jgmenu−i18n − support translation of jgmenu flavoured CSV menu data
jgmenu_run i18n <translation−file>
jgmenu_run i18n −−init [<translation−file>]
jgmenu_run i18n reads jgmenu flavoured CSV menu data from stdin and either translates it, or creates a po style translation file
The <translation−file> argument can be a file or directory. If it is the latter, translation files will be searched for in this directory based on the environment variable $LANG, which will be assumed to be in the format ll_CC.UTF8 where ll is an ISO 639 two−letter language code and CC is an ISO 3166 two−letter country code. Files named ll_CC and ll will be used in said order.

Modules jgmenu−apps(1) and jgmenu−ob(1) have built−in i18n support. In order to use this features, a translation file is required. Here follow examples of how a translation file can be created:
Example 1.
jgmenu_run ob | jgmenu_run i18n −−init >sv
Example 2.
jgmenu_run i18n −−init <prepend.csv >sv
The result of the above commands would be a skeleton translation file (sv in this case) containing entries like this:
msgid "Web Browser" msgstr ""
Manually translate the empty msgstr fields.
If using modules jgmenu−apps(1) or jgmenu−ob(1), just set csv_i18n in jgmenurc to directly point to a translation−file or a directory containing translation files.
In special circumstances, you may wish to include i18n in command plumbing. Here follow an example of how this could be constructed:
<csv−generating−command> \
| jgmenu_run i18n <translation−file> \
| jgmenu −−vsimple
