Translating a Drupal Site

We are in the process of translating www.junkmail.co.za (going into beta on 1 April). Here is a copy of a mail I sent with some info. I'll update this article as I learn more.

Multi-language Site
-------------------

Documentation on translation:
http://drupal.org/node/417180

Switched on the following modules

Locale - http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/locale
- Add a language of your choice.
- Install the language package as explained here http://drupal.org/node/21145

Content Translation http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/translation-
- Required by Internationalization module
- Will probably not need this much
- Can be useful to translate pages such as help etc.

Translation extractor - http://drupal.org/project/potx
- This module extracts the .po files (the files with the strings to extract)
- Extract at http://junkmail.telamenta.com/admin/build/translate/extract
- PO files can be edited with a PO editor, example - http://www.poedit.net/

Internationalization - http://drupal.org/node/133977
- Will be used to translate vocabulary etc.

Localization Project - http://localize.drupal.org
--------------------

You can do translations here but the interface sucks. Better to do the translations as above and import them.
