I want to work on translating Inkscape into Amharic. Can you please tell me what I need to do?

Hi Yoseph,
that's cool that you want to translate Inkscape into Amharic!
It looks like you've successfully subscribed to the mailing list, and I've also seen that you have found our translation server.
The current focus of translations is the 'master' (i.e. development) branch, as it is unlikely that there will be another release in the 1.4.x series.
I've started putting together more up-to-date instructions here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/contributors-guide/-/tree/translat... (not ready yet, but perhaps it can help).
I'd suggest you take a look into those .md files and let us know about any questions that come up.
Thanks! Kind Regards Maren

Hi Yoseph. UI translation these days is mostly done through https://translate.inkscape.org/ Otherwise have you gone through https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/Translation_information ? Let us know if you have any further difficulties. On 15/06/2026 at 00:06, ዮሴፍ ፈለቀ yosephfeleke22@gmail.com wrote: I want to work on translating Inkscape into Amharic.

Hi Maren and Duarte,
Thanks so much for the warm welcome and for pointing me in the right direction!
I will look through the documentation links you shared and log into the translation server to check out the master branch. I'll let you know if I run into any questions as I get started.

I have a quick question regarding the workflow.
I prefer not to do the translations directly inside the Weblate web interface, so I went to the server and downloaded a ZIP file containing the .po files to work on them locally. However, looking at the files has left me a bit confused.
Could you please guide me on: What the best practice is for working on these .po files locally? How I can properly test the translations to see how they look inside Inkscape on my machine?
