*PDF Arranger* is a small python-gtk application, which helps the user to merge
or split PDF documents and rotate, crop and rearrange their pages using an
interactive and intuitive graphical interface. It is a front end for
[pikepdf](https://github.com/pikepdf/pikepdf).

*PDF Arranger* is a fork of Konstantinos Poulios’s PDF-Shuffler
(see [Savannah](https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pdfshuffler) or
[Sourceforge](http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfshuffler)).
It’s a humble attempt to make the project a bit more active.

For more info see [User Manual](https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger/wiki/User-Manual).

## For translators

Translations are located in the following files:

*   [`po`](po)`/LANG.po` for interface translation strings
*   [data/com.github.jeromerobert.pdfarranger.metainfo.xml](data/com.github.jeromerobert.pdfarranger.metainfo.xml) for repository integration
*   [data/com.github.jeromerobert.pdfarranger.desktop](data/com.github.jeromerobert.pdfarranger.desktop) for desktop integration

If you are not comfortable working with git, **you may edit translations directly from Github's web interface**. However, in the normal case
you would contribute translations by following these steps:

*   Download the main branch (see [For developers](#for-developers))
*   Checkout a new branch to save your changes: `git checkout -b update-translation-LANG`
*   Run `po/updatepo.sh LANG`, where `LANG` is the locale you'd like to update
*   Update your translations in `po/LANG.po` file, and commit them; do not commit changes to `po/pdfarranger.pot` which may have been
    automatically regenerated
*   If possible, test your translation to see it in context (see [For developers](#for-developers))
*   Create a new pull request with your changes to the main branch

If you are editing mnemonics accelerators (letters preceded by an underscore), here are some additional guidelines. However, if you have no idea what this means, don't worry about it.
Try to follow these rules by priority order:

*   be consistent with other GTK/GNOME software
*   pick a unique letter **within that given menu** if possible
*   pick the same letter as the original string if available
*   pick a strong letter (e.g. in "Search and replace" rather pick `s`, `r` or `p` than `a`)
