Translations

Drupal uses English by default, but may be translated to many other languages. To install these translations, unzip them and import the .po file through Drupal's administration interface for localization. You will need to turn on the locale module if it's not already enabled. For up to date information on where the translation infrastructure is going, please see the localization server project.

Translation templates for Drupal core

Translators should start by downloading the tarball and translating the files to their language of choice. You can find more information about the process in the Translator's guide (of which this page is also a subsection of).

The translated files should be stored in contrib-cvs/translations/id where id is an RFC 4646 language code. If you don't know your code, ask on the translations mailing list.

You should only put the individual translated files in this directory. A script will generate a merged id.po file. Make sure to fill out the header section of each file and rename them from .pot to .po. Also make sure to start with the file general.po. This file contains strings that appear in more than one place and therefore will give you best results for least effort. It also is required to create the downloadable files. There is also an installer.pot file which will not get merged into the id.po file. This is used by the installer, and should not be imported to the Drupal database.

German translation

Translation of the Drupal interface to German.

Please read the INTRO.txt file from CVS, which contains some translation guidelines.

If you want to make this translation informal ("Du" instead of "Sie"), use the informal add-on package in addition to this one.

The downloads for Drupal 6 below contain the new translation format. For a single .po file, go to http://drupal-de.googlecode.com/files/de.po.zip.

The German translation is maintained at http://code.google.com/p/drupal-de/.
