Hi all, Here is my first experience using po's (po/fr/../doc.po, pot/../doc.pot, src/../doc.xml). I consider two cases: A - Translating only: No change in the help structure; no add, no deletion. Only translation of the strings. 1- Using the po file is the simplest way. a/ First update this po to get strings that have changed by using the following command: msgmerge -U po/fr/../doc.po This will add changed strings that are marked with a "Fuzzy" comment. Edit this updated po files, searching for "Fuzzy". b/ When your file is OK, validate it with this command (being in the folder containing doc.po): msgfmt -c --stat doc.po This displays possible errors and some stats and generate a doc.mo file that is of no use here. c/ make the "svn diff" 2- You may want to work on a xml file rather than on a po: a/ update the po files you want to use as above b/ Create the xml files for your language (being in "trunk"): make -f Makefile.GNU xml-fr for example. This creates a xml folder in "trunk". c/ Edit the wanted xml file. d/ We can't validate xml for the moment. But you can open the file in a web browser (Firefox) that will detect some errors. Or copy the file in an old sandbox (before xml2po migration) and run make validate...:-( e/ Transform your xml file to po (being in trunk): xml2po -e -o <path to doc.po> -r <path to your doc.xml> src/../doc.xml (the english doc.xml). f/ cut-paste the doc.po file into the po directory. g/ Goto 1b B - Updating gimp-help-2 1- Edit the src/../doc.xml file (english). Or edit a xml file in your language and translate it after. 2- Validate it 3- Transform the updated doc.xml file to doc.pot: xml2po -e -o doc.pot doc.xml 4- Edit the doc.xml file in your language, validate it 5- goto 1e You may want to view your xml file in html. Waiting for Ulf's make html-fr, I use $yelp file:///home/<user-id>/.../trunk/xml/<LANG>/doc.xml Unfortunately, images are not displayed by yelp. How to do? I would be very pleased if you can provide a more simple way to work.
