# Translator's Guide to &kturtle;

As you probably already know &kturtle;'s programming language, &turtlescript;, allows to be translated. This takes away a barrier for some, especially younger students, on their effort to understand the basics of programming.

When translating &kturtle; to a new language you will find, in addition to the &GUI; strings, the programming commands, the examples and the error messages are included in the standard `.pot` files as used for translation in &kde;. Everything is translated using the regular translation method found in &kde;, yet you are strongly advised to learn a little on how to translate these (as you will also read in the translator comments).

Please look at https://edu.kde.org/kturtle/translation.php for more information about the translation process. Thanks a lot for your work! &kturtle; depends heavily on its translations.
