You will need [Poedit](http://www.poedit.net/download.php) editor to update, edit and create your translation files comfortably. In general, you can handle translations also without it: all can be done using gettext tools and your favorite plain text editor only. This guide, however, describes editing with Poedit. If you want to use gettext only, pls refer to xgettext manual page to update po files from sources (see also how it is used by Poedit below) and use msgunfmt tool to compile .mo files manually.

You need to know, that translation phrases are stored in **".po"** files (for example: `locale/pl_PL.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/pl_PL.utf8.po`), which are then complied in **".mo"** files using **msgfmt** gettext tool or by Poedit, which will run msgfmt for you in background.

You can also check "project into" tab to be sure, that "Language" is set correctly (this will allow you to spell check your translation).

Once you have set your path correctly, you are able to update phrases from sources. Press "Update catalog - synchronize it with sources" button or go to "Catalog"->"Update from sources" menu.
As a result you will see confirmation popup with two tabs: "New strings" and "Obsolete strings". Pls review and accept changes (or press "Undo" if you see too many obsolete strings, as Poedit will remove them all - in this case please make sure all previous steps are performed w/o errors).

You are now almost done.
### 7. Clear cache again
This step may be required if your web server runs php scripts in name of, say, www user (i.e. Apache with mod_php, not cgi).
##To create new translation
Please simple create appropriate directories in locale folder and perform all steps, described above. Instead of opening an existing file just create new one.
You just have to copy the folder corresponding to the language you want to translate from, change language in the project settings and for the folder and files names. Then start replacing all existing translations with your own.
