# How to translate 2048 to another language.
First, if you do not have Gettext, get it by entering the following command by terminal
```
sudo apt-get install gettext
```
We aim to have the following structure for our directory:
./po/language_name/file.po
So, go to the ./po directory and then create a directory with your language standard name.
for example:
```
mkdir po/es_AR
```
The next step is to generate the .po files with the following command (change 'es_AR' by your language standard name):
```
msginit --input=po/gfx_curses.pot --locale=es_AR --output=po/es_AR/gfx_curses.po
msginit --input=po/gfx_terminal.pot --locale=es_AR --output=po/es_AR/gfx_terminal.po
msginit --input=po/highscore.pot --locale=es_AR --output=po/es_AR/gfx_highscore.po
```
### Translation
Now, we can translate the strings:
so, go to ./po/language_name/ and translate the strings in the .po files with a text editor.
for example:

Nwe should create the directory where we'll place the .mo files (change es_AR by your language standard name):
```
mkdir 18n/es_AR/LC_MESSAGES
```
The last step is to generate the .mo file:
```
msgfmt --output-file=/18n/es_AR/LC_MESSAGES/gfx_curses.mo po/es_AR/gfx_curses.po
msgfmt --output-file=/18n/es_AR/LC_MESSAGES/gfx_terminal.mo po/es_AR/gfx_terminal.po
msgfmt --output-file=/18n/es_AR/LC_MESSAGES/highscore.mo po/es_AR/highscore.po
```
##And this is it!
