Hello *,
my girlfriend and me have translated my whole Workstation into de, fr,
tr, ar and fa but it was a nightmare, because 'gettext' was not able to
find the $[gt.XXX] strings...
Since I have to translate several Desktops (around 60) I want to know,
whether someone has written a tool which find the $[gt.XXX] strings and
create the "fvwm.pot" file
OK, I have done it allready with a BASH script, but it is tooooooo slow
and the functions are limited...
Only my Workstation has already 280 Strings... (my Develstation
is a nightmare, even if I have allready all i18n.)
if someone is interested in my BSH-Script please let me know.
(I have currently no possibility for uploads.
Short desription:
1) Message strings must be
$[gt.Some text to translate]
(see desription 'man fvwm2' => LocalePath)
2) Output is always "fvwm.pot" in the director where it was started
(overrides previously versions)
3) To read ONE file use
tdgettext-fvwm -r -i <file>
4) To read all files in the current directory
tdgettext-fvwm -r -i '*'
5) Now rename it from "fvwm.pot" to "fvwm.po" and translate it
6) With the command tdgettext-fvwm -c' it will compile it to "fvwm.mo"
7) Copy the file to $HOME/locale/CC/LC_MESSAGES/fvwm.mo where CC is
the country code of your translated fvwm.po
8) Put in your ~/.fvwm/config following line:
LocalePath $HOME/locale/:+
9) Restart and enjoy an internationalized and localized fvwm DeskTop.
Note 1: I like to see some people which test this script, because
I want to improve it, but first it must work perfectly.
Note 2: Currently I am rereading the WHOLE bunch of Fvwm manpages
since I have forgotten many options (and some are added
since 2.4) and the manpages are better then the newspapers...
Hey, I have found many spelling errors. Where can I report them?
Greetings
Michelle Konzack
