    33This document describes how users without a strong technical background in software engineering can contribute translations to other languages. The process is very straightforward and based on the easy to use [http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/linguist-manual-3.html Qt Linguist] tool which is a part of the Qt Toolkit version 3.

    5 Translation is possible for all language, including languages with non-latin alphabets. The process requires you to perform an initial translation which you then have to keep up to date as !VirtualBox evolves. The original language is English which -- together with German -- is handled by !InnoTek. The Qt Linguist tool will also assist you in finding where your translation has to be updated for a new release of !VirtualBox.
