Does that mean you're volunteering for fr?

OK. In case you're missing something, here goes some bootstrap instructions:

1) Edit the "qjackctl.pro.in" file, adding the following line:

   TRANSLATIONS += qjackctl_fr.ts

2) Run ./configure && make as usual.

3) Now that you have a proper "qjackctl.pro" file, you can start building
   your "qjackctl_fr.ts" source translation. Just enter:

   lupdate -verbose qjackctl.pro

   That will create the .ts file for you, on the first time its ran.

4) Start translation every string you may find, with:

   linguist qjackctl_fr.ts

   That may take all night ;)

5) When finished, you're ready to produce the final "qjackctl_fr.tm":

   lrelease -verbose qjackctl.pro

6) To make it permanent, move/copy the .tm file into qjackctl's
   installation directory (n.b. prefix=/usr/local, ymmv) :

   mkdir -p ${prefix}/share/locale
   cp qjackctl_fr.tm ${prefix}/share/locale

7) To test the real-thing(tm) you have to set your environment properly,
   if isn't already:

   export LANG=fr

   Then just run qjackctl as usual, and see the glory of a new french
   world :)


Enjoy.
