    Download Here: messages.pot
  3. Open the Poedit software you installed. Go to File > New Catalog from POT File
  4. Select the messages.pot file that you saved in step 2. This will open a "Settings" window

If you have translated PF.net for us before...

If you've translated PF.net for us already, you should have a .po file saved to your computer from previous translations. If you do NOT have this file, either contact us or start at step 1 above.

Instructions:
  1. You need to save our latest messages.pot file to your computer so you can update the translations. To do so, please RIGHT CLICK on the link below and go to SAVE AS.
    Download Here: messages.pot
  2. Right Click and go to Save As for your language file from below, and Open it in the PoEdit software.

  3. Go to Catalog > Update from POT File
  4. Browse to find the messages.pot file you downloaded in Step 1 and select Update. This will add all the untranslated phrases to your .po file without replacing all those you already translated before.
  5. Go through and translate any BLANK or FUZZY phrases. A Fuzzy phrase will show up in yellow, and you need to either mark it as resolved or re-translate the phrase so it is correct. Do this for the entire list, but IGNORE {variables}, & and © symbols.
  6. Once the entire file is translated, go to File > Save. This will update your local language file.
  7. Email us the SPANISH.po file (or whatever you named it) so we can put it on the website.
    Make sure you keep the .po file because you will use it for future translations as well.
