Translating wxMaxima to a new language

In order to translate wxMaxima to a entirely new language two things have to be done:

• Translate the .pot files to your language. If you don't want to translate everything in one go that is completely fine: Quality is more important than quantity here and getmessage is able to work with a partially-translated program just fine; If the .pot files in the repository change whilst translation is
• ongoing that is not the end of the world, neither: msgmerge will be able to sort this out, too.
• For Linux desktop integration additionally data/io.github.wxmaxima_developers.wxMaxima.desktop needs to be equipped with a translation.

WxMaxima also uses translations of the wxWidgets framework (e.g. for standard dialogs).

Improving an existing translation

In order to improve an existing translation just edit the according .po file. Any help is always welcome.
