+PO Helper
+---------
+
+To make maintaining XX.po file easier, the l10n coordinator created
+po-helper.sh script. It is wrapper to gettext suite, specifically
It's better to rename the script to other name without the suffix
".sh", so we can reimplement it in other programming language. Maybe
we can rename it to `git-po-helper`, and host this helper in a
separate project on GitHub.
It might be a good move in the longer term, but if the po-helper.sh
is working well enough to fill the need of i18n/l10n team right now,
I think documenting the status quo would be a good way to help the
contributors immediately.
And when we reimplement it (if that is desirable---I have no opinion
myself), we certainly would want to update this part of the doc to
use the name of the rewritten tool.
In any case, I expect that you to be the main reviewer on this topic
and you will feed me the final commits, just like any other change
in the po/* area via a pull request. In other words, I may have
input to the discussion on list, but I won't be applying the result
myself---I'll be pulling from git://github.com/git-l10n/git-po.git
repository instead.
Thanks.
Grazie Junio. However, I'm more of writing documentation rather than
contributing code, so I will help for the documentation and usage
testing. But anyways, we can ask for help from other l10n contributors
who are more proficient at coding.
