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

Generate sphinx with gettext

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

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

Go on Pootle, and for each language, do

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

Work on the translations
Same as 3.
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
