Hi Robert (sorry, had the name wrong in the direct email :-( ),
welcome!
So, generally, people start translating from the English version, not any other language version, because that is complete, and all other translations are both incomplete, as well as possibly incorrect.
For Bosnian, I'd rather take Croatian for comparison, which is much closer to Bosnian. If you need German translations for comparison, too - most translation programs support showing translations in other languages for orientation. You should *not* start from a different language's file, but make your own, if your language does not exist yet.
The files to use for your translation and the processes involved are described from https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Interface_translation#Interface_Tra...
Please read, and also check out https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/Translation_information and subpages for more information.
Let us know either here or in the translator chat when you have any questions about what you find there.
Thank you, Maren

Hello,
I would like to do a translation into bosnian. I am using from this link: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/tree/master/po https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/tree/master/po the german version, so the de.po and started translating it in bosnian. https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/tree/master/po
po · master · Inkscape / inkscape · GitLab https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/tree/master/po Inkscape vector image editor gitlab.com
I would like to ask you, if this is ok for you? And if so, if I should send you my first contribution or should I finish it first and then send it to you?
Looking forward to hear from you.
Best regards, Robert Cavlina
