The .po files we use for translations have two shortcomings when used in Git:
- They include file locations, which change each time the source is updated.
This results in large, unreadable diffs that don't merge well.
- They include source strings for untranslated messages, wasting space
unnecessarily.
Update the Makefile so that the extraneous information is stripped when the
files are updated or pulled form Transifex, and empty translation files are
removed entirely.
Also, translations are normalized to a common style. This should help diffs
and merges.
The validator requires file location comments to identify the programming
language, and to produce good error reports.
To make this work, merge the comments in before validation.
First patch for: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2435
Add automatic creation of python an C file lists for potfiles
Deletes useless copy of Makefile in install/po
Remove duplicate maintainer-clean target
Add debug target that prints file lists
Unbreak update-po target, merges in patch from John
Performing I18N completely on the server, to leverage the
existing gettext architecture.
Also, the browser does not have access to the Language header.
Added the additional po files for a set of required languages
conflict with install/static/ipa.js was resolved.
Note that the addition of the .po files in this patch is necessary.
In order to get Transifex support, we need to update the LINGUAS
file with the languages for which we want support. If we don't
add the .po files in, they get automatically generated by the rpmbuild
process. Our implementation of gettext has a bug in it (It might
be F13 thing) where the the Plurals line is not getting correctly
transformed, which causes a build failure. However, since the
RPM would have the .po files anyway, we should revision control
the ones we have, even if they are empty.
Fixed the Bug reporting url to the original value.
Corrected the Chartype encoding for UK
A new directory install/po has been added which contains all
the translations for all files in IPA.
The build has been agumented to build these files. Also the
autogen.sh script was mostly replaced by autoreconf, the preferred
method. The old autogen.sh sript also had some serious bugs in the
way it compared versions which caused it to run old versions of some
of the tools, using standared autoreconf is much better.
