The po/ directory includes two perlscripts, which is done to help
|
|
making the translations fully uptodate.
|
|
|
|
The first script is called update.pl and is supposed to be run like this:
|
|
|
|
./update.pl [OPTIONS] ...LANGCODE
|
|
|
|
This will updates the pot file (the po template, generated from the source code)
|
|
and merge them with the translations po files.
|
|
|
|
For instance to do this for Danish, type the following
|
|
|
|
./update.pl da
|
|
|
|
|
|
The update.pl script also supports other options, they are:
|
|
|
|
-V, --version shows the version
|
|
-H, --help shows this help page
|
|
-P, --pot only generates the potfile
|
|
-M, --maintain search for missing files in POTFILES.in
|
|
|
|
Especially the --maintain option is very handy for package maintainer, to check
|
|
if you included all the files that have marked strings in the POTFILES.in, so
|
|
they will be in the generated po template, the socalled pot file.
|
|
|
|
There is though one thing to take notice of with this option, please check the
|
|
configure.in file to make sure that the files you add to POTFILES.in are being
|
|
build, otherwise this can leed to "make dist" throuble.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The other utility is the desk.pl script, which will check the cvs module for
|
|
missing translation in files like *.desktop, *.directory, *.soundlist and so on.
|
|
|
|
Run the script like this:
|
|
|
|
./desk.pl [OPTIONS] ...LANGCODE ENTRY
|
|
|
|
An example use could be.
|
|
|
|
./desk.pl da
|
|
|
|
which will check all the files for missing Name[da] entries, or
|
|
|
|
./desk.pl no Comment
|
|
|
|
which will check all the files for missing Comment[no] entries. "Comment" can
|
|
here be replaced with whatever you like
|
|
|
|
All scripts support the --help option for further help, though it's not very
|
|
extensive for the moment.
