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
