Welcome to the translation of the Freetype v.1 library!
![](/@@/translation-newline)
This message is not really part of the library (it is bracketed by
#if 0 / #endif), but is really intended to be the first one in the .po
![](/@@/translation-newline)
file, and the first one that a new translator should see, to give hints.
![](/@@/translation-newline)
First, while this .po might seems big, the real interesting part of it
![](/@@/translation-newline)
is only the messages in this file, lib/extend/ftxerr18.c. The other
![](/@@/translation-newline)
messages are part of the demonstration programs, and are more intended
![](/@@/translation-newline)
to help grasping how to use i18n with the Freetype library. So the real
![](/@@/translation-newline)
work is the about 65 first ones. Unfortunately they are the harder ones!
![](/@@/translation-newline)
A difficulty is that there are some specialized vocabulary, about
![](/@@/translation-newline)
``faces'', ``glyph'' and similar things. These are typographical things,
![](/@@/translation-newline)
and this should be researched before attempting to translate the whole
![](/@@/translation-newline)
thing. A quick look across the TrueType documentation might help to
![](/@@/translation-newline)
understand many things, too.
![](/@@/translation-newline)
Best wiches for your translation!
