The basic documentation was meant for KDE 3.2, the corrections are meant for KBabel 1.11.1 of KDE 3.5.1. &kbabel; is an advanced and easy to use PO file (&GNU; gettext message catalogs) editor. It has many features, that make it easy to edit and manage your PO files. This includes full navigation capabilities, extensive editing functionality, search functions, syntax checking and statistics function. &catalogmanager; is a file manager view, which helps you keep an overview over your PO files. &kbabeldict; allows you to translate any text using &kbabel; capabilities for automated translation. The &kbabel; suite will help you to translate quickly and also to keep translations consistent. With the &kde; project growing continuously, the number of PO messages is over 47000 at the time of writing this documentation (plus another 20000 messages used for translating application documentation). There is a need to stay organized and consistent across all translations. &using; &catman; &kbabeldictchapter; &dictionaries; &preferences; &menu; &kbabelfaq; Credits and License &kbabel; Program Copyright © 1999-2000 &Matthias.Kiefer; &Matthias.Kiefer.mail; Contributors: &Thomas.Diehl; &Thomas.Diehl.mail; &Stephan.Kulow; &Stephan.Kulow.mail; Documentation Copyright © 2000 &Claudiu.Costin; &Claudiu.Costin.mail; and &Matthias.Kiefer; &Matthias.Kiefer.mail; Update for &kde; 3.0 Copyright © 2002 &Stanislav.Visnovsky; &Stanislav.Visnovsky.mail; Update for &kde; 3.5.1 Copyright © 2005 Nicolas Goutte goutte@kde.org &underFDL; &underGPL; &glossary; Mailing List For KBabel There is a mailing list for KBabel named kbabel.
