 Qt is C++ toolkit for multiplatform GUI and application development. It
 provides single-source portability across MS~Windows, Mac~OS~X, Linux
 ans all major commercial Unix variants. Qt is also available for

 \subsection{New languages support}
+In order to add a new language to \vym you need 
+the sources (see \ref{getsources}) and
+an installation of Trolltechs QT. A part of QT are the development
+tools, from those tools especially the translation tool "Linguist" is
+needed. 
+
+In some Linux distributions the development tools are in an extra package, e.g. on SUSE LINUX you should have installed:
+\begin{verbatim}
+    qt3-devel.rpm
+    qt3-devel-doc.rpm
+    qt3-devel-tools.rpm
+    qt3-man.rpm
+\end{verbatim}
+If you don't have QT in your system, you can get it from 
+	\href{http://www.trolltech.com}{http://www.trolltech.com} Once you
+	are able to compile vym yourself, you can translate the text in vym
+	itself by performing the following steps:
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Let's assume now your encoding is "NEW" instead of for example
+	"de" for german or "en" for english
+	
+	\item Copy the file {\tt lang/vym\_en.ts} to l{\tt ang/vym\_NEW.ts} (The code
+	itself contains the english version.)
+		
+	\item Add {\tt lang/vym\_NEW.ts} to the TRANSLATIONS section of vym.pro
+
+	\item Run Linguist on {\tt vym\_NEW.ts} and do the translation
+
+	\item Run {\tt lrelease} to create {\tt vym\_NEW.qm}
+
+	\item Do a make install to install the new vym and check your translation
+\end{itemize}
+
+If you feel brave, you can also translate the manual. It is written in
+LaTeX, you just have to change the file tex/vym.tex. (Linguist and QT
+are not needed, but it is useful to know how to work with LaTeX and esp.
+pdflatex to create the PDF.) 
+
+Please mail me every translation you have done. I can also give you a
+developer access to the project, if you want to provide translations
+regulary.

 \subsection{New export/import filters}
+\vym supports various kinds of filters. Data can be written directly,
+inserted into templates or it can be written as XML data and then
+processed by XSL transformations. 
+
+Most of the import/export functionality is available in the classes
+ImportBase and ExportBase and subclasses. All of them can be found in
+{\tt imports.h} and {\tt exports.h}.
+
+\subsubsection{Direct import/export}
+An example for a direct export is the XML export. This method touches
+the implementation of nearly every object of \vym, so whenever possible
+it should be tried to use for example a XSL transformation instead.
+
+If you still want to know how it is done, start looking at 
+{\tt MapEditor::saveToDir} in {\tt mapeditor.cpp}.
