    ==Lokalize under Windows==
    Install KDE using kdewin-installer:
    http://www.winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/installer/kdewin-installer-gui-latest.exe
    Leave defaults in all steps except package list.
    In package list select kdesdk (all dependencies will be installed automatically). Complete kdewin-installation process.


    Then run http://youonlylivetwice.info/lokalize/lokalize052009.exe
    ==Compiling Lokalize from KDE trunk== <!--T:12-->
    it will replace vanilla lokalize with latest Lokalize version from trunk.


    Technical details: you install KDE 4.2 in standard way,
    <!--T:13-->
    and then add custom-compiled Lokalize binaries and data
    Install '''libkf5i18n-dev''',  '''libkf5completion-dev''', '''libkf5itemviews-dev''', '''libkf5sonnet-dev''', '''kross-dev''' headers packages and '''libhunspell-dev'''. Then:

    Lokalize
    Lokalize
    Lokalize is the localization tool for KDE and other open source software

    Lokalize is also a general computer-aided translation system (CAT) with which you can translate OpenDocument files (*.odt). Translate-Toolkit is used internally to extract text for translation from .odt to .xliff files and to merge translation back into .odt file.

    Lokalize with French translation of Konqueror


    Compiling Lokalize from KDE trunk

    Install libkf5i18n-dev, libkf5completion-dev, libkf5itemviews-dev, libkf5sonnet-dev, kross-dev headers packages and libhunspell-dev. Then:

    git clone git://anongit.kde.org/lokalize

    or

    git clone [email protected]:lokalize

    and

    cd lokalize
     mkdir build
     cd build
     cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..
     make -j2
     ./src/lokalize

    Tips and tricks

    Search in files

    Translation Memory (TM) now keeps track of where each translation pair came from. So when you want to search for string in the files on disk, you just drag the directory with those files onto translation memory tab (F7) to update TM, wait a minute or two, then type your string into right field of Translation Memory tab, then press Enter.

    Then you click on one of results and this opens appropriate file, on the appropriate entry. When you want to do another search during the same day, you skip the updating step and just type what you're searching for. You can filter TM search results by filename using the field left side of the F7 panel (Filemask).
