Guess this belongs to the list... :) ---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ---------- Betreff: Re: [opensuse-translation] Modifing the way .po files get created ASAP Datum: Dienstag, 4. November 2008 Von: "Jean Cayron" An: "Michael Skiba" I agree, as translator of bpth projects, I can say that it helps a lot for long strings with little changes such as typos.

Hi Karl, (hi List)

I tried the latest version of lokalize a few days ago, it has greatly improved and I can really recommend it! (still some finetuning needed, but works stable for me :) )

Amonst other new features lokalize offers a "original diff"-function. This is quite useful since you can see exactly what changed (especially in the long help texts).

While this feature works quite well with the po files of the KDE project (not the suse ones), it doesnt work with the openSUSE-po-files :/

KDE seems to put the old(now marked as fuzzy) message in a comment[0], therefore lokalize is able to compare them.

Here I've an example (thanks to Martin Schlander):

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kde4/de/messages/kdebase/kcmkeys.po?view=ma...

There's basicly a change of the capitalization of "Scheme", but enough to

show

what I mean, the old text is marked as #| msgid "foobar".

Could you enable that feature for us? Would be really really useful :)

Greetings Michael

you can feed Lokalize's translation memory with old versions of .po files and then use Translation Memory view - it will find similar msgid-msgstr pairs and display the difference between msgids the same way -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help@opensuse.org

This is about using --previous for msgmerge

Probably. Martin Schlander writes:

So if this feature could be supported by openSUSE POTs/POs for 11.2, it would make life so much better for translators.

Should be possible. I'll give it a try. -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help@opensuse.org
