[racket-dev] How to translate DrRacket GUI to another (human) language?

This file contains the string constants used by DrRacket:

https://github.com/plt/racket/blob/master/pkgs/string-constants-pkgs/string-constants-lib/string-constants/string-constant.rkt

It then grabs them from one of the language files like

https://github.com/plt/racket/blob/master/pkgs/string-constants-pkgs/string-constants-lib/string-constants/private/german-string-constants.rkt

You could create a file like this named finnish-string-constants and
give it to us (we'd be happy to make the changes to the first file
necessary to link it in.)

It is best to start modifying from

https://github.com/plt/racket/blob/master/pkgs/string-constants-pkgs/string-constants-lib/string-constants/private/english-string-constants.rkt

because it is complete. I also believe (and Robby can confirm this)
that any string translations you leave out will just remain in
English, even if you don't include them in your constants file.

I hope this process is not too painful and we are thankful for your
interest in helping!
