[Gaim-i18n] i18 changes: intltool-update replaces update.pl

[Bjoern V. <bj...@cs...>]

Hello!

Richard Laager has commited a patch which adds intltool integration to
Gaim:

   ----------------------------
   revision 1.375
   date: 2006/02/08 07:44:22;  author: rlaager;  state: Exp;  lines: +4 -3
   SF Patch #1265514

   This patch adds intltool integration. It works here; let me know if it
   breaks anything for you.
   ----------------------------

The already applied patch including comments can be found here:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=3Ddetail&aid=3D1265514&group_=
id=3D235&atid=3D300235

The update script po/update.pl is already removed with this patch. As
far as I can see, intltool-update can now be used as a replacement of
po/POTFILES.in:

Checking po/POTFILES.in consistency
-----------------------------------

Old: ./update.pl -M
New: intltool-update -m

I miss the functionality of ./update.pl which shows files in
po/POTFILES.in which do _NOT_ have i18n strings. But this is not a big
issue for me.

Update of a specific translation
--------------------------------

Old: ./update.pl XX  (XX..language code)
New: intltool-update XX

Now my questions:

1) Are you happy with the intltool-patch? I mean, does it work
    correctly?

2) Are you interested in a new update.pl script? I'm familiar with the
    old update.pl code, because I patched it. I think, it's not difficult
    to write a new update.pl script which is basically a wrapper around
    intltool-update.

3) Is it possible to use intltool for the Windows NSIS translations in
    src/win32/nsis/translations? Updating the Windows NSIS translations
    is still a manual job.

Wow, this is essentially the exact e-mail I was intending to send soon,
I just hadn't written it yet! Thanks. :)

You *might* (untested) be able to duplicate this by doing something
like:

mv POTFILES.in POTFILES.tmp
touch POIFILES.in
intltool-update -m
mv POTFILES.tmp POTFILES.in
diff missing POTFILES.in

I've been meaning to ask Daniel about this...

Hi Bjoern,

If NSIS format is one of those supported in "intltool-extract --help"
under "--type" parameter, then yes.=20

If not, we'd be probably accepting patches for it (it should be pretty
simple, just patch intltool-merge and intltool-extract ;).  Bugzilla
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/, product intltool) is the best place to
ask for any similar functionality.

Cheers,
Danilo

This might be a really stupid question, but how does this change affect a
stupid translater such as myself? Can I no longer submit .po files? What
formats do I need to use now?

You can still submit .po files.  This affects only what tools are
available to help you manage your .po file.

Yes, you can translate the .po files like before. You can also use the
same tools with one exception. The Gaim update.pl script is replaced
with intltool-update. intltool-update is part of the intltool-package
(included in Linux distributions). Look at my previous mail or at the
manual pages for intltool usage.

With intltool it's possible to translate the localized names in
gaim.desktop within a .po file.
