New way to translate ispCP

[raphael]

Ok, since r679 we will now be using .po files to handle the translations.
Many changes were made to the current translations so almost all need to be updated.

I imported the existing translations and converted them into .po files.
If you notice that there's a missing .po please tell me the language code of that translation, because there was one of the exising translations that didn't have the required info.

The source .pot is language-files/ispCP.pot
At the moment all the .po files are up-to-date to the current .pot

Malte/Benedikt: can any of you update the links of the website so they now point to the .po files?

I will try to finish the script that converts the .po files back into the A=B format by tomorrow morning.

NOTE: all the languages were imported automatically, and all those with msgid = msgstr were marked as fuzzy.

How should we Implement this on Translation Page; any suggestions?

[raphael]

Well, people should instead download the .po files and then upload them (possibly as tickets in Trac).

A script would convert those .po files and update the A=B files.
I know it sounds like a lot of things to do, but it's quite simple and easier to manage changes compared against the current system.

I like this approach. Very nice Raphael.

[adigit]

good, then we can use poEdit to do the translation easily

By the way... using this approach requires the Language-Team information to be correctly set (e.g. Spanish <es@li.org>, e.g. Spanish (Argentina) <es_ar@li.org>)
The email address doesn't really matter, but the first part does, because the language information is read from that entry.

And about

Here is more info:

Quote:E | File thai/ispcp1.0.0-thai does not provide a ispcp_languageSetlocaleValue entry

By the way, I'll try to set the Language-Team information of the existing .po files based on the current ispcp_language entry of the A=B files.

Good but... where is this script ? I suppose you have made it raphael ?

I need it if I want to test my new french translation...

Thanks

In my local PC... it is still under development and I've been adding some new features.

I'll setup an online converter so you can convert them.
I don't plan to publish the x64PoPot class until it is ready (that means: plurals support & charset conversion)
