---------------------------------------
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
I have attempted to clean up our po/ subdirectory and bring it in to
|
||
|
|
conformance with GNU gettext tools as well as hook it in to GNU autoconf and
|
||
|
|
GNU automake. The gettext software has templates set up for this already,
|
||
|
|
so I'm just using those.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From time to time, we may have to update our gettext template files and or
|
||
|
|
expand or reduce the information in the files. How do you know what files
|
||
|
|
do what? Here's an explanation:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
m4/gettext.m4
|
||
|
|
m4/iconv.m4
|
||
|
|
m4/lib-ld.m4
|
||
|
|
m4/lib-link.m4
|
||
|
|
m4/lib-prefix.m4
|
||
|
|
m4/nls.m4
|
||
|
|
m4/po.m4
|
||
|
|
m4/progtest.m4
|
||
|
|
po/Makefile.in.in
|
||
|
|
po/Rules-quot
|
||
|
|
po/boldquot.sed
|
||
|
|
po/en@boldquot.header
|
||
|
|
po/en@quot.header
|
||
|
|
po/insert-header.sin
|
||
|
|
po/quot.sed
|
||
|
|
po/remove-potcdate.sin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These files are copied in when 'gettextize' is run on the source
|
||
|
|
project. When we need to update to a newer minimum version of
|
||
|
|
gettext, these files will be replaced. In general, we should never
|
||
|
|
need to touch these files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
po/Makevars
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Should be updated when we update gettext files with a new gettextize
|
||
|
|
run. A file called po/Makevars.template will appear and we can move
|
||
|
|
over our values to the new file and commit it. We do not need to
|
||
|
|
change this file on a regular basis.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
po/POTFILES.in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This file contains a listing of all source files in the project that
|
||
|
|
have translatable strings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
po/LINGUAS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Space-delimited list of languages available. If a new language is
|
||
|
|
added, it should be added to this file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
po/*.po
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Actual translated strings, as maintained by the translation team(s).
