Please read [the documentation on the -translation file format][tr-format]. - -Alternatively, Advtrains provides a script named `gui` that can be used -to, among other things, edit translation files. The script requires -Tcl/Tk 8.6, which is provided by most Linux distributions. - -If the translation file for your language does not exist, create it by -copying `template.txt` to `advtrains.XX.tr`, where `XX` is replaced by -the language code. - -Feel free to use the [discussion mailing list][srht-discuss] if you -have any questions regarding localization. - -You can share your `.tr` file directly or [as a patch][gsm] to the [dev -mailing list][srht-devel].

You can use other entries or the -translations in Minetest as a reference. -* Translations do not have to fully correspond to the original text - -they only need to provide the same information. In particular, -translations do not need to have the same linguistical structure as the -original text. -* Replacement sequences (`@1`, `@2`, etc) should not be translated. -* Certain abbreviations or names, such as "Ks" or "Zs 3", should -generally not be translated. - -### (de) German -* Verwenden Sie die neue Rechtschreibung und die Sie-Form. -* Mit der deutschen Tastaturbelegung unter Linux können die -Anführungszeichen „“ mit AltGr-V bzw.
