This can do that:

Re: [Lazarus] Replacing LRT format with RSJ

2016-02-17 Thread Denis Kozlov 
It would be useful to have a built-in option to regenerate base PO file
(and update translated PO files) for a project.

This could involve:
1) Removing all existing LRT, LRJ, RST, RSJ.
2) Forcing project to be recompiled to reprocess resourcestrings and
produce RSJ
3) Forcing forms to be resaved to reprocess LFM and produce LRJ

I have performed these steps manually on several occasions to ensure a
clean regenerated PO file.

Just announce it on the ML and forum, maybe somewhere on the wiki and
just implement.

So users will need to save forms anyway in order to ensure strings
correctness and to get correct .po files.

Maybe some helper tool that resaves all affected forms in one go can be
created, though. Don't know how big is demand for it.

It should be possible to code up an automatic conversion of LRT files
directly to RSJ/LSJ, without a need to resave all forms. They both store
the same data, but use a different format.

Of course, LRT files with already broken strings (as a result of new lines)
would be initially mapped 1-to-1 to broken strings in RSJ file, but they
will get fixed the next time the form is re-saved.

Hi,

I've already submitted a patch, in October, at

http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=28740

Note that there will be issues from older versions to newer versions.
Read the notes there at the page.

Currently I simply update the laz files after I upgrade because I too
use multiLine hints. This fix will also fix multi-line edits, etc.

Julius

Not without forcibly saving all affected forms. I don't think it is
good, because LFMs can change (e.g. when form created in Linux and saved
in Windows).

To actually provide the benefit to users, it would be nice if the 
transition process would be made automatic in Lazarus IDE.
I.e.: If in Project Options "Enable i18n" and "Create/update .po file 
when saving" are both ticked,  a "Compile" should check for the presence 
of  .lrt files and behave accordingly, i.e. remove .lrt files and 
generate again what required.


Is that possible?

[Lazarus] Replacing LRT format with RSJ

2016-02-16 Thread Maxim Ganetsky 
Hello.

Currently we use .lrt file to store translatable strings extracted from
forms.

This format is broken, because it cannot handle multiline
resource strings (e.g. multiline hints).

See the following bug report for details:

http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=26553

I propose to generate this file in RSJ format (also used by FPC 3.0.0
and up).

Therefore the plan is:

1) Remove LRT support completely, replacing it with RSJ.

2) Although generated file would be in RSJ format its extension will
be .lrj in order to avoid possible filename clashes, e.g.
when output directory is the same as project directory.

As a result people using this feature will need to remove their .lrt
files and save all affected forms again in order to generate .lrj files.
No other changes should be needed.

Any comments?
