and optional
-[region](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2) code (Czech language
-[cs] in the Czech Republic [CZ] in this case).
-
-## Translate
-For translating we can use GUI program POedit. Qt Linguist is another
-alternative.
-
-```bash
-$ poedit locale/cs_CZ/LC_MESSAGES/TaskBar.po
-```
-   or
-```bash
-$ linguist locale/cs_CZ/LC_MESSAGES/TaskBar.po
-```
-
-The PO file contains links to the `*.js` files. As the PO file was
-moved to the `.../LC_MESSAGES/` subdirectory, the GUI translation tools
-are unable to show preview of the source code context. I believe it is
-not possible to change the `*.js` files paths in the PO file to keep it
-usable for the GNOME extensions system so the only alternative is to
-translate the PO file before moving if the source code preview is
-necessary. On the other hand, I do not think the source code preview is
-necessary in such a small piece of software with straightforward
-text mapping. Moreover, POedit allows to define relative path to the
-sourcode:
-```
-  Catalogue | Properties... | Source paths | Base path: ../../.. | Ok
-```
-
-Then you can right click on the translation string and select
-References: to the source code.
-
-In menu
-```
-  Catalogue | Properties...
-```
-you can easily fill in other translation parameters (such as encoding,
-translator's e-mail address etc.).
-
-## Update PO file
-Update PO translation file according to the current POT file:
-
-  * On command line:
-
-    ```bash
-    $ msgmerge -U locale/cs_CZ/LC_MESSAGES/TaskBar.po TaskBar.pot
-    ```
-
-  * POedit:
-	```
-    Catalogue | Update from POT File...
-	```
-    
-The GUI translation tool automatically generates MO binary
-representations of the translation when PO file is saved. So running
-```bash
-$ msgfmt locale/cs_CZ/LC_MESSAGES/TaskBar.po -o locale/cs_CZ/LC_MESSAGES/TaskBar.mo
-```
-on the command line is not necessary.
