Tutorial translations: switching to xml2po
by Colin Marquardt 10 Feb '08

Hi, is there anyone who objects using xml2po for the tutorial translations? See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/DocumentationTranslation for the process. With xml2po, translators would get regular po files to translate, with all the positive effects (no manual looking for string changes; more dedicated tools than for Docbook; familiarity of amny translators with the format; translator credits for free (even though we don't pull them yet for the About box); strings from included images are in the same file; the Gnome people are using it; and probably some more). I am using xml2po for the German translation since pre-0.45, and it worked quite well so far. I have started automating the conversion process to HTML/SVG (to the then intermediate Docbook XML) in SVN. So if there are no valid objections overriding the plusses, I will soon start converting all translated Docbook XML files to the po format. Please submit any translated XML files that are not yet in SVN. I think now is a good time to tackle that process, considering that 0.46 is probably a while but not too far away, and there are quite some efforts going into tutorials recently (thanks Ryan :). Cheers Colin PS: I'm cmarqu on IRC.

Uncommitted translations anyone?

Hi, is there anyone with uncommitted translations around? I would like to run "make update-po" again to pull in new strings from the source, and it's easier if all translations so far are in SVN. (I have now committed the translations in the Patch tracker, so these should be fine.) Cheers Colin

There is an existing translation of the manual in wiki of inkscape-forum.de. http://wiki.inkscape-forum.de/ Someone will have to update it and convert to DocBook/XML when English version is ready.
