Hi Rik
I have finally managed to build it. It is up and running
now(4.3.0+) on linux mint 18 Kde. How do I proceed now?
By the way do you have any idea where I am supposed to ask the
question here at the bottom http://wiki.octave.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Octave+for+Debian+systems&type=signup.
Ozgur,
The first step is that Octave needs to have a blank Turkish
translation file in the directory libgui/languages. The name of the
file should be tr_TR.ts which indicates the Turkish language with
the country specific translation of Turkey. I've added Torsten to
this e-mail as he has the most experience setting up the translation
files.
Once the blank file is set up you will need to update your Mercurial
archive with 'hg pull' and then you can begin translating. The
tr_TR.ts file is just a text file so you can add the translations
with any text editor. However, there is also specialized software
that can make this easier. There is a list of translators in the
file libgui/languages/translators along with e-mails. I hope that
Torsten or one of the translators who follows the
Octave-Maintainer's list can offer some advice on how they like to
do translation.

Hello,
I have gone virtually full open-source recently either on my
phone and my PC. I loved the experience it has granted to
me. Since I study science, matlab is quite fundamental to
my major. Thus, contributing to Octave has a great incentive
for me. I am learning C currently. I do not think I am at
the stage to contribute code. However, if I can, I want to
enter open-source world early so that I warm up before
serious code contribution.
I speak English in advanced level, Spanish in intermediate
level, and Turkish as native one and I have realized Octave
does not support Turkish. If you consider making Octave more
international, I am eager to help.
Ozgur,
One of the easiest ways to contribute would be to add Turkish
language translations for the GUI. The first step, before you
can contribute to any part of the project, is to make sure that
you can download the latest development source code from our
Mercurial repository and build a local copy of Octave. You
might start with the instructions here (https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/get-involved.html),
but perhaps there are more complete instructions elsewhere that
someone will point you to.
Best regards,
Rik
