yes, i was aware of that, toyed around with kbabel a long time ago... ;-) > > i could start something like rk.i18n.scan(), then. > > I'd suggest to wait a little while longer, until we have some feedback from > actual experienced translators. Then, basically, you could take > extract_plugin_messages.py as a template. i'll sure have a good look then. getting the desired attributes or child nodes out of the code is probably not so difficult, as both rk.JS.scan() and rk.rkh.scan() do exactly that already, only for different tasks. dealing with the JavaScript stuff later will be much more difficult, i guess. > Now the .pot syntax does not look too complex, so it might be possible to do > this in one pass (and without the xgettext requirement), but I was not sure > enough of exactly what tricks xgettext might apply e.g. to special > characters. i think i will definitely try to write my own .pot generating functions; looks like it's doable. the only thing i couldn't clearly find out yet is how i have to deal with whitepsace used for code formatting. if every tab must exactly match the input file, then this could be problematic, because you can't guess that from the XiMpLe objects -- they are only added when the full document tree is pasted, and that can be changed via the "indent.by" argument. this is only relevant to a limited number of strings (like values of <text> nodes), though. > Of course as a quick-and-dirty shortcut to getting rkwarddev prepared, you > could simply call "python extract_plugin_messages.py ..." from R... sure, that's a fallback. > - we will need commands to mark up translatable strings in the .js-files > (including scripted plugin logic). I simply haven't worried about that, yet. would adding a pseudo function like _() be enough for gettext to get those strings out? here's a JS implementation of gettext: http://code.google.com/p/gettext-js/source/browse/trunk/js/gettext.js it uses the function _() to denote translatable strings, if i get it correctly. > - .pluginmaps (in particular external ones) will need to specify an id / > name for the message catalog to use, and - optionally - a location where to > find it.

Not that I expect that to make much sense, though. i'll start with implementing it for pluginmaps. is there a name scheme? e.g., the "rkward__" with two underscores have special meaning? > > so "label" is omitted when "no18n_" is used? is it "no18n_" or "noi18n_"? > > The other way around: If a label attribute is not found, RKWard will look > for a noi18n_label attribute, next, and this won't be fed through > translation.
