'''Please read these instructions carefully'''
An OSCAR translator is a member of [http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php/Translators the Translations Team], that which is part of ''the OSCAR Team'' and as such has wide access to everything that happens in the private OSCAR Team section Apnea Software Talk (AST) subforum of the ApneaBoard Forum. That means that (''after proving his abilities and dedication'') a translator:* gives '''commitment''' to spending time and effort in translating OSCAR text strings. Though all of us are volunteers, the work is not optional... We expect you to make efforts to fulfill the commitment.
* will get full access to the '''Translations Discussion Forum''' (A Sub-forum of the ''Apnea Software Talk'' Forum) and has to correspond everything concerning "translations" or "languages" in only that forum. Arie Klerk, who is appointed ''Translations Team Coordinator'' is a moderator of this Forum and has to read and act on all threads and posts here. Instructions for new translation sessions (i.e. at the start of a new beta version) will be posted there. Although Arie will send an email to all translators in order to ring a bell, the responses must be posted here.
* will get full access to the website where the '''test- and beta versions''' are published. It must be completely clear that misuse of this access (i.e. by giving away the link to that website, or giving a test version to someone who is not a member of the OSCAR Team) will lead to a complete ban from all of ApneaBoard's Forums. The reason is that these test versions could lead to hazardous situations in hands of people without understanding the implications.
* will use '''Qt Linguist''' as aid to translate and maintain the language file. Thus a uniform workflow makes sure that all languages can be used in OSCAR. Explanation of Qt Linguist can be found later on in this wiki.
* is encouraged to use the '''DeepL program''' for the translation of words and strings (Google translate may be used as a backup, together with other translation programs and sites). DeepL can be downloaded and used for free from https://www.deepl.com/home and works ultimately easily. Both private and business use of the DeepL Translator (free) service are free of charge.
