Info for translators

If you want to help translating Q10 into your language, take into account Q10 in its current incarnation has somewhat limited support for Unicode. Translations can be created for many languages, but more complex ones will present problems.


If you want to try anyway please follow these instructions:

Install Poedit

Download Poedit from its website and install it.

Only for geeks: If you know the gettext toolchain, you probably don't need Poedit. Please use your text editor of choice and the gettext command line tools you already know for compiling the catalog.

Download the translation template

Download q10.po. It's actually the spanish translation file I used to generate the .lang file for that language.

Your browser will probably display the contents of the file if you just click on that link. Right click over it and choose "Save link as..." or equivalent.

Rename the file to your language name

For example, if you're translating into italian, rename the downloaded file to italian.po. Q10 will use the file name (capitalized) when displaying the languages list. If you need to insert an space just use an underscore (_).

Open q10.po in Poedit

Translate away into your own language!

Please read Poedit manual and help file for further instructions.

Save the translation

Poedit compiles the translation every time you save your .po file. If it does not, please check Poedit's configuration.

Rename generated .mo file

The generated .mo file will be in the same folder your .po file is. Change its extension from .mo to .lang.

Put the translation file in the same folder Q10 is installed

Your language will appear in the drop down list when you press Ctrl + L.

Send the translation to me

Send it to me (q10@baara.com) so I can put it here.

Important: Please include "[Q10 Translation]" somewhere in the subject so I can filter your messages (they could go to my spam folder otherwise!).

Don't forget to include your name so I can put it in the translations list.

No version for Linux or Mac is planned.

Q10 is a simple but powerful text editor designed and built with writers in mind.

Q10 is freeware. That's right, you can download and use it at no cost.

Q10 is small, fast and keeps out of your way.

Press F1 inside Q10 to read the help card.

Q10 will clean your kitchen, walk your dog and make excellent coffee. Well, not really. But it's really good as a full-screen text editor.

I'm a Spanish programmer, designer and fiction writer who didn't find any plain text editor comfortable enough.

Ok, ok. I was looking for a pet project to spend time on instead of writing, but don't tell anyone.

If you want to show your gratitude for Q10, you can browse my Amazon wish list.
