New language

I would like to start new language translation - Estonian.
Browsing the site and forum for while but no way to find out where to start new language translation.
How should I proceed?

hi ottmaaten,

Estonian has now been activated on the translation server: http://translate.musescore.org
Also, your account has now translator rights to translate the content on musescore.org.

First of all, let's get acquainted how to translate content on musescore.org:

Go to http://musescore.org/node/1 which is the teaser post at the top of the front page of musescore.org
Click on the translate/ tab
Scroll down and click on the "add translation" link in the line where you see Estonian
Now, replace all the English text with the Estonian translation but leave the markup in
Once that is done, hit the Submit button at the bottom
You can check out your work at http://musescore.org/et

This is how content on musescore.org is being translated. You can repeat the same steps for any other page, either menu pages or handbook pages.

One more thing, could you tell me what the translation is for: Free music composition & notation software

I noticed that you succeeded translating the teaser page. That was actually a special page. The next ones are easier since they can all be found at the right side in the menu. Click on one of these pages, find the translate tab and add the Estonian translation.

But you can also decide to start translating the software via http://translate.musescore.org

Feel free to ask questions any time!

BTW if you can give me the translation on "Free music composition & notation software", then I can change the slogan. Thx!

Is there Estonian language selection in translation server?

Hey Vinyylimees, thanks a lot for pointing out that Estonian was not available yet on the translation server. I added it now. You also have translation access now on musescore.org. You'll find an extra block in the right sidebar with some translation links.
