Using AS_ALL_LINGUAS instead of po/LINGUAS
hi all; in Moblin first, and now in MeeGo, the UX components have replaced the po/LINGUAS file with a nice little m4 macro called AS_ALL_LINGUAS. the macro scans the po/ directory for all translation files and sets the ALL_LINGUAS variable with the list. files can be blacklisted by using a LINGUAS.ignore file. I wonder if it would be worth to consider for the GNOME project as well, as it simplifies the maintainership burden and limits the amount of files that have to be handled by the translation committers. to use the macro: just drop the as-linguas.m4 file in your macro directory (the one you specified in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR) and then just call AS_ALL_LINGUAS in your configure.ac, in the section where you define GETTEXT_PACKAGE and call the i18n tools. and that's all there is to it. :-) the as-linguas.m4 macro was written by Neil Roberts and Ross Burton. ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi as-linguas.m4 Description: application/m4 ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
