[Feedreader-development] Changes in translation processing.

[Karsten H. <mai...@kh...>]

Hi all.

I want to change the way the translation strings are stored.
Actually they are stored in xml files and get parsed at startup.
If there are special characters in the file, the parser dies and the 
translation fails. The conversion utility i wrote fails for languages 
which doesn't use the latin characterset.

I want to change this to simple ini style files so that the user can use 
a simple editor, enter their translation for a string and saves the 
file. There would be no conversion needed, the files can be used as they 
come.

E.g.:

Update=Aktualisieren
Search=Suche

The only thing is to watch out that the original string doesn't contain 
a '='. If so it should be encoded. At the moment we doesn't have such a 
string :) .

This would make translating Feedreader to other language very much 
easier and it's a change which is only a technical one. At the moment we 
have to change all translation files anyway as we have new strings.
