Re: [Bf-committers] Arabic translation support in the UI script

[xiangquan xiao]

Foward to blen-translation :)

2011/10/6 Dalai Felinto <dfel...@gmail.com>

I talked with Sergey and this is the current workflow. We can add it to
//po/README.txt if other translators will run into that. But the basic
information is there already:

(1) run update_msg.py (it needs compiled Blender)
(2) run update_pot.py - gather the latest strings from Blender
(3) run update_po.py - sync in the new changes from trunk
(4) run clean_po.py - remove the no longer needed msgstr/msgid
(5) run merge_po.py to bring the new .po file into trunk's .po

If you actually want to discard the old translations from trunk's ar.po it's
better to cook your own .py for that (trivial to adapt the arabic_to_utf.py
for that as you know). Given that this is the exception and not the rule I
don't think we need this officially in trunk. This would happen between (4)
and (5).

* Note: you likely want to run clean_po.py in your new .po to avoid
translate strings that are not needed.

(can someone please share this in the translators mailing-list?)

Hi 甜菜，

checkout下来发觉貌似这些脚本都是要建立编译环境才能使用的，无论如何很给力了，有没有什么方法现在合并更新下google code的branch PO呢～？我看到svn.blender.org中的po有9k多行了，其中3k多行是模糊翻译，我在google code中刚好翻译了6k行左右，不晓得是否准确不。有没有说什么时候这些PO需要被放进2.60的编译中呢～？

Hi,

I'm just arriving in Beijing :)

The new scripts in /po/ are all added by other developers. Sorry I havn't had a look at them, yet.

It seems that you have talked with Ton on IRC. Do you get some info to share, now?
