[l10n] Win + l10n (once again)

Hello all.

I adimit it: I'm lost. I know this subject is old but I don't know how
to solve it: PO files maintenance + Win.

I have been helping with PO file maintenance under Linux, but after an
HD crash, I don't have access to it at home and I won't have it for a
while (I can't install it in the machine that I'm using or run a dual
boot, etc., etc.).

I tried to merge the PO template file from...

http://hix.nu/subversion/trunk/subversion.pot

...with the current PO files to get the same result as running "make
locale-gnu-po-update" under unix, but I can't get it to work. I'm
trying to use "po-merge.py" for this. I used this script several times
before under Linux to merge the PO files from trunk to the branches.

So, is it possible to update the PO files under Win with the
hourly-updated PO template + po-merge.py? If so, how can I do that?
And, if not, what is the right way to do it without unix? I think that
the folks updating the fr.po file use Win, don't they?

Thanks again,

Marcos

I'm one of the fr.po maintaniners and I'm under Windows but I'm not 
doing the po-merge, Fabien (cc'ed in case is not subscribed) is doing 
the po-merge. I think he's under but I'm not sure about that.

Fabien, are you doing the po-merge under Linux or Windows?
If you're doing it under Windows, can you share your knowledge here, 
thanks.

Marcel

Hi Marcos,

I hope your issue has already been solved, but...

... no, it's not possible to do that. If you want to merge the PO
template, you need to use the gettext distribution from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gettext for win32. It provides the
msgmerge program you had for linux to do the merging for the template
file.

When you want to maintain a branch translation, you need to use
po-merge.py to transfer translations from the trunk to the branch.

I hope that clarifies things? If not, please tell me.


bye,


Erik.
