go to locale/<language code>/LC_MESSAGES/and edit the *.po file
you want, like "sv" for Swedish, "es" for Spanish and so on. A new
folder with the language code will have appeared.
Doing a translation / improving an existing one
-----------------------------------------------
Go to locale/<language code>/LC_MESSAGES/and edit the *.po file
you find there by translating each given English string to the equivalent in
the other language. Editing the raw file manually is not necessary -- search
the web and you'll find many open-source graphical .po editors available.
Once you have modified the .po file to add/correct the translation therein,
you must compile it for efficiency. Back in Evennia's root directory, run
django-admin compilemessages
This will create a binary .mo file which is what Evennia will use.
Let us know!

If you did a new translation or improved an old one, please consider sending
us your updated .po file so we can include it with the main Evennia distribution!
