README.langpack

Since the second beta version of gq 0.7.0 there is a separate
distribution of I18N message catalogs. These "langpacks" have been
introduced for the following reasons:

* langpacks can be build outside the gq release cycle (which sometimes
  tends to be rather long)
* People not interested in I18N messages can forget about them
* Simpler integration for new translations. No need to patch configure.in
* Translators may build their own language packs
  (make langpack-dist)

How to use a langpack
---------------------

1.) Download gq
2.) Unpack the gq distribution

      tar -xzf gq-0.7.0.tar.gz

3.) Download a language pack matching the version of gq
4.) Put the downloaded language pack into the top directory of gq

      mv gq-0.7.0-langpack-1.tar.gz gq-0.7.0

5.) Unpack the language pack - This will produce a directory named something
    like gq-0.7.0-langpack-1

      tar -xzf gq-0.7.0-langpack-1.tar.gz

6.) run the langpack script:

      gq-0.7.0-langpack-1/langpack .

7.) configure + make gq as usual


Currently the following languages are part of the language pack:
