Changes

* Phrases that contain variables, for example, "The 25 files selected will take 63 seconds to process", where the two numbers are inserted programmatically at run-time may need to be reworded because in a different language the word order and therefore the placement of the variables may have to change.

The Qt translation tools provide clear and simple solutions to these issues.

= Setting up QtLinguist =

Qt Linguist is a compact standalone download as Windows Installer or OSX disk image.You can find the latest version here: [http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/Qt+Linguist+Download?content=89360]. The latest version 4.6.0 dates from end of 2009.

After installing and starting the program one can just open the provided language template (like: Svenska.se.ts). The window then shows:[[File:Screenshot_2014-07-14_21.30.27.png|link=http://sleepyhead.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/]]

In the left panel (under ''Context'') you see the subjects of the program, next to that the items (''Strings'') that can be translated. Below this is the place to do the translation.

* ''Phrases and guesses'' will be filled in due course while translating similar items. It helps very much in making translations consistent, i.e. use the same word again for an expression.

* Under ''Warnings'' one will see a remark when the program thinks that something goes wrong. That can be a help too.

= Tips and tricks =

* step through the items one by one (''Next unfinished item'') and when all is done, go through them again and accept them (green checkmark and arrow): Only after having seen the whole list, one can decide on consistency of the used words.

* mind the keyboard accelerators (with the &). Only when all items have passed, one can know which letters can be used as unique accelerators.
