  1. Define a language identifier for your language according to the rule described above. If translations to your language vary depending on the country, use the {{{_<TERRITORY>}}} suffix, otherwise omit it (i.e. no need to apply the suffix if it represents the only possible country). Let's say that your language code is {{{my_MY}}} for the purpose of this description.

For example, the name {{{VirtualBox_yi.ts}}} would be correct for Yiddish, and {{{qt_sw_TZ.ts}}} for Tanzanian Swahili.

-Existing {{{.ts}}} files are periodically synchronized with the source code by the GUI maintainer at Oracle, either a few weeks before a new product release, or after a big number of language-related changes in the user interface (UI). This synchronization is performed to add new (untranslated) strings used in the UI to {{{.ts}}} files which then need to be translated by contributors. Updates will be announced on ticket:14091.  To translate the newly added text, you should replace the copies of the translation files on your computer with the new ones on the web page, which will contain any work which you have submitted previously.

 == Submitting the translation ==
 
-When you think your translation looks good and ready to be shared with others, you may submit the translation source files you created ({{{VirtualBox_my_MY.ts}}} and {{{qt_my_MY.ts}}}, according to the examples above) by packing it to a .zip archive named {{{VirtualBox_my_MY.zip}}} and attaching to ticket:14091.

 The same thing should be done after you have updated an existing translation, but please be careful with the name of the file you are attaching and make sure you will not replace somebody's else attachment with the same name. Note though that you may and normally should replace a previous attachment of the same name if it was also attached by you and if it contains an outdated version of the same translation file you are attaching now.
 
-'''PLEASE REMEMBER''' that before your translation can be included into the !VirtualBox code base and distribution archives, '''you must allow Oracle Corporation to make use of your contributions'''. The [wiki:Contributor_information] section describes how to do it. Basically, you have two options: either to fill out the [wiki:ICA Oracle Contributor's Agreement] (ICA) and send it to Oracle Corporation or to make the following statement directly in the ticket:14091 comment where you attach your translation source file:
