Hi all, Now we are migrating GNOME's modules to Meson (and reading some threads with problems regarding to this migration) I thought it could be a good idea to improve Damned Lies webpage, to support adding new languages in documentation.
I've been working in a simply script to add new help languages to meson.build files, but I noticed the same problem we had with Makefiles: the list of languages can be in a single line (which is the case I worked on) or can be in a list, with one language per line, complicating the parser. I'd like to ask you about the possibility of proposing developers to follow a standard or best-practice when writting this files, in order to be able to add new help languages to GNOME modules when commiting them from Damned Lies page. Yes, I agree delegating this kind of compatibility in developers is not the best way, but have no other way to do that. We could control it with a pre-commit hook (like actually it's done with .desktop keywords, semi-colon separated). Now it seems that Meson is becoming the new way to build applications in GNOME could be a good idea to stablish this, as it could help translators to add their own help translations directly from the web. What dou you think about it? Thanks in advance and best regards
