1. on Windows XP, download the Win32 compilation source code of gnucash and the compilation configuration script.
. Http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows "instructions for an (almost) Automated build"

2. Download The http://www.poedit.net/download.php for poedit (Windows) version "Windows version" http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/poedit/poedit-1.4.2-setup.exe.

3. Find the latest zh_cn.po file, for example, "C:/soft/repos/po/zh_cn.po"

4. Use poedit to open and edit the zh_cn.po file. After saving the file, the zh_cn.mo binary machine code is generated in the same directory of zh_cn.po. Po is a common cross-platform file, portable object, and Mo is a machine object.

5. copy zh_cn.mo to the gnucash installation directory in the Chinese language, for example, "C:/soft/gnucash/inSt/share/locale/zh_cn/lc_messages ", and rename it to gnucash.mo.

6. run gnucash again on Windows XP. bat starts the gnucash program, for example, C:/soft/gnucash/inSt/bin/gnucash. bat, you can check and debug your Chinese Language Pack.
 
# --------- If you are on a non-Chinese Windows XP operating system ---------
# In gnucash. bat, add the following two statements to set the language:
# Set Language = zh_cn
# Set lang = zh_cn

This is the basic Chinese step of gnucash. I spent three days practicing it according to the information on www.gnucash.org. Please leave a message to correct the error.

If you need to submit a Chinese patch to the project.
Then you need to use the latest stable branch gnucash-2.2 http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/translation_status.
