Re: [Zabbix-users] Fwd: Help on Translation Submition

[Edson - L. <4l...@gm...>]

Well,

Not the best solution, but I developed a little script that could be 
used for other translator to help in there jobs... maybe it could be 
included in a "contrib" directory in the distributed source file. Find 
it attached...

The idea is get all keys names from the english file, get all keys from 
the target translation file, process a diff over both, and build a new 
translation file maintaining all keys present on both, but deleting the 
missed ones and including the new ones. To identify the lines that need 
to be translated I appended an ID string ("#translate me").

I know that the resulting file didn't include changed translations, but 
it's what I'm using to maintain pt_BR translation... :)

Edson.

P.S.: To use the script, just edit it and change the desired variables 
on the beginning.
