+When you save the ''.po'' file, you will notice that poEdit also created the ''mAirList.mo'' file in the same folder:
+{{ :tutorials:other:pasted:20141009-122539.png?400 }}
+So everything is in place now, and if the language is the same as your Windows language, mAirList should automatically detect and use the file. Otherwise run mAirList Configuration, go to //GUI -> General//, and set the language code accordingly.

 ==== Variables ====
+You will notice that some of the English texts contain special placeholders starting with a ''%'' sign, like this:
+  Importing file %d of %d (%d errors). Estimated time remaining: %s
+These are variables which will be filled with the actual text or data by mAirList. In particular, you will come accross the following placeholders:
+  * ''%d'' - number
+  * ''%<format>f'' - number with decimal point
+  * ''%s'' - string/text
+**It is important that the translated text uses the exact same variables, in the exact same order!** Otherwise software will crash later. For example. the above text would be translated to German like this:
+  Importiere Datei %d von %d (%d Fehler). Verbleibende Zeit: %s
+Note that the variables ''%d'', ''%d'', ''%d'', ''%s'' appear in the same order. Again, this is very important!
 ==== Quotation marks ====
+Inside the ''.po'' file (remember that it's a text file) double quotes ("") are used to delimit the strings. Now when a double quote appears in one of the English strings, it will have a backslash (\) sign before it, to "escape" it:
+  \"A\" and \"B\" Buttons (left to right)
+Again it is very important that you also use a backslash sign before any double quote in the translated text:
+  \"A\"- und \"B\"-Taster (links nach rechts)
