Installing the application

To install the application, add the repository and install the package using the following commands:

Translations

Extract gettext strings

xgettext --package-name=heic2jpg --package-version=main --msgid-bugs-address=https://github.com/MTRNord/heic2jpg/issues --files-from=po/POTFILES.in --output=po/heic2jpg.pot

Adding a new language and translating

To add a new language and translate the application, follow these steps:

1. Add the language to the LINGUAS file: Open the po/LINGUAS file and add the language code (e.g., fr for French) to the list.

2. Generate the .po file for the new language: Use the msginit command to create a new .po file for the language. For example, to add French translations, run:

   msginit --input=po/heic2jpg.pot --locale=fr --output-file=po/fr.po

3. Translate the strings: Open the newly created po/fr.po file in a text editor or a translation tool like Poedit and translate the strings.

By following these steps, you can add support for new languages and provide translations for the HEIC2JPG application.
