The short test programs in the test directory illustrates how to create
valid EXIF data from scratch, how to save EXIF data and how to load EXIF
data from data in memory. There are also a few simple example programs
available in the contrib/examples/ directory. Don't hesitate to contact

The libexif translations are made by volunteers working on their own,
either directly with the libexif project or through one of two translation
coordination sites, the Translation Project
-<http://translationproject.org/domain/libexif.html> and Launchpad
-<https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/libexif/+pots/libexif-12>.

+<https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+source/libexif/+pots/libexif-12>.
Any updates to language translations coordinated by the Translation Project
must be made through their web site, but all other languages can be
updated either through Launchpad (preferred) or by sending updates to
the libexif developers mailing list directly. As of this writing, the
following languages must be updated through the Translation Project:
