The support of a maximal number of foreign languages is another major
challenge in which your help would be appreciated. Making the translations
to support a new language usually requires several days of work. We
therefore recommend you to find some friends or colleagues who are willing
to help you.
The procedure for adding a new language is as follows
<\itemize>
<item>You copy the file <verbatim|english-new.scm> to
<verbatim|english-<em|yourlanguage>.dic> in <verbatim|langs/natural/dic>
and fill out the corresponding translations. You may want to use Andrey
Grozin's dictionary tool at
<\verbatim>
\ \ \ \ https://www.texmacs.org/Data/dictool.py.gz
</verbatim>
In order to use it, may sure that Python is installed on your system,
download the file, gunzip it, make it executable and run it.
<item>You tell me about any special typographical rules in your language
and handy keystrokes for producing special characters.
<item>I take care of the hyphenation and typographical issues, but you
test them.
<item>If you have enough time, you may also consider the translation of
(part of) the existing documentation.
</itemize>
Of course, the support for languages get out of date each time that new
features are added to <TeXmacs>. For this reason, we also maintain a file
<verbatim|miss-english-<em|yourlanguage>.dic> with all missing translation
for your language, once that it has been added. Please do not hesitate to
send inclomplete versions of <verbatim|english-<em|yourlanguage>.dic> or
<verbatim|miss-english-<em|yourlanguage>.dic>; someone else may be willing
to complete them.
