3NF Localization How-to


How to contribute?
------------------
1. Download the original English property file from the 3NF website (http://www.3nf.com)
2. Edit the property file with any any text-editor (even Notepad will do)
3. Send back the translated property file to support@3nf.com. Include at least with the
   following information:
   - the precise description of the language in English (e.g. "Traditional Chinese")
   - translator's name and email address (it will be listed under "Contributors" in 
     the about-box of the application and on 3NF website)
4. That's it.


How to translate?
-----------------
- don't translate comments
- don't translate the text in the left side (key string)
- translate only the text in the right side (value string)
- don't destroy the original formatting (don't remove empty lines or comments)
- don't remove the following special tags
  - escape sequences prefixed by back-slash character (e.g. \n)
  - {0}, {1}, etc. (these will be replaced by parameters)


Sample translation
------------------

#
# This is a comment
#
firstText=This is\nthe first text.
parametric=A parameter will come here: {0}.

...should be translated to...

#
# This is a comment
#
firstText=Das ist\nder erste Text.
parametric=Ein Parameter kommt hier: {0}.
