[Chandler-dev] Re: need help

[Brian Kirsch]

Hi Andreas,
Chandler releases ship with a stripped down version of Python to keep  
the file download size as small as possible.
As a result you will need to get the Chandler source code from the  
SVN repository and build Chandler using the
make utility in order create a translation egg.

This process is outlined in the Chandler Localization Project web page.

http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/LocalizationProject

If getting and building the source proves a challenge, you can email  
me your
complete German translation and I can build an egg for you and email
it back to you for testing.

However, building Chandler using pre-built binaries is a fairly  
simple process.

Thanks for all your help.

We are looking forward to a German translation,
Brian
