It's very easy to translate the GUI using poEdit.

poEdit installation

Ubuntu

In a terminal:

sudo apt-get install poedit

Windows

Download poEdit 1.5.2 and install it.

Creation of a translation file

Download gimx.pot.

Start poEdit, and click on "File > New Catalog from POT File...".

Select gimx.pot, fill the fields (Team, Team's email address, Language), validate, and save as <language_code>.po.

To see what your language code is, check this page.

Example for the French language: fr.po.

Translate the messages that are not translated, and save.

Test the translation

Linux

In a terminal:

mkdir -p /usr/share/locale/<language_code>/LC_MESSAGES
msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/<language_code>/LC_MESSAGES/gimx.mo <language_code>.po

Start gimx-serial, gimx-bluetooth, gimx-fpsconfig or gimx-config, the GUI should be translated according to your system language.

Windows

Generate gimx.mo with poEdit (check "File>Preferences>Editor>Automatically compile .mo on save", and save).

Copy-paste gimx.mo to:

  • Windows 32bits: C:\Program Files\GIMX\share\locale\<language_code>\LC_MESSAGES
  • Windows 64bits: C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMX\share\locale\<language_code>\LC_MESSAGES

Start gimx-serial, gimx-fpsconfig or gimx-config, the GUI should be translated according to your system language.
