Re: [Gretl-devel] website translations
Here are my thoughts on this.
I've attempted to use the system Henrique described, and lost the
translation that I have done (1 hour work). So, I would like that
whatever system we use, to have:
- Working offline using the CVS shared files.
- Keeping the XML file format. (because Allin has it in a state of the
art for Doc and Help production).
I am keeping the PT translations in synch. I use diff scripts to and
the validate tool to see what commands (and functions) Allin and Jack
have changed, and then edit the PT files side-by-side with the EN
ones.
(I can share the scripts if you want)
For the PDF docs, I have the PT structure set and most of the files
are straight copied from EN.
I am in favour of having a better system for translation, that might
bring more people to this effort, but I don't want to loose what is
already translated.
Cheers,
Hélio

Dear Ignacio and Allin, we discussed the possibility to use .po files
for doc translations some time ago:
http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-devel/2009-November/002171.html
Our friend Ivan Sopov already had built a config-file for po4a utility
that generates .pot and .po from the XML files. Please take a look
at the message:
http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-devel/2009-December/002273.html
Or go directly to the file:

I strongly agree with Ignacio and I believe that if we could pave a
better and easier way for translations we will translate more
documentation ;-)
