<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, Spannish,
Swedish, Russian, Czech, Croatian, Italian, Hungarian, Finnish, German and Japanese, 
and Korean. 
Here is a list of the languages and their current maintainers:

<p>

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>
