| − | ===Create .po and export xml=== | + | ===Create .po and export xml files=== |
| − | To test the lexicons
| + | we have written a few shell scripts, which are automating checking, we'll release later for contribs authors |
| − | xml2po -m empty -e -o backup.po backup
| |
| − | | |
| − | View the new bakup.po file in the new PO format. Excellent. Now you can translate PO with pootle, and return again to formmagick panel with this command:
| |
| − | | |
| − | xml2po -p backup.po backup > backup.new
| |
| − | | |
| − | As you can see, if you not translate backup.po, new_backup file is equal to original backup file, BUT with one difference, backup.new file has added a line at the header: We remove this line with newxml
| |
| − | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===shell scripts===
| |
| − | xml2po ignores tags such as CDATA, CDATA does not appear at the PO file.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The workaround is to find and replace the problem code
| |
| | | | |
| − | Create a clean .po file with newpo, either edit your lexicon or add s///g commands to workaround new problems
| + | ===bugs=== |
| − | | |
| − | After you have a clean english .po you could use that as a template and copy and paste the translation in. A better idea is to write a merge tool see below

| − | ====newpomerge====
| |
| − | | |
| − | The aim of this is to take a blank en .po and merge in the values for a translation .po
| |
| − | | |
| − | en.po has

| − | msgid "Yes"
| |

| − | | |
| − | fr.po has

| |
| − | | |
| − | we want fr.po to look like
| |
| − | msgid "Yes"
| |
| − | msgstr "Oui"
| |
| − | | |
| − | We can't assume the translation will be in the same order,
| |
| − | so it involves looking back at the lexicon base field to do the match
| |
| − | | |
| − | or rewriting the fr lexicon first so it is in the same order, with empty fields if necessary,
| |
| − | then you can just go through in order picking out records.
| |
| − | | |
