- 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.
