Please feel free to create a new book about KiCad (or continue to translate the existing) in you native language at The Wikibooks.

The documentation source code in OpenDocument format can be found in the kicad-doc-{version}.tar.bz2 package or fetched from the Kicad Subversion tree.

Interface

KiCad interface was translated to different languages.

The language set by operating system will be used when you start KiCad programs.

If KiCad interface was not translated to you native language, then english will be used.

If you cannot find you language in the list of translations, you can translate interface by self.

Interface translations can be easy added with poedit program usage.

The KiCad source code does not require any changes for new translation.

Please take a look to the kicad/doc/help/GUI_Translation_HOWTO.pdf document (from the installed KiCad tree) for the translation nuances.
