@Mike: >xgettext foo.php -o foo.po -karray:1,2 I've seen this syntax, but I don't understand yet. The manpage doesn't describe it.

Im not familiar with gettext and I had no keyword to search ;) @David: >I'd recommend using English as a source language I think it's better to use technical names like "misc.company.name". So there is no problem to correct misspellings. Many thanks and a nice evening :) Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Mike Seth Gesendet: Montag, 17.

This is a part of my php-test-file: echo $this->tm->_('Tasse', 'default.test', 'en'); echo $this->tm->_(array('Ein Kamel', '%d Kamele', 3), 'default.test', 'en'); Its simple to create a po-file: xgettext filename.php But my first problem is: Only singular translations are detected. The second line is ignored, because its not the php-standard syntax of (n)gettext. How is it possible to translate the second line? >From a quick look at xgettext manual, and assuming I understand your question correctly, what you want is xgettext foo.php -o foo.po -karray:1,2 This, then, produces the following: #: foo.php:3 msgid "Tasse" msgstr "" #: foo.php:3 #, php-format msgid "Ein Kamel" msgid_plural "%d Kamele" msgstr[0] "" msgstr[1] "" After Ive got the po-template-file I create a new translation with: msginit --locale=en --input=messages.po The file en.po will created and I can add my translation ("Tasse"). But now I add the following line in the php-file: echo $this->tm->_('Tisch', 'default.test', 'en'); If I want to extend the existing template-file (messages.po) with xgettext, there is no problem. But if I want to extend the translation-file (en.po) with msginit (see above) I will get an error, because the file already exists. You aren't supposed to do that with msginit. It is designed to create new PO files only. The correct procedure is to create a POT (template) file with xgettext, and then keep the slave files up to date with msgcat and msgmerge, please see gettext info manual for details. What can is do? Ok the second question isn't agavi specific, but I hope anyone knows an answer. And a last question: Is agavi not documented? I see only a tutorial and inofficial faq. Will there be a documentation in the future? The API documentation is the primary documentation I use, and I feel comfortable reading the source code anyway. Although the tutorial has plenty of information about architecture and use of many components, a full user manual hasn't yet been written because everyone's busy doing real work ;) Thx and Regards, Jark _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.agavi.org/mailman/listinfo/users _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.agavi.org/mailman/listinfo/users
