8 To supply a new translation, you first need a copy of gaim.pot.
|
|
9 This can be built by typing:
|
|
10
|
|
11 ./update.pl --pot
|
|
12
|
|
13 from the gaim/po/ directory.
|
|
14
|
|
15 To update an exsting translation, type:
|
|
16
|
5537
|
17 ./update.pl LANG
|
5180
|
18
|
|
19 where LANG is the language code to update, such as fr or ja. This will build
|
|
20 a new gaim.pot and update the translation with the changes. You may then
|
|
21 begin editing the updated file.
|
|
22
|
|
23 New or updated translations should be sent to the gaim-devel listserv
|
|
24 (see http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gaim-devel)
|
|
25
|
|
26 Please check your translations carefully. Make sure you have the same
|
|
27 number of newlines and %s or other formatting codes in the translation as
|
|
28 you have in the original.

33 ------------------

|
34
|
|
35 All translations should be in UTF-8. You can use the following command to
|
|
36 convert from one encoding to another, if needed:
|
|
37 > iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 xx.po > xx.po.new
|
|
38
|
|
39 Before submitting updated or new translations, please run the following
|
|
40 command to ensure the file does not contain errors:
|
|
41 > msgfmt -c --statistics xx.po
|
|
42
|
|
43 The comments at the top of each .po file should appear as follows:
|
|
44 # Gaim Xxxxx translation

|
