[gaim-migrate @ 7538] This is Mr. Holland's Opus. And by Mr. Holland I mean Robot101. He rewrote the coreish IM image support so that the binary data gets ripped out in the prpl and put in an imgstore instead of just being passed in the same huge as char string as the actual message. This is good because it's prpl agnostic, or something. It also means we don't have a silly length of "-1" with pretty much every send or receive IM function. It should be crash free, bug free, and memleak free, but additional testing is always a good thing. If you like good stuff then you'll love this patch. But don't take my word for it--ba dun dunt! committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

Translation README



Updated: 19-April-2003
------------------

To supply a new translation, you first need a copy of gaim.pot.
This can be built by typing:

./update.pl --pot

from the gaim/po/ directory.

To update an exsting translation, type:

./update.pl LANG

where LANG is the language code to update, such as fr or ja. This will build
a new gaim.pot and update the translation with the changes. You may then
begin editing the updated file.

New or updated translations should be sent to the gaim-devel listserv
(see http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gaim-devel)

Please check your translations carefully. Make sure you have the same
number of newlines and %s or other formatting codes in the translation as
you have in the original.



Updated: 05-August-2003
------------------

All translations should be in UTF-8.  You can use the following command to 
convert from one encoding to another, if needed:
> iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 xx.po > xx.po.new

Before submitting updated or new translations, please run the following 
command to ensure the file does not contain errors:
> msgfmt -c --statistics xx.po

The comments at the top of each .po file should appear as follows:
# Gaim Xxxxx translation
# Copyright (C) 2002, Another Name <[e-mail]>
# Copyright (C) 2003, Your Name <[e-mail]>
#
# This file is distributed under the same license as the Gaim package.
