One of the ways to help spread Quick Chat is by translating it into your language or updating existing translation by translating untranslated strings. To make it easier for you to translate Quick Chat to your language I've configured Quick Chat online translation interface using open source application named . Using GlotPress hosted on TechyTalk.info you can translate Quick Chat into your own language without the need for any additional tools. My plan is to download translation files before every Quick Chat release and include them into official Quick Chat package. This way your translation files will be available to you and to all Quick Chat users right out the box.

To keep translation files free of spam, before you are able to translate you need to for TechyTalk.info user account. Then you can log into Quick Chat online translation interface using the following link:

I would like to thank all users who have manually submitted Quick Chat translation files. From the technical point of view I will think about ways to continue giving credit to all existing translation authors as well as new translators now that Quick Chat is using GlotPress for translation.
