Hi,

Why the fr.po file is not trunked here?

https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2/tree/master/po

Is it the right github to use?

We always commit to the dev-branch; we build our test images from there and when we're happy we merge the dev-branch into the master branch.

I hope you read our 'how-to' and grab the po-file from your box?

Hi,

Thanks I saw it now, here is the translation for the DEV branch of OpenVIX. So the new strings of the DEV branch are already included.

How is the script used?

Edit:
We also prefer changes to Dev branch. They will get merged into master when a release build is run.

Hi,

Ok new PR created:

https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2/pull/281

For the script it is easy:

# Pre-requisite:
# The following tools must be installed on your system and accessible from path
# gawk, find, xgettext, gsed, python, msguniq, msgmerge, msgattrib, msgfmt, msginit
#
# Run this script from within the po folder.

Once the pre-requisite are met you can easily update all the po files (for exemple I run it on OSX), these ease translator life because now they can update the po file when they want to have them update without having to wait for someone to update them all or to have a fresh enigma2.pot file provided.

Edit: this also means that translators no longer need to have a full build environment setup on there PC ;-)

I saw that the script has open a debate on github, I will also cut and paste the answer here because I guess that this will better explain and script and have a better visibility:

Let me explain:

The normal build process generates an updated version of the po files but those file are not sent back to github. If I look at OpenViX 'dev' branch I saw that your .po files are 1 year old and I am quite sure that they are new or changed strings in the source code in between that needs translation.
So your build process generate locally the updated po files but they are not sent back to github (git add / commit / push).

Before, for a translator if he wants to have the very latest po file to work on, he needs to have a full linux system with a complete enigma2 build environment, then run the whole building process just to have the po files updated locally.

Today with my script if the following pre-requisite are met (they are mentionned in the script):

Pre-requisite:
The following tools must be installed on your system and accessible from path
gawk, find, xgettext, gsed, python, msguniq, msgmerge, msgattrib, msgfmt, msginit

Run this script from within the po folder.

Then it is possible to update the po files on any local PC. I run this script it myself on OSX without having a full build enigma2 environment.

I know how hard it is to find translators so I try to make something more simple and universal to help them generate the po file they want to work on.

This script doesn't interfered with the normal build process, he just apply the same logic.
The script neither include the git command to update the repository, even if they are really easy to integrate.

As you have already mentioned I have done the same for several plugins repositories (with an adapted version of the script of course) but keeping the same logic.

So the final goal I try to achieve is:

to ease translator life
have the same approach on every repository (enigma2 or plugins) to generate the po files same script name to achieve the same things.
try to have more translating the images and plugins in there native languages
If OpenViX doesn't want to have the script in there tree, no problem for me, simply delete it.
Or if you want to improve it or customised it for your own use please do it.
If you want to remove my pseudo from it, you can, I am not looking at any glory by providing it. ;-)

Before, for a translator if he wants to have the very latest po file to work on, he needs to have a full linux system with a complete enigma2 build environment, then run the whole building process just to have the po files updated locally. Interesting approach. Personally, I like to do my translations from the latest image. I update the image to my receiver, download plugin with the .po -file I want to translate, and fetch that one file from receiver to PC that I want to start working on. Actual translation is done by using POEdit.
