Faroese translation?

• May 30, 2011 - 09:55

Hi
I´ve just started using Musescore, and I think it´s a wonderfull alternative to other note editors and sequensers...:). I´ve translated several of the functions in the program to Faroese, and would like to start editing them into the program. How can I get started?

Best Regards

Hi spaulieydg,

Great you are stepping up to translate MuseScore to Faroese. It's enabled now on our translation server so you can start right away with translating the software interface. Staring from tomorrow, you will be able to download the mscore_fo.qm file which you can then drop into the locale folder of MuseScore and test it out.

It would also be great if you would be able to translate the few menu pages on musescore.org to Faroese. This will eventually attract more people speaking Faroese via search engines and they can help you out translating. Seems like a good idea?

I just activated http://musescore.org/fo so it's ready for translation. How to get started:

The easiest way to get familiar with the musescore.org translation flow is to start with translating the teaser page:

Go to http://musescore.org/en/node/1
You'll see a tab named 'translate'. Each translatable page on musescore.org has such a tab
Click on it and add your translation for the Faroese language by following the 'add translation' link
Replace all the english text by your translation but leave the special markup in
finally, hit the submit button to save the page

You can now see your work at http://musescore.org/fo

Now, you're ready to translate the other pages, both menu and handbook pages. Just go to http://musescore.org/en, click on the page you wish to translate and hit the translate tab, etc.

If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask.
