Limited translation options

[gbWilly <gbWilly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have done multiple projects in the past that has translations in several languages.

But, up until today, I never realized that there is a limit in the languages that you can translate to in Gambas. I Guess I was lucky always picking the available languages.

For one of my projects I wanted to add a short Slovak translations (I don't speak Slovak BTW), but it turned out you can't add a Slovak translation and there are many more language missing.

My question:

Would an option to add a new language to the list yourself maybe be possible?
If you know the locale code of the language to translate, all you need is a new .po file prefixed with said local code. For example: sk_SK.UTF-8 is the locale code used on Linux for Slovak, so a sk.po would be needed.

On another note:

I guess if I just add the proper sk.po file in the lang folder of the project it will work.

At least that is what I am going to try,  but maybe someone has a straight forward answer that saves me the time of trial and error.
