Aha, yes, you're plain right: translations will be on call to be included way later, when it all gets a promotion to beta level ;) otherwise I and all translators will be playing catch up which is not my preferred game.

However, if you know how to, you can start doing your own (unofficial) translation right now: just add the following line to qtractor.pro file:

build as usual and after that, run:

you should have a scratch qtractor_fr.ts under current directory. Now's time to start doing your real translation work, with the help of linguist.

When done or enough tired, you can generate the final binary translation file:

which should be called qtractor_fr.qm. This is the one file that you should move to under /prefix/share/locale to try it out from your environment (LANG=fr) when running /prefix/bin/qtractor of course.

Keep qtractor_fr.ts in a safe place, though. Besides you sure want to keep it handy while refining your translation job cycle (lupdate -> linguist -> lrelease -> test), you'll never know how soon or when I'll be asking for it to be included in an official release ;)

Cheers
