Mini HowTo translate p4a.smt
Be sure to meet all dependencies:- msgfmt provided by gettext package (at least on ubuntu)
- i18ndude
Case a: the product doesn't support i18n yet
0. Create the basic directoty and files structure, to do:
2. generate pot
3. generate po files
- Go to $BUILDOUT_PATH/p4a.buildout/src/p4a.video/p4a/video/
- mkdir locales/LC_MESSAGES/es ; mkdir locales/LC_MESSAGES/en ; mkdir locales/LC_MESSAGES/el ; mkdir locales/LC_MESSAGES/no ;
- create locales/LC_MESSAGES/es/p4a.video.po and copy the skel from any other .po file
1. convert po to mo using msgfmt (the current path is smt like $BUILDOUT_PATH/p4a.buildout/src/p4a.video/p4a/video/locales ):
$ msgfmt --use-fuzzy -o es/LC_MESSAGES/p4a.video.mo es/LC_MESSAGES/p4a.video.po
2. generate pot
$ i18ndude rebuild-pot --pot p4a.video.pot --create p4a.video `ls ../browser/*.pt`
3. generate po files
$ i18ndude sync --pot p4a.video.pot */LC_MESSAGES/p4a.video.po
Case b: adding the translation to my language
1. create the files for your language:
$ mkdir -p es/LC_MESSAGES
$ touch es/LC_MESSAGES/p4a.video.po
$ i18ndude sync --pot p4a.video.pot */LC_MESSAGES/p4a.video.po
2. edit the product's file in your language and translate all the entries:
$ vim es/LC_MESSAGES/p4a.video.po
3. generate the mo
$ msgfmt --use-fuzzy -o es/LC_MESSAGES/p4a.video.mo es/LC_MESSAGES/p4a.video.po
4. restart zope, test!, fix and start again.
