Where and how can I submit translations

abby is still under heavy development. This means that some of the translatable strings are still likely to change. We suggest waiting awhile longer before you submit your translation as we are inclined to decline adding them to the project until it is mature enough.

We will update this section of the FAQ when we feel the project has matured enough to add additional translations.

Where is the development repository

We use repo.or.cz git hosting service. You can get the latest development code with:

git clone git://repo.or.cz/abby.git
