sure. it is really easy. the internationalization (i18n) in WePS has
been done with gettext. So the first thing you need installed in your
system is gettext (this doesn't work in windows systems).

if you have gettext installed (most systems have it) then you need to
setup locales for italian (if you have an italian system it would
probably have been done when you installed it).

Steps to translate WePS
-----------------------

1. create directory inside the locale/. the directory must be called
   like you country code. for example, for catalan, the directory is
   called: "ca_ES" that is, the catalan language in spanish country. For
   italian i think it must be "it_IT" but i'm not sure.

2. create another directory inside you "it_IT". call it LC_MESSAGES.

3. copy weps.po inside the LC_MESSAGES directory. you can find weps.po
   inside the locale/scripts directory.

4. edit your weps.po and fill the spaces with your transaltion. you must
   keep the english message, you just need to fill the empty spaces. you
   can also edit your name in the top of the weps.po. just take a look
   at it, it's really easy.

5. once you have finished the translation. go to  locale/scripts and
   run:      ./compilepo it_IT
   this will generate a weps.mo file in your translation directory.

6. edit the inc/languages.php and add the italian language to the
   list. this list is the one that is shown in the web site.

7. you can edit inc/config.php and change the variable LANG to your
   new added language. this will take the italian language as the
   default language for WePS.


that's it. remember to run compilepo each time you change anything to
your weps.po.

if you have any problem you just need to report them.
