Hello,

I've downloaded FDM 6, and I see, that I have to update translation. However, on gitHub I see the old .po file, and in the new FDM some phrases are still not translated. What should I do to update my translation to Ukrainian?

Of course, it's possible. What I was talking about is that it's a thing that can be forgotten to do or done incorrectly.
It wasn't me who created unclear/incomplete readme.md.

And I'm still waiting for source files of FDM 3.9.7 last build. I'm sorry to urge you.

Currently only FDM 6 is in development, and the devs just don't care about older FDM versions. You can wait another year for updating installers or download updated *.qm lang files from my own archive on OneDrive:

Hello,
This is not a very good way because each language at least has its own plural forms, and this is an important thing...

As far as I know, after selecting proper language you can add proper plural forms. Did I miss something?

BTW. Where are FDM5 installers with newly added/updated languages files?

Read more carefully, please. You can download ANY new po file in ANY language, it always contains source English strings.
For example, you can download freshly updated French file fdm_fr.po, which seems to be the most complete one. Just compare: 2893 lines (2217 sloc) in French verson versus 2857 lines (2180 sloc) in Polish fdm_pl.po.

Some more notes:
1. There are *.po files for FDM 5.x only on github, FDM 6 isn't localized yet.
2. You may wait a very long time with your pull request, so if you want to publish your translation immediately, you can send it also to me. I will convert it to needed format and put it in my FDM utils repository.

Hello everybody.

I'm ready to translate FDM to catalan language. We're about 11M catalan speakers in the world, and as a nation we are fond of quality tech.

I'm starting by September 1st. Any help will be deeply appreciated.

Best regards, :D

FDM in 3.9.5 version implemented extended Unicode support which allows to create filenames in any language and to create FDM versions in any language (f.e. Sinhala or Georgian).

We kindly ask all the users who helped us translate FDM from English to their native languages - to convert the language files they worked on to Unicode version. To do this, please open your language file in Windows Notepad and navigate to File - Save As ... . Then choose the Unicode format. Once saved - please send it to us the usual way. Thank you in advance! :)

FDM 3.x currently supports both UTF-8 (Windows codepage 65001) and UTF-16LE (Windows codepage 1200) formats of language files.
But we prefer for the language files to be in UTF-16LE format ("Unicode" format in Windows Notepad, "UCS-2 Little Endian" in some other editors).
