Help translate iFreeBudget

You can help translate iFreeBudget to other languages. You will get a warm feeling for helping out an open-source project and I will include your name in credits. :-)

Use the following procedure if you want to help in translation effort.
Download the file mjrz.po from
http://ifreebudget.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ifreebudget/FinanceManager-Dev/po/

This file will have sections like: 
#: ../net/mjrz/fm/SetupWizard.java:93  
79 msgid "3. Select location"  
80 msgstr "3. Elegir país"
You must translate the  "79 msgid "3. Select location" string to your language.
In this example, this string has been translated into catalan as "80 msgstr "3. Elegir país"  

This translation can be done by manually editing the file or using a graphical front end.
poedit is a good graphical tool and is highly recommented.
You can download poedit from  http://www.poedit.net/download.php 
Please email me the translated file so I can include in the distribution. 
Please email if you have any questions.
