How to make translators' job easier (українською)

Note: this page is outdated and the only reason it is available is to prevent link rot. The new version is available here: Translators are not programmers!

Most translators are not programmers, so this, in my opinion, makes it easier for them to contribute to your software projects:

1. Use gettext (or similar solutions). This way, you take into account plural rules that differ from those of the source language (for most projects, this is English);
2. Add comments to the strings. It is very frustrating when you have to guess where a given string occurs and how to translate it correctly;
3. Use a translation management system. I recommend using Weblate because it is popular among free software projects and is free software itself.
