-To create a new or update an existing translation, you will need the [http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/linguist-manual.html Qt Linguist tool], to edit {{{.ts}}} files. In order to get Qt Linguist, download the latest 4.x.x version of the Open Source Edition of the Qt toolkit for C++ for your platform from the [http://qt.nokia.com/downloads Nokia web site]. Alternatively, you can try to download the toolkit sources and compile them yourself to get a Qt Linguist application. Please note that we will not accept translation files processed by Qt Linguist version 3 (part of Qt Toolkit 3.x.x) because the format of language files is incompatible with Qt4.

 Note that the full !VirtualBox source code is '''not''' necessary to perform a translation or to test it. See below for detailed instructions.

  1. '''Read''' the [http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/linguist-manual.html Qt Linguist manual] to get general information about translating Qt applications. Pay special attention to understanding the status of translatable items (unfinished, obsolete).
 
- 2. Properly translate '''Plural Forms'''. !VirtualBox may contain sentences which include {{{%n}}} markers. This marker is used when numbers could be included either in a singular or plural variant. The Qt translation mechanism allows you to translate this one sentence to different variants to let the result look more natural. For more information on this topic see [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qq/qq19-plurals.html Plural Form(s) in Translation(s)].

  3. '''Preserve spaces''' around (and between) words if they are used for justification purposes. Examples of such items are category names in the global and VM settings dialogs where leading and trailing space characters serve as horizontal item margins. Also, a leading space in the translatable item is often used as a separator from the preceding word that will appear after string concatenation, and therefore needs to be preserved.
