I am an Italian (Linux) Ardour user and I recently cooperated with the responisible for the Italian translation Emanuele Costantini in order to fix some issues.<br>I noticed that many easily translatable terms were shown in English, and talking with Emanuele we discovered that this was due to a problem with the .po localization file.<br>In short: the Macintosh version of Poedit (which Emanuele uses), for an unknown reason, exports a partially damaged .po file, that, when used on Linux, makes many items not viewable in the translated language.<br>I have managed to export a polished version of it_IT.po, and tested on Ardour3. It works perfectly fine, the full Ardour3 Italian translation is very near now!<br><br>I am attaching the revised it_IT.po file, so that it can be included in SVN repo.<br>[Something still has to be translated, but it is a great step forward.]<br><br>Best regards, and sorry for bothering you about something most of you couldn't care less :)<br><br>- Valerio Orlandini [forum user: interferon]<br><br>p.s. By the way, could it be possible to make translations available for Mac users too? Personally I use only Linux, but I think it could be a way to make Ardour more user-friendly and widely known.</body></html>
