Translating MuseScore

The translation server plays the central role in localizing MuseScore. It's the translation server which is in charge of committing the translations to the code repository and the translation server only.

Help translating

Translating MuseScore is done via the web interface of the translation server at http://translate.musescore.org. This is done collaboratively by translating string per string. In the future it will also be possible to import a complete po file.

Technical workflow

  • The translation server will hold a release for each stable MuseScore version. These are never updated. The trunk on the other hand is checked out on daily basis.
  • For each release and language, there will be a qm file available so the latest version can be tested locally by download the qm file into the MuseScore directory.
  • At regular times, the ts files of the trunk release will be committed to the repository.
