1.4 Translating Webots to your own language

Webots is partially translated into a number of languages, including French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Polish, and Chinese. However, since Webots is always evolving, including new text or changing existing wording, these translations may not always be complete or accurate. As a user of Webots, you are very welcome to help us fix these incomplete or inaccurate translations. This is actually a very easy process which merely consists of editing a few unicode UTF-8 text files, and optionally processing them with a small utility. Your contribution is likely to be integrated into the upcoming releases of Webots, and your name acknowledged in this user guide.

Even if your language doesn't appear in the current Webots Preferences panel, under the General tab, you can very easily add it. To proceed with the creation of a new locale or the improvement of an existing one, please follow the instructions located in the readme.txt file in the Webots / resources / locale folder. Don't forget to send us your translation files!
