README.development

@@ -2,13 +2,20 @@ You need to have the python-pyqt development packages installed (specifically,
 you need the binary pyuic4). 
 
 To use the development version:
+
 $ git clone git://ichi2.net/libanki
 $ git clone git://ichi2.net/ankiqt
-$ cd libanki
-$ ./tools/translate.sh
-$ cd ../ankiqt
+$ cd ankiqt
 $ ./tools/build_ui.sh
-$ ./tools/translate.sh
+
+The translations are stored in a bazaar repo for integration with launchpad's
+translation services. If you want to use a language other than English:
+
+$ cd ..
+$ bzr clone lp:anki
+$ cd anki
+$ ./update-mos.sh
+$ cd ../ankiqt
 
 And now you're ready to run Anki:
 $ ./anki

-Interface translations for Anki are greatly appreciated.
-
-There are two files you need to create a copy of:
-
-1. ankiqt/ankiqt/locale/messages.pot
-2. libanki/anki/locale/messages.pot
-
-You should copy each file to the locale directory using the name of your
-locale + ".po", for example for Japanese:
-
-ankiqt_ja_JP.po
-libanki_ja_JP.po
-
-Note that the 'messages' files may be out of date. On Unix, you can generate
-the latest copies by going into 'libanki' and 'ankiqt' directory, and running
-tools/translate.sh. You'll need the gettext tools installed. If you don't
-have access to them, send me a mail and I'll put the latest copy of the files
-online.
-
-Once you have finished translating the files, taking care to use the same number
-of \n characters, you can build the files into a 'message catalog' by running
-'translate.sh' again. If you're on Windows, you can use a program called
-'poedit' to generate the files.
-
-If your language was not supported by Anki before, the interface will need to
-be updated too. All you need to do is search for 'supportedLanguages' in
-ankiqt/ankiqt/ui/preferences.py and add your language name and code.
