How to create translation patch from TortoiseSVN in Windows

This is basically
http://reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Submitting_Patches with images. Comments are welcome
This should work under any Windows XP or newer.
You will need:
- TortoiseSVN (you already have it)
- ReactOS sources somewhere on the computer (you already have it)
- knowledge how to translate .rc files (you already have it)
STEP1: Do your translation, test it (you have learned how to do this on ReactOS wiki)
STEP2: Go to the root folder (where you have checked ReactOS out), you should now see the "reactos" folder
STEP3: Right-click the "reactos" folder and select "Create patch" from the context menu

STEP4: Select all modified files you need (Don't forget about the "Show unversioned files" checkbox if you created a new translation for some module)
[ external image ]
STEP5: Save the patch, upload it instead of the .rc files.
You should do the following to have your patch commited:
- When creating patch always go to the root folder (you should see "reactos" folder there)! If you don't, developers may not find out what exactly did you translate
- Create only one patch per each bugreport in JIRA
It's no problem if you put the patch into a .zip file.

Umm, that page's contents got migrated over to the dev guide by me yesterday as well. Though it is good to see community members take initiative.

Oh, sorry to duplicate the efforts then. Do you mean this
http://www.reactos.org/development/source-control ?

Yes. On the other hand, the section on merging is still missing, so if you want to do that, I can incorporate it into the guide.

Adding also the pictures to the wiki tutorial could be a good idea
And also, another point is, don't forget to "add" (in the svn sense) the new translation files (.rc) to the project (they will get versioned with the status "added").

That only works if you have commit access. Otherwise you've just confused SVN for when it does the next update.

It's not necessary, the translator can also tick the "Show unversioned files" checkbox to see all the newly added files.

Might try, though my environment differs visually.

Will this work in Windows 10?
