Zendo package manager (Version 1.5.2)

Alright, I will try go through it again and replace fragments with placeholders. You might want to hold off translating until I get that finished, as the .pot will be a bit different obviously. I have to work tonight so it won't happen yet today, but as soon as I can.

Arghh, already done, I just wait for posting the link in my previous message...
Btw, I think It will not take me too many times to modify it with the new .pot

I'm having a little trouble testing your translation file. I copied zendo.mo to /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ and then tried starting zendo with

Code:

LC_ALL=fr zendo

But it didn't work. I've never used anything except English translations, so I'm a little fuzzy on this, what did you do to get it working?

I copied the file to /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/
my locale is fr_FR@UTF8 so maybe you should use

Quote:

LC_ALL=fr_FR@UTF8 zendo

because the po/mo file is encoding in UTF8.

Thanks for that, it worked perfectly to allow me to start zendo with the french locale. The missing Mark All/Apply/Search buttons were a simple mistake, so that was an easy fix, they can be translated now. The largest problem was that the translated text wasn't being converted to UTF8 before it was added to a GTK widget, so that's why a lot of the text was missing. I just added my own gettext macro that converts to UTF8 automatically, and that fixed every single warning message. The reason no packages were displayed was another silly mistake on my part, but that works now.

One thing I'm not sure about is the libnotify message, as libnotify requires the message to be cast to a const gchar* C-style string, I don't know if the translation will 'stick' through that, or if the popup messages will be all garbled.

As far as msgid's that start with a blank line, I couldn't find any in this pot file. I just did

Code:

grep 'msgid ""' zendo.pot

and it only came up with the one line at the beginning of the file, which I think is an example or something.

I don't know about fragments, those will be pretty tough to track down. I looked for them in the source files but it was impossible for me to find even 1 that way, so I'll have to think of something else. Maybe just looking through the pot will be enough to see where the fragments are.

Test files are in the usual place:
http://zendo.naquadah.org/downloads/zendo.gz
http://zendo.naquadah.org/downloads/zendo.pot
The .pot file shouldn't have changed much, I don't think. The binary is quite different though.

Done !!!
It works ok for me

Please test it :
http://enialis.net/~jrd/zenwalk/_misc/z ... ales/fr.po
http://enialis.net/~jrd/zenwalk/_misc/z ... s/zendo.mo (to copy to /usr/share/locales/fr/LC_MESSAGES/)

Tested, works fantastic. I don't know French, but I went through every dialog I could to make sure none of it was in English, and checked the console for error messages.

I just finished taking out the fragmented sentences I could find and replaced them with placeholders (%s for string and %d for a number). That should make it more friendly for other languages, as you said.

Also, I added you to the Help->About menu, but I need to know how you want to appear there. Right now I just put "JRD", but I could put your real name if you wanted.

I can do the german translation if you have an up-to-date pot-file for me.

JRD · **Posted:** Tue Jun 09, 2009 9:44 pm

Cool

"JRD" is ok (shorter), thank you.

Sparky · **Posted:** Tue Jun 09, 2009 9:51 pm

Alright, this .pot file should be ready-to-go for translation, and the executable to test it.

JRD, your translation might need just a few tweaks now because of the new About page.

It would be great if you did a German translation too Shador, thanks.

Shador · **Posted:** Tue Jun 09, 2009 11:39 pm

OK, thanks. I think I'll have finished it at the latestest on Sunday.

Something sort of unexpected happened today, I got an email from somebody with a complete German localization for zendo. Unless anybody else has a translation they want to proffer quickly, I think I should probably release this tomorrow or so.

I'm terribly sorry for misleading you on the translation, shador, I just didn't see this coming at all. Hopefully you didn't waste too much time on it.

SoleSoul · **Posted:** Thu Jun 11, 2009 9:16 pm

And how do you know it's not Shador?

EDIT: Well, it's not him.

No, problem fortunately, I didn't find the time to start yet.

I could proofread the german translation if you send it to me.
