What Happens in SME10 (and SM1)

Pootle

SME8/9/10 uses a package called Pootle which I have not used. I guess it shows the english to be translated and captures the input in the target language.

It is documented at https://translate.contribs.org/

Unfortunately Pootle does not seem to be supported anymore, the last release was in 2017.

As seen here: http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/pootle/en/stable-2.8.x/releases/2.8.2.html

There is a script held in CVS: https://viewvc.koozali.org/smeserver/builds_bin/update_templates?revision=1.20&view=markup&pathrev=MAIN which seems to take the Pootle files (.tmpl files?) and create some diffs for incorporation into the rpm. I'm not too keen to spend much time understanding how it all works as Pootle is dead and so will SM1 be.

And For SME11?

Within SM1 the package I18N is used as the basis for the translation and relies upon language files for each language expressed as perl program files (.pm files)
