[Gretl-devel] Info about translations

Hello All, I was updating the translations of the Portuguese files, and I noticed some missing translations on the Italian files, so I am sharing my process because it may be helpful to you too. Analysis of missing translations. Example for Italian (commands on Linux): 1 - cd doc/commands 2 - grep "function name=" gretl_functions_en.xml >list_en_.txt 3 - grep "function name=" gretl_functions_it.xml >list_it_.txt 4 - # Optionally count the lines of functions - wc -l list_en_.txt list_it_.txt 436 list_en_.txt 431 list_it_.txt 867 total 5 - # See what are the differences on functions lists (I use meld from meldmerge.org) you can install with system commands, like "dnf install meld" - meld list_en_.txt list_it_.txt & 6 - # Optionally use meld to do the editing - meld gretl_functions_en.xml gretl_functions_it.xml & # We can search for a missing translation like: function name="$mapfile" ---- A better way to see differences, includes different arguments: diff --left-column --suppress-common-lines list_en_.txt list_it_.txt 35d34 < <function name="$mapfile" section="access" output="string"> 51d49 < <function name="$pkgdir" section="access" output="string"> 59d56 < <function name="$seed" section="access" output="scalar"> 179d175 < <function name="geoplot" section="data-utils" output="none"> 197c193 < <function name="I" section="matbuild" output="matrix"> --- 272c268 < <function name="mlag" section="transforms" output="matrix"> --- 288c284 < <function name="mread" section="data-utils" output="matrix"> --- 386d381 < <function name="stack" section="data-utils" output="series"> 388c383 < <function name="strftime" section="calendar" output="string"> ---
