+# 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:
+![Screenshot](https://k62.kn3.net/5/0/D/B/4/4/870.png)
+
+
+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!
