Preliminary

Once we have everything worked out how to interact with pootle and the formmagick stuff then I'll get something up on contribs.org that everyone can use. It would be really nice if we could automate the extraction/import of files that need to be translated into pootle but first things first. Slords (talkcontribs). 18:23, 24 January 2008 (MST)

New tool - Formagick

I have found a good tool (getpo) for convert HTML to PO and revert. The best is you can customize to handle xml tags. It has use TIDY lib.

Before use, you can enable centosplus repo and install "tidy".

Download getpo from http://i18n.linux.net.cn/download/gettext-autowork/getpo-031.tar.bz2

See these address:

I want to play with it to finally convert formmagick panels to PO correctly.

revision control using CVS/SVN

Today I had a quick look at the pootle pages and found a wiki as well, which has some valuable information like for instance revision control using CVS/SVN: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/version_control - Cactus 03:26, 25 January 2008 (MST)


Remarks

I don't have a problem with using this page for working out methods, you can re-edit the method so it gets more exact, with 50 posts in a bug report things get lost or confusing


Normando, I've updated sv and de, the versions in smeserver-locale had different names, ie the newer versions included .tmpl

I don't see how you delete the old versions, at the shell maybe ?

Now we have entered the data, it makes it clearer where there are missing translations, good work

  • What it shows is there isn't a standard english base for translators to work off, french and german have the most complete set
  • some files insert a .tmpl
