First create a project all grep-2.5.4 Then copy or link your th.po file into /var/lib/pootle/grep-2.5.4/th.po Alternatively you could try something line this if you are planning to get more files from the translation project: Make a project called TP or translationproject mkdir /var/lib/pootle/tp/th Place all your PO files in tp/th/ and all your POT files in /var/lib/pootle/tp/templates/ Thus: /var/lib/pootle/tp/templates/grep-2.5.4-pre6.pot Then you will have a PO files called: /var/lib/pootle/tp/th/grep-2.5.4-pre6.po Be aware that when you send these via email back to the TP you will need to change your po files to: grep-2.5.4-pre6.th.po That should do it I think. -- Dwayne Bailey Associate +27 12 460 1095 (w) Translate.org.za +27 83 443 7114 (c) Recent blog posts: * Localisation Information Language - preventing mistakes and increasing the richness of localisation http://www.translate.org.za/blogs/dwayne/en/content/localisation-information-language-preventing-mistakes-and-increasing-richness-localisation * xclip - where have you been all of my life! * Virtaal on Fedora Stop Digital Apartheid! - http://www.digitalapartheid.com Firefox web browser in Afrikaans - http://af.www.mozilla.com/af/ African Network for Localisation (ANLoc) - http://africanlocalisation.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
