Translation Team/Add language

New languages can be easily added by following the steps below.

• First download the setup file for your langpack from pootle
  • You can download directly in XO or copy it from your computer to your XO.
• After this open terminal(I prefer virtual terminal by pressing Alt+Ctrl+F2).
• Run the setup file with sudo.
  • For example to add missing Hindi language I'd download http://pootle.sugarlabs.org/langpacks/0.94/hi_lang_pack_v2.sh and run the command sudo hi_lang_pack_v2.sh
• After this open the file /usr/share/sugar/extensions/cpsection/language/model.py for edit.
• Under the function read_all_languages() you'll find some lines like "locales.append(('Pashto','Afganistan','ps_AF.utf8'))
• Add similar line for your language. For Hindi it would be locales.append(('Hindi','India','hi_HI.utf8'))
  • Note that 'Hindi' and 'India' can be anything you want it to be displayed in language drop down menu. 'hi_HI.utf8' must be the correct code for your langpack.
• Now save the file and restart sugar.
• You should find your new language in settings -> Langauge.
