Hi, I commited on
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/cdd/cdd/trunk/webtools/?rev=0&sc=0 code that generates i18n tasks pages using DDTP descriptions - which means it WOULD do so if I would not have to struggle with a really stupid UTF-8 problem. If you call tasks.py 2> tasks.err you get all the problematic descriptions (140kByte) which seem to be all non-ASCII character containing texts. Even in untranslated descriptions does this problem happen - just grep for "(lang='en')" in the output above. The strange thing is that genshi.Markup tries unicode(string) which fails - but it should not, because all the descriptions are properly formated UTF-8 strings. I verified that the code would work otherwise because some short descriptions in the German translation came through. So if you could lift me above this hurdle we would come quite close to translated tasks pages. What else needs to be done: 1. Translation of some fixed texts. I'm not convinced that I found the most clever way to inject translated strings via data['stringname'] = _('String to translate') and use ${stringname} in the template. There must be a more clever way but for the moment it works and if you have no better idea to put the string into the template directly which leaves the problem to tell genshi for which language to translate, we can finish all strings this way and get rid of all the fixed strings in the template. In principle it is probably not worth the effort to think about whether this is elegant or not. 2. Joining the scripts tasks_idx.py and tasks.py to have only a single script generating index and single tasks pages. 3. Obtain also DDTP translations of meta package descriptions to render this in the left column of the tasks page and at the index page. 4. Take over all the surrounding stuff for other CDDs as it is in the current update_tasks script. I think about putting the CDD specific stuff into a config file to enable easy adding of further CDDs but I have not yet decided about the format of the config file. Kind regards and I would be very happy if someone could tackle this unicode problem Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
