description strings on GUI
by Arpad Biro 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hi, Does anyone know where these description strings are displayed on the GUI (I just want to see them on screen to know how long can the translated strings be): "Bounding box edges" "Move mode" There are a lot of strings of this kind, these are just two examples. They seem to be descriptions for actions. In source code they appear like this (src/widgets/toolbox.cpp): InkToggleAction* act = ink_toggle_action_new("ToggleSnapToBBoxPath", _("Bounding box edges"), _("Snap to edges of a bounding box"), INKSCAPE_ICON_SNAP_BOUNDING_BOX_EDGES, secondarySize, SP_ATTR_INKSCAPE_BBOX_PATHS); gtk_list_store_set( model, &iter, 0, _("Move mode"), 1, _("Move objects in any direction"), 2, INKSCAPE_ICON_OBJECT_TWEAK_PUSH, -1 ); Arpad Biro

Updated POT from svn source

10 Jun '09

Hello, I'm trying to update Serbian localisation to recent svn in this way: ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=/home/urke/opt cd po make update-po But after that I get this error: urke@...214...:~/devel/svn/inkscape/po$ make update-po make inkscape.pot make[1]: Entering directory `/home/urke/devel/svn/inkscape/po' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../share/filters/filters.svg.h', needed by `inkscape.pot'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/urke/devel/svn/inkscape/po' make: *** [update-po] Error 2 There is not filters.svg.h file, but if i remove filters/filters.svg.h and patterns/patterns.svg.h (on both files make die) from POTFILES.in, I get updated POT without translatable filters messages. I'll appreciate some help. TIA -- Aleksandar Urošević http://urosevic.net [ Debian GNU/Linux Lenny @ Lenovo 3000 N500 ]

context strings
by Kris De Gussem 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Dear all I just had a second look over some translations in Dutch. I noticed that when translating a message with a context string (the part before |), the comments do not always give the same instruction. For example, you have: #. TRANSLATORS: only translate "string" in "context|string". #. For more details, see http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-I18N.html#Q-:CAPS #: ../src/dialogs/clonetiler.cpp:2649 msgid "clonetiler|H" #: ../src/ui/dialog/inkscape-preferences.cpp:1116 msgid "filesystem|Path:" #. TRANSLATORS: This is a context string, only put the word "Normal" in your translation #: ../src/filter-enums.cpp:52 msgid "filterBlendMode|Normal" So following the instructions, it seems that in the first case the context string needs to be put in the translated message. In the second example, you seem to have the choice, and in the third example the context string must not be put in the translated message. This seems weird to me. Is there a reason why there is a difference in the instructions or do we need to put the context string everywhere in the translated messages? Kind regards Kris

using ./generate_POTFILES.sh
by Alexandre Prokoudine 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi, Whoever updates POTFILES.in using ./generate_POTFILES.sh please stop doing this. You are not doing everyone a favour. We moved a number of messages that translators should not see while working on 0.47 translation to POTFILES.ignore, because some features will be missing in this release. I'll restore the previous version immediately. Then someone else will have to recreate inkscape.pot using 'make inkscape.pot' in po directory after successful compilation, because Inkscape doesn't compile on this box for me. Alexandre
