We provide a Nightly Build of OpenPetra. This integrates the changes on Github that has been made on the last 24 hours.

You can get the Nightly Build [https://lbs.solidcharity.com/package/tpokorra/openpetra/openpetranow-standalone-nightly here]. Please download the exe-file OpenPetraSetup-x.x.xx.xxxx.exe and install it on your computer to see your new translations.
 
= Update translation template =
The synchronisation process needs to be done by someone of the Core development team. The goal is to update the template on Weblate with new strings to translate.
 
Make sure that you have pushed all changes on Weblate to our [https://github.com/openpetra/openpetra-i18n Github repository for the translations], at https://weblate.openpetra.org/projects/openpetra/openpetra/#repository.
The next steps have been automated with the command <code>nant buildTranslationTemplate</code>.
 
This command will:
* Download the latest translations from Github (https://github.com/openpetra/openpetra-i18n)
* Will create a new template.pot file
* Will update the existing .po files


You should commit the updated template.pot and the updated .po files to https://github.com/openpetra/openpetra-i18n again, and make sure you do a pull on Weblate, and then a reset, losing all local changes, but getting all new strings
curl https://get.openpetra.org | bash -s test


All .po files in the i18n directory will be added to the installer automatically. OpenPetra will use the language settings on the workstation for determining which language file should be used.
Then just replace your language file in /home/op_test/client/locales, and reload your browser.
