Translating:Offline/ps

This is a help page for users who want to work on translations offline.

In Special:Translate you can export a message group to a .po/gettext file, and work on that offline. You can upload or import your translations if you have "offline translator rights" (you can make a request for those after you have proven to be a reliable online translator). For first time submissions, please compress your gettext file and e-mail it to "translatewiki AT translatewiki DOT net" referencing your translatewiki.net user name. Your first submission will be imported by a staff member.

For other technical suggestions, warnings and notes about usage of the offline translation feature, please see the documentation.

Clicking a link below will give you a .po/gettext file download for your language as set in Special:Preferences. This file has a UTF-8 encoding.
