How to add a new translation language?
Hi,
We translated SweetHome3D properties and packaged them into sh3l file format. However, in the translation guide it says to put the sh3l file into .eteks/sweethome3d/languages. However I could not find this folder.
Could anyone please give me a hint that how to test with my own translation?

As file association between SH3L files and Sweet Home 3D is still buggy under Linux, an other way could be to install your SH3L file with command line:
path/to/SweetHome3D path/to/langage.sh3l

Re: How to add a new translation language?
Thank you, it is okay now.
Now, the next question. We are from free software community in Taiwan, and we found this good software. We made our language package. I know that some kind users in China made a traditional Chinese version by converting from simplified Chinese. However, I didn't see it in v2.4 or v2.5 tarball. Also, we'd like to maintain traditional Chinese version ourselves. Can I submit the traditional Chinese translation to you?

Jarod Yang proposed a translation of Sweet Home 3D in traditional chinese, but it has never been integrated in Sweet Home 3D source code. Providing a SH3L file to users reading traditional Chinese should be enough, and you may host it anywhere. I can explain you also how to build a release of Sweet Home 3D that will include your language package. By the way, did you translate also help pages?
