 Translation is possible for all languages, 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 the !VirtualBox team. The Qt Linguist tool will also assist you in finding where your translation has to be updated for a new release of !VirtualBox.

 This section contains important notes about translating the !VirtualBox product.

- 2. Properly translate '''Plural Forms'''. !VirtualBox may contain sentences which include {{{%n}}} markers. This marker is used when numbers could be included either in a singular or plural variant. The Qt translation mechanism allows you to translate this one sentence to different variants to let the result look more natural. For more information on this topic see [http://doc.trolltech.com/qq/qq19-plurals.html Plural Form(s) in Translation(s)].

  3. '''Preserve spaces''' around (and between) words if they are used for justification purposes. Examples of such items are category names in the global and VM settings dialogs where leading and trailing space characters serve as horizontal item margins. Also, a leading space in the translatable item is often used as a separator from the preceding word that will appear after string concatenation, and therefore needs to be preserved.
