You probably want to see what is the most important for you to do. The ISO codes, especially for countries and languages in your region are certainly worth doing, we use them in Pootle. > I made a little script that invoked pot2po, no options, on the .pot's > and put the .po's in the /var/lib/pootle/ttft/th, as you described above > and moved the .pot's to /var/lib/pootle/ttft/templates/, also as you > described. > > The one .pot they sent me was duplicated by my script.

I'd suggest doing this. You can safely make your pot files into th.po and simply copy any .th.po they send you into your th directory. Doing it this way you don't need to put anything into templates, you also won't need to update from within Pootle. > If not I think I will modify the script to make .th.po's right off, > delete what I have and start again.

If your PO files follow that format then no. You can probably create a nice script to mail these if you use xdg-email and attach all the files and send to [email protected] > > > > That should do it I think. > > > > Thanks again for all your help. > > -- 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.
