[eboard-devel] translate message with gettext into Japanese

[IKEDA K. <ik...@rg...>]

Hi,

Eboard is great chess application.

So I want to translate messages into Japanese with gettext.
It seems eboard.hemp is a template and witten in windows-1252.

Japanese code (EUC-JP) cannot exist with windows-1252 in one plain text,
so I must tranlate it.

Gettext info said the following:

     Because the PO files must be portable to operating systems with
     less advanced internationalization facilities, the character
     encodings that can be used are limited to those supported by both
     GNU `libc' and GNU `libiconv'. These are: `ASCII', `ISO-8859-1',
     `ISO-8859-2', `ISO-8859-3', `ISO-8859-4', `ISO-8859-5',
     `ISO-8859-6', `ISO-8859-7', `ISO-8859-8', `ISO-8859-9',
     `ISO-8859-13', `ISO-8859-14', `ISO-8859-15', `KOI8-R', `KOI8-U',
     `KOI8-T', `CP850', `CP866', `CP874', `CP932', `CP949', `CP950',
     `CP1250', `CP1251', `CP1252', `CP1253', `CP1254', `CP1255',
     `CP1256', `CP1257', `GB2312', `EUC-JP', `EUC-KR', `EUC-TW',
     `BIG5', `BIG5-HKSCS', `GBK', `GB18030', `SHIFT_JIS', `JOHAB',
     `TIS-620', `VISCII', `GEORGIAN-PS', `UTF-8'.

Could tell me how to translate windows-1252 into ISO-* or any good code.

Do all messages have to translate ?

I use Vine Linux 2.6, a Linux distribution with a customized
Japanese environment.

The version of gettext is 0.11.5.

Sorry my English.
Thanks.
