I have a few questions about translating PO file:
|
|
|
|
1. Assume I copied `ikiwiki.pot` file to `pl.po` file and translated it
|
|
from English to Polish. How can I check that my `pl.po` file works good?
|
|
I have some experience with building Debian packages, but I don't know
|
|
too much about working with PO files in Debian packages.
|
|
|
|
> Try putting it into the po/ directory and running make and make install
|
|
> in there, that should create the .mo and install it somewhere
|
|
> appropriate. ikiwiki should display translated messages when building the
|
|
> wiki (with -v).
|
|
|
|
2. I'll send you my translation when I finish it, of course. But what about
|
|
updating my PO file? Should I send it to you for every ikiwiki issue?
|
|
Maybe you should give write access to ikiwiki repository for translators
|
|
of PO files?
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|

>> OK, I've picked up Subversion for your ikiwiki, so I can get into
|
|
>> Git now ;)
|
|
|
|
3. What is the best way to update my PO file when you do some changes in
|
|
`ikiwiki.pot` file? Should I translate my PO file from scratch or
|
|
can I do diff for old and new `ikiwiki.pot` file and update only differences?
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
>>> I'm not a translator, so I don't really know..
|

|
4. What about "gettexting" button titles and link names? Do you really
|
|
think that there should be hardcoded in ikiwiki templates? --Pawel

|
|
> I don't know, really. Recai's approach seems to show promise.
|
|
|
|
>> BTW, why does ikiwiki number my questions wrongly (1., 1., 1., 1.,
|
|
>> instead of 1., 2., 3., 4.)? Where have I made a Markdown mistake? --Pawel
|
|
|
|
>>> My indentation mistake, I think. --[[Joey]]
