So, I'm pretty happy with my latest iteration of migrating to gettext and I've got it up and running on all supported platforms. backstory is https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2017-Ma y/077818.html with the modification that we retain a msgctxt, albeit a shorter one than the current pseudo msgctxt that is generated for the current .po files To try and minimize disruption I've a script available in master as solenv/bin/update-for-gettext to update our current translations to give them a new msgctxt (and update their keyid comment) I've successfully run this over the sample tarball of .pos extracted from pootle that cloph provided. i.e. python2 /path/solenv/bin/update-for-gettext translations/libo_ui It shrinks and normalizes the msgctxt and updates the keyid comment for .src and .ui strings and moves them into a per-module messages.po. For .src strings the msgctxt typically becomes the 2nd line of the current msgctxt i.e. the #define of the string or stringarry For .ui strings the msgctxt typically becomes uifilename|widgetname (caolanm->cloph: will this script suffice for getting pootle updated ?) In our code I've autogenerated matching initial contexts for the matching .ui and .hrc source strings. (newly added strings can have arbitrary meaningful context strings e.g. NC_("papersize", "A4") its just the existing ones that will have ones mechanically generated from the existing metadata available) Is there any outstanding concerns or questions. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: l10n+unsubscribe@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
