This is the repository where Kivy translations are managed - DEPRECATED

Kivy translation project

Note

This is some note written during the process discovery. I'm not sure it's the good way to do it.

Pootle

Webserver available at http://translation.kivy.org/

If a lang doesn't appear on the webserver, ask to [mat at kivy.org]

Underground process

1. Generate sphinx with gettext

PYTHONPATH=.. sphinx-build -b gettext sources build/gettext

2. Copy the gettext content as templates in Pootle

# maybe a merge is needed here ? cp build/gettext/* /home/web/kivy.org/build/translations/sources/templates

3. Go on Pootle, and for each language, do

"Update from templates" # XXX sometime, permission denied on .tmp O_o

4. Work on the translations
5. Same as 3.
6. For every language, we need to generate po. They will be done in /home/web/kivy.org/build/translations/compiled/LANG/LC_MESSAGES

7. Generate sphinx documentation for all languages sphinx-build -Dlanguage=LANG ... + adjust doc/sources/conf.py / locale_dirs to use compiled directory

Todo

• Make that directory work under git source control
• Ensure we are able to do translation over time (when docstring changes)
• Generate documentation automatically from bot

Tips

"Make a single file from loose .po files" $ msgcat --use-first general.po [^g]*.po | msgattrib --no-fuzzy -o nl.po
