    31 Lines marked with '''EN''' show untranslated lines.
    32 Lines marked with '''X''' have been marked as draft line.
    33 Lines marked with '''BASE''' are missing in a nationalized translation and have been overridden with the language based translation (i.e. "ca" used instead of missing "ca@valencia").

    35 The translation of older [wiki:VersionHistory JOSM start messages] can be changed at [wiki:VersionHistorySource] for the current year. For each former year a separate page exists (e.g. [wiki:VersionHistorySource/2016]) back to 2008. The line format is the same as above.

    4139Translation of the program texts including plugins is done at [https://translations.launchpad.net/josm/trunk/ Launchpad]. A few plugins are translated at [https://www.transifex.com/josm/josm/dashboard/ Transifex] instead (as of January 2018 Mapillary, geojson and scripting). See #8645 for plans about what platform to use.

    4341The templates at Launchpad are updated each night together with the new latest build. Translations are imported before each new release (or more often when needed).

    45 The Java translation has some specialities which must be remembered when translating:
    46  * The ' sign [https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/text/MessageFormat.html is a special character]. It must be escaped by another ', so !'' means a single quote in resulting display.
    47  * For languages with heavy usage of this character the typographic ’ may be used instead of the escaping (looks better when translating, in the final software a user will hardly see the difference).
     43The Java translation has some specialties which must be remembered when translating:
     44 * The `'` sign [https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/text/MessageFormat.html is a special character]. It must be escaped by another `'`, so `''` means a single quote in resulting display.
     45 * For languages with heavy usage of this character the typographic `’` may be used instead of the escaping (looks better when translating, in the final software a user will hardly see the difference).
    4846  * This character is U+2019 named RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
    49   * Under Linux this character is available with <ALT-GR>+<SHIFT>+<N>
    50   * Under Windows the character is available by pressing <ALT> and typing 0146 on keypad
    51  * Don't use the message formating brackets {}, or when, then escape each with single quotes like '{' or '}'.
     47  * Under Linux this character is available with ''`<ALT-GR>+<SHIFT>+<N>`''
     48  * Under Windows the character is available by pressing ''`<ALT>`'' and typing `0146` on keypad
     49 * Don't use the message formatting brackets `{}`, or when, then escape each with single quotes like `'{'` or `'}'`.

    5351All strings have a reference to the place in source code where they appear. That can help to find proper translation. You find the sources here:

    6664A short description how to add new language support for test purposes, when 2000 strings limit is not yet reached:
    6765* Create the language files and store them in the plugin file (or JOSM core):
    68  * Language files are stored in directory "data" of JOSM and named with the lowercase language code with extension '''.lang'''.
     66 * Language files are stored in directory "data" of JOSM and named with the lowercase language code with extension **.lang**.
    6967 * These files are always a set. The English base file and the translation files must be created together or they will not work correctly.
    70  * The Perl script [source:osm/applications/editors/josm/i18n/i18n.pl i18n.pl] must be called with a destination directory and the '''.po''' files to create translation data.
     68 * The Perl script [source:osm/applications/editors/josm/i18n/i18n.pl i18n.pl] must be called with a destination directory and the **.po** files to create translation data.
    7169* Add the new language in init() function of [source:trunk/src/org/openstreetmap/josm/tools/I18n.java I18n.java]:
    7270 * A proper code for the plural mode of the language needs to specified.
    73  * A description of the plural calculations can be found in the '''.po''' file downloaded from Launchpad.
     71 * A description of the plural calculations can be found in the **.po** file downloaded from Launchpad.
    7472 * If none of the existing modes matches the language, add new one needs to be added in the PluralMode enumeration and in pluralEval() function.
    7573 * For some special languages it is necessary to add workaround code in [source:trunk/src/org/openstreetmap/josm/tools/LanguageInfo.java LanguageInfo.java] to translate between Java language code and the newer codes used on Launchpad
