[IDEA] I want to create a portuguese translation

[Thiago Miranda]

Hello. I was trying to find an alternative to the Hercules program I used on Windows, and just found this incredible PacketSender program, that is even better.

I saw that it has multiple language support, but no portuguese so far. I would like to contribute writing a translation to it and keep working on future translations for portuguese if possible.

I didn't saw any contributing guidelines here, so decided to create this issue to suggest the portuguese translation that I'm willing to do.

I just need to get my self used to the files needed to change, and could start working on it later if that is possible.

Awesome. Always happy to add another language.

The translations are XML format and located here as .ts files:
https://github.com/dannagle/PacketSender/tree/master/src/languages

Here are the steps...

1. Download the English version:
   https://github.com/dannagle/PacketSender/blob/master/src/languages/packetsender_en.ts

2. Rename the file. The Portuguese code is "PT", so packetsender_pt.ts will be good.

3. Write your translations between <translation></translation>. Note that maintaining the spacing in the text is important.

4. Remove the type="unfinished" when that line is finished.

You can attach your finished file to this issue if you are not familiar with git version control or creating github pull requests. I will load it in to the source and give you a shout-out in the release notes.

The finished Spanish version might be a helpful reference for you:

Thanks again.

Thanks. I will work on it and submit a PR as soon as I finish it.
