Talk:Pootle

Thanks Normando, I have my pootle server running, but I'm don't see how to import the language files, have you imported them ?

A lot would come from sourceforge cvs > smeserver > smeserver-locale, but not all

maybe we could trial pootle on contrib translations, say sourceforge cvs > smecontribs > smeserver-vacation

Getting pootle to intergrate to the way SME currently updates files may be difficult I suggest see what the shad and charlie think in your bug 3782

Hello Snoble

First, I have added a test project, and assign to me and add a few languages. Then, because I am the admin of the project, I can add files to the project to translate.

The only files handle for pottle are PO or POT files. BUT it has a few of converters to make convertions between file.xxx to file.po and revert file.po to file.xxx. One of them converters is txt2po and po2txt (http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/txt2po) .

Pootle handle directly po files under /usr/share/locale to translate.

I think to make a parser or analizer to convert formmagick panels to txt files, and then to .po, handled with pootle.

See http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/formats about all converters. I think it is possible to make translations for formmagick panels within pootle.

I have setup a demo pootle. Access at:

user: smeserver with same password. You can test, delete, modify, etc.

Thank for the comment snoble
