2 document only gives basic instructions for adding another locale to the
3 messaging subsystem: For now the only locale supported is C. To translate to
4 another locale, do the following. Assume the new locale is klingon. Type
6 cp english.xml klingon.xml
8 Edit klingon.xml and translate all the messages. Do not translate
11 <Message name="ThisIsATag">
15 Save the messages to the ImageMagick install directory (the directory
16 where you find the files colors.xml and delegates.xml). Edit locale.xml
17 in the ImageMagick install directory and add the locale alias to the
20 <include locale="kl_gn.IQR-6668-1" file="klingon.xml"/>

24 convert logo: /image.jpg

33 The last step is the most important. E-mail klingon.xml to
34 magick-developers@imagemagick.org with a note that you are contributing your
35 message translation to the ImageMagick project and that it can be redistributed
36 under the ImageMagick copyright.
