Japanese translation

[Seiryu]

Guys, if people minded about japanese peoples playing. Well in there are japanese people playing at it. But they're not happy about the translation ( not real script, unreadable caracters, ...). So now I propose one thing.
With my japanese blood I would like to translate the files!

And yes by the way I'm half french and half japanese. But I've got great skills in japanese.

The easiest thing for you to do would be to go to http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/JapaneseTranslation and simply mail the maintainer. He will tell you what you can do and how it works. I am sure your help is welcome.

Do I have to download the tools?

Do I have to download the tools?

The strings to translate are in the PO files. You need some editor for PO files. (Unless you wish to edit them in Notepad. It is possible, but not recommended.)

This is an example of PO file:
wesnoth/ja.po

I am translator for Slovak language, and I use "poEdit".

An editor able to handle UTF-8 encoding, I guess.

And where do I find this "poEdit" program?

Try something like http://www.poedit.org.
