In xsane and in the -*.po.in files we use the #defined labels of the text instead of the text. -This way the original text can be changed without all language files -have to be changed! - -po.in2po uses the gcc preprocessor to replace the #defined labels by the -original (up to date) text and creates the *.po files. - -make_newlanguage.po.in creates the file newlanguage.po.in, the gcc preprocessor -is used to add the recent original texts as comments. - - - -WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO TO CREATE ADD A NEW LANGUAGE? ----------------------------------------------------- - -Take the file newlanguage.po.in and copy it to "language".po.in -where "language" is the abbrevation that represents you language -(eg. fr.po.in for french, de.po.in for german,...). - -Edit the file "language".po.in and type in the translation -in the lines: -msgstr "text" - -If that is done: - - if you have gcc installed, call po.in2po "language" - - if you don`t have gcc see if you have a C preprocessor you can use - if not, I will transform it for you - -now change to the xsane directory and do -edit configure.in and add "language" to ALL_LINGUAS, then do - make distclean - ./configure - make -and as root - make install - -(You have to install xsane, otherwise the language files will not be found!) - -set environment variable LANG to your language -(eg. export LANG=de) and call xsane - -If you want to make your translation public -please send your "language".po.in file to: -Oliver Rauch <Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE> -If you have any problems please also contact -me on the email-address above! - -Bye -Oliver Rauch - |
