Quick guide to translating MathJax

While we are working on adding MathJax to TranslateWiki and Transifex, here's a quick guide to help you translate MathJax directly here on github.

• Figure out the language code -- let's call this xx.
• Fork the MathJax repository
• Copy /unpacked/localization/en/ to /unpacked/localization/xx
• Replace all ens with xxs in all files contained in this folder.
• In particular,
  • rename en.js to xx.js
  • watch out for en in the first and last lines of code in each file -- otherwise things won't load properly.
• In xx.js change the plural: function to match the plural rules of the language xx.
• Translate the strings in all files.
• Test the translation.
• Create a pull request to our repository so that we can review your code.
• Get a big Thank you! You're awesome from the MathJax team!
