Maintaining Existing Languages

Pootle for developers

Lexicons for rpms in smecontribs and smeserver are automatically added to pootle.

A patch is automatically created at http://translate.contribs.org/patches/ You then apply this to the rpm to apply the new translations.

• The english locale file is used as the pootle template. Other languages are edited/translated at pootle.

• Every time you modify, add to or remove strings from the english locale file, just re-commit to cvs. There is a daily update to apply cvs changes to pootle

• Make your original FM file XML strict. Always close the opened tags (<i>...</i>). Use the same caps for tags (<b> is not equal to <B>).
