po files parsing

[hermestrismi]

A translation question.
I want to begin to work for translating Wesnoth-manual and -manpages and there is a lot of confusing codes (almost every sentences is a test for me) . So, there a way to parse a .po file directly into the game to know if there is a translation incompatibility?

I dont know...but I think you can...use that software..."PoEdit"? To inspect this. I know it's a freemium, but I think you can compile a 100% free version from the poedit Github. I have not tried it, but the egallager person might know how.

With -manpages and -manual, those textdomains aren't shown within the game inself. The files in -manpages are shown by the Unix man command, while -manual generates HTML to show in a web browser.

I use PoEdit among other utils altogether already but I didn't know there is a free version (it will help me if there is one) but it isn't sufficient. While PoEdit tell you if the sentence is 'equal' to the source, it doesn't tell if [ something ] or B-< something > is a code or a plain text. I m seeking for something to test directly the sentence looks after it is read by the game

Good to know. Is this mean I can create a html example and past the translated sentences to it?

Assuming Debian or Ubuntu, this should generate the manual's HTML file to open in a browser:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/po4a-translate -f docbook -L utf8 -m doc/manual/manual.en.xml -p po/wesnoth-manual/ar.po -l doc/manual/manual.ar.xml --keep 0
/usr/bin/xsltproc --nonet --stringparam callout.graphics 0 --stringparam navig.graphics 0 --stringparam admon.textlabel 1 --stringparam admon.graphics 0 --stringparam html.stylesheet ./styles/manual.css /etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/xhtml.xsl doc/manual/manual.ar.xml > doc/manual/manual.ar.html

If you have a full build environment, scons update-po4a should run that, although it will run it without the --keep 0, which means that it will only generate the HTML file for languages that are a certain amount translated, by default 80%.

I published wesnoth-manual (70%) but I didn't find it in the Wiki of wesnoth. Is there something wrong?

[octalot]

The default for po4a is to only generate documents once they're 80% translated, so it doesn't generate it yet, sorry.

I suspect that getting it listed on the Wiki will need Ivanovic or Pentarctagon to edit the Wiki page.

Thank you for the explanation. I will once I finish it. Right now, I want to congratulate myself for my ego needs some cheers
