You can find information about gettext at http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettext The easiest way to start a translation is to get the relevant .pot file from the gretl page at the "GNU Translation Project" site http://translationproject.org/domain/gretl.html and send the (even partially) translated el.po file to Allin Cottrell, who will incorporate it into the future versions of the program. Later, if you decide to maintain the greek translation on a regular basis, you can join the GNU Translation Project (an alternative option is to get access to the gretl CVS, as explained on the gretl home page on SourceForge). For the moment, I suggest you to: - get in touch with the Greek GNU translation team at http://translationproject.org/team/el.html who will be a useful guidance for general translation issues and the TP functioning. - subscribe to the gretl-users and gretl-devel mailing lists at http://gretl.sourceforge.net/lists.html who will be useful for all gretl-related questions Hope this helps!
