Translation Flow
Language files are located in the git.proxmox.com proxmox-i18n git repository, you can download them through the webinterface or clone the whole repository locally using git:
git clone git://git.proxmox.com/git/proxmox-i18n.git
You can then create new translation with (replace <LANG> with the language ID)
cd proxmox-i18n make init-<LANG>.po
For testing your work in the web-interface you need to translate the PO files to a .js file by invoking script located at same directory. First install all required dependencies for that script, for Ubuntu or Debian based system you would do that with:
apt install perl liblocale-po-perl libjson-perl
Then run the script:
./po2js.pl -t pve xy.po >pve-lang-xy.js
The resulting file pve-lang-xx.js should be copied to the /usr/share/pve-i18n/ directory on your Proxmox VE server.
