This directory contains all the translations of CDSware in all the
supported languages.
For each language whose 2 letters codename is <xx>, a file named
<xx>.po exists, and contains a list of sentences to translate. This
file is in GNU Gettext format. Please consult the Gettext
documentation for more information.
<http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>
* What are all those files?
The directory contains a few scripts (i18n-*.py) and the actual
translation files.
- <xx>.po files are the master translations. These are the files
containing the actual work of the translators
- <xx>.mo are compiled translation files. They are recomputed during
build time, and installed in the target directory
- cdsware.pot is the template containing all the requested
translations, fetched from the source code and the html files.
- compendium-<xx>.po is a base of known translations, extracted from
messages.py. It is only necessary during the transition from the
previous system.
* Adding a new language file
To add support for a new language <xx>, do:
make update-po-files
cp cdsware.pot <xx>.po
...and fill in the translations in file <xx>.po.
* Synchronizing the translations with the code
When some sentences have been modified or added in the code, and the
translations must be updated accordingly, do:
make update-po-files
...and update all the files. To have an idea of the files requiring
modifications, run:
make check-translations
