This page is only applicable for GIMX 0.50 or higher.

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

poEdit installation

In a terminal:

sudo apt-get install poedit

Download poEdit 1.5.2 and install it.

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.

The gimx.pot file will be updated for each release in case new messages need to be translated.

It's possible to update .po files from the gimx.pot file using the "Catalog>Update from POT file" tool in poEdit.

This adds new messages to translate.

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.

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.
