This directory contains the source for the instrument definition presets.

I am maintaining it in plain text "conf file" format for ease of
editing.  If you make changes to the file, you must generate a new
presets.xml by running

  ./regenerate-presets

The default presets-editable.conf contains U.S. English definitions.

To translate it, copy it to presets-editable-<lang>.conf (for example
presets-editable-fr.conf or presets-editable-zh_CN.conf), edit it
appropriately, and run ./regenerate-presets to generate your new
translated XML file.  Note that _only_ the "name" strings should be
translated -- you _must_ leave the clef names untouched, or they will
fail to work.  The displayed clef names themselves are translated
separately as part of the program's .po file.

Once you've generated a translation as presets-<lang>.xml in this
directory, it should then be installed by the standard install process
and picked up automatically by Rosegarden.

Please send your translated .conf file to us at the rosegarden-devel
mailing list.
