Translation environment22
|
Historical This page describes the second translation environment last used From Gramps 2.2.x to Gramps 3.4.x. |
How it works
Gnome provides utilities and a translation framework:
- msginit will generate a standard gettext header.
- intltool-update will manage template and translations.
- intltool-extract will extract translation strings on .glade and .xml files, by generating files with .h extension.
# Generates a new template (gramps.pot), into /po directory : intltool-update -p
- intltool-merge will merge cached translations into .in files
# Merges translated strings into desktop file, root directory : intltool-merge -d po/ data/gramps.desktop.in data/gramps.desktop
# Merges translated strings into xml file, root directory : intltool-merge -x po/ data/gramps.xml.in data/gramps.xml
# Merges translated strings into key file, root directory : intltool-merge -k po/ data/gramps.keys.in data/gramps.keys
Files and directory
- Makefile.am and intltool
If you want a script to take your translatable strings into account, you must add your source file path in the file : po/POTFILES.in. For this report example, you should add:
... # plugins directory src/plugins/AncestorChart2.py src/plugins/AncestorReport.py ... src/plugins/FindDupes.py src/plugins/Leak.py src/plugins/MediaManager.py src/plugins/Myreport.py # <------ src/plugins/NarrativeWeb.py src/plugins/PatchNames.py ...
In this file, the sources are sorted within each directory or category.
You can check missing references (not on POTFILES.in and POTFILES.skip) with the command
/intltool-update -m
into /po directory.
