# General preparation
1. Install git, gettext and po4a.
2. Fork this project.
3. Clone your fork on your computer.
4. (Optional:) Get an editor for po files or use an online service for it.
It would be best if you create a Linux work environment.
If you're not familiar with Linux, try to take the [Distrochooser test](https://distrochooser.de/en/).
It might help you to choose one of the many Linux distributions.
Anyway, the following text will assume that you have chosen Ubuntu or Kubuntu or something like that.
1. Install git on your computer.
> **git:** A versioning software so that you can keep track in software projects on which changing has taken place at what time and circumstances. This is what github is all about.
**Installation on (K)Ubuntu:** Open the console and type `sudo apt-get install git`, type in your password (you won't see any dots or stars in there while typing) and it is going to be installed.
2. If not already done, create a github account.
then [add it to your github account](https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account/).
3. Go to [this github project page](https://github.com/pampanic/pam_panic/wiki/How-to-translate) and fork this project. (Click on **Fork** in the upper right.)
> **Forking:** You are about to create an own version of a project. It will copy its content to your account under a new project, and github will note that this fork exist. After you pressed the Fork button you will be in your **own** project afterwards.
4. [Clone your fork](https://help.github.com/articles/cloning-a-repository/) you just made from this project
5. (Optional:) Get an editor for po files like `poedit` or use an online service for it.
**Installation on (K)Ubuntu:** `sudo apt-get install poedit`
Are you new to .po files? You might want to read about [The .po structure](https://github.com/pampanic/pam_panic/wiki/The-.po-structure).
