2.5 Installing Translations for Particular Programs
===================================================
Languages are not equally well supported in all packages using GNU
‘gettext’, and more translations are added over time. Usually, you use
the translations that are shipped with the operating system or with
particular packages that you install afterwards. But you can also
install newer localizations directly. For doing this, you will need an
understanding where each localization file is stored on the file system.
For programs that participate in the Translation Project, you can
start looking for translations here:
<https://translationproject.org/team/index.html>.
For programs that are part of the KDE project, the starting point is:
<https://l10n.kde.org/>.
For programs that are part of the GNOME project, the starting point
is: <https://wiki.gnome.org/TranslationProject>.
For other programs, you may check whether the program’s source code
package contains some ‘LL.po’ files; often they are kept together in a
directory called ‘po/’. Each ‘LL.po’ file contains the message
translations for the language whose abbreviation of LL.
