<title>Set up translations</title>
</links>
<p>You can make your application translatable into other languages using
<app href="http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/intltool/">intltool</app>
and
<app href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html">gettext</app>.</p>
<p><app>gettext</app> is the framework for extracting strings from a source
file. <app>intltool</app> extracts translatable strings from other files,
such as desktop files and UI files, then merges them back into the XML and
desktop files with the strings from the source code.</p>
<p>You should use <code>ngettext</code> for translation of strings with
plurals.</p>
<p>For more information about translating GNOME projects, see the GNOME

Project</link>.</p>
