+<h3>Support for multiple languages</h3>
+
+Doxygen has support for multiple languages. This means that the text fragments that
+doxygen generates can changed into languages other than English
+(the default) at configuration time.
+<p>
+Currently, supported languages are English, French, Czech, Dutch,
+Swedish, Italian, German and Japanese. A number
+of people have volunteered to add support for other languages as well.
+Here is a list of the languages and their current maintainers:

+Most people on the list have indicated that they were also busy
+doing other things, so if you want to help to speed things up please
+let them (or me) know.
+
+If you want to add support for a language that is not yet listed
+please see the next section.
+
+<h3>Language HOWTO</h3>
+
+This short HOWTO explains how to add support for a new language to Doxygen:
+
+Just follow these steps:
+<ol>
+<li>Tell me for which language you want to add support. If no one else
+ is already working on support for that language, you will be
+ assigned as the maintainer for the language.
+<li>Create a copy of translator_nl.h and name it
+ translator_<your_2_letter_counter_code>.h
+ I'll use xx in the rest of this document.
+<li>Edit language.cpp:
+ Add a
+\verbatim
+#include<translator_xx.h>
+\endverbatim
+ in <code>setTranslator()</code> add
+\verbatim
+ else if (L_EQUAL("your_language_name"))
+ {
+ theTranslator = new TranslatorYourLanguage;
+ }
+\endverbatim
+ after the <code>if { ... }</code>
+<li>Edit doxygen.pro and add \c translator_xx.h to
+ the \c HEADERS line in the file doxygen.pro.
+<li>Edit <code>translator_xx.h</code>:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Rename <code>TRANSLATOR_NL_H</code> to <code>TRANSLATOR_XX_H</code> twice.
+ <li>Rename TranslatorDutch to TranslatorYourLanguage
+ <li>In the member <code>latexBabelPackage()</code> change "dutch" into the name of the
+ latex package that adds support for your language.
+ <li>Edit all the strings that are returned by the members that start
+ with tr.
+ Look at the corresponding member in translator.h for the english text
+ that is returned and translate that into your language.
+ Try to match punctuation and capitals!
+ To enter special characters (with accents) you can:
+ <ul>
+ <li> Enter them directly if your keyboard supports that and you are
+ using a Latin-1 font.
+ Doxygen will translate the characters to proper Latex and
+ leave the Html and man output for what it is.
+ <li> Use html codes like \&auml; for an a with an umlaut (i.e. &auml;).
+ See the HTML specification for the codes.
+ </ul>
+ </ul>
+<li>Recompile everything (do this from the root of the distribution,
+ because the Makefile.dox* have to be regenerated!)
+<li>Now you can use <code>OUTPUT_LANGUAGE = your_language_name</code>
+ in the config file to generate output in your language.
+<li>Send <code>translator_xx.h</code> or a <code>diff -u</code> of the changes
+ to me so I can add it to doxygen.
+</ol>
