The text strings used in Parallels Pro Control Panel are stored in an industry-standard format called "Portable Object," or .po files. Compiled .po files are referred to as .mo files. For more information on .po and .mo formats, refer to the following link http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/gettext_toc.html. To localize the strings and offer the control panels in a new language, you need to download and uncompress the archive, open the .po files in a text editor of choice and translate the .po files, then install the translated files on the server.
The .po files are provided as a compressed file en_US.tar.gz
with Parallels Pro Control Panel. You can download the file from the Parallels Pro Control Panel Support Site http://www.ensim.com/support/pro/linux/translationkit.html
. The source archive for Power Tools contained in the compressed file en_US.tar.gz
contains the latest versions of Power Tools.
Before you localize the strings, read the localization guidelines enumerated in the following section.
