[gaim-migrate @ 9467] " Expansion from my original protocol prefs to plugin prefs. Things are handled a bit different in this iteration of it, but I have already modified msn and jabber to use it, and included an example plugin to show how to use it. It will also generate pages with doxygen. The example plugin doesn't not contain any translatable strings seeing as we're in the string freeze. And it's an example, whats the point of translating it..? Also, I tweaked the documentation for 2 functions in gtkprefs, gaim_gtk_prefs_dropdown and gaim_gtk_prefs_dropdown_from_list. Nothing major in that, just made it say that the list should be a list of pairs label/value. Also there's 5 new files that will need to be added to cvs: src/pluginpref.h src/pluginpref.c src/gtkpluginpref.h src/gtkpluginpref.c plugins/pluginpref_example.c the tarball already has them structured correctly and contains the diff" --Gary Kramlich - amc_grim and the german translator pointed out that sean missed the novell file for POTFILES.in committer: Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>

Translation README

Updated: 04-October-2003
------------------

Translated .po files may be submitted in whatever native encoding is
most convenient (and hopefully canonical).  Please ensure that the
Content-type: line reflects the proper character set.



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
------------------

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 <email@something.com>
# Copyright (C) 2003, Your Name <email@whatever.com>
#
# This file is distributed under the same license as the Gaim package.
