Some parts of the UI were translated but most of it was untranslated. I thought about fixing this problem and started to research about how to get started in translating.</p> <p><img src="screenshot.png" alt="Krita translated UI"></p> <p>While there are many workflows for translating I found Lokalize to be the easiest one of them. I started using <a href="https://apps.kde.org/en/lokalize">Lokalize</a> &amp; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Subversion">svn</a> to work on Hindi translations for KDE. The <a href="https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/lokalize/lokalize/index.html">Lokalize handbook</a> is a good resource, but I felt that I needed more simplified step-by-step guide to set up the work environment and get started. After setting it up for my self, I am sharing it here so that any new Lokalize &amp; svn user will find it easy. This post covers the process in step by step to help others translate Krita or any of the KDE apps in their local language and contribute to the KDE translation team. This guide is made for Linux users, but you can use it for other platforms too except for the step where we install the software. I plan to update these instructions in future to cover how to do this on Windows platform too. So here it goes.</p>
