This page describes the steps required to translate the AJAX GUI into a new language.

- Under Projects click on Open_Xchange

- To make an entry click on Edit

When having clicked the Commit button a field for the next entry opens. You can also skip entries by clicking the respective button.

Test your translations
All translators assigned to a specific language now also have rights to commit their changes.
If you want to see your translated changes to appear in the nightly built packages, you need to press commit after you are done.
In order to commit your translations, click on Show Editing Functions in the translation menu. You will now see the commit function.
