[Bf-committers] Arabic translation support in the UI script

[Dalai Felinto]

Hi Yousef ,

Blender is no longer storing the .pot file in trunk. The reason is that this
file changes a lot, and is really easy to rebuild running the scripts in the
.po folder.

Would it help if I send you the latest blender.pot and the ar.po resulting
from that? You would still need to run a .po merge.
Maybe we could take the resulting trunk ar.po, clean all the msgstr and then
use the merge_po.py scrip.
The script was written by Sergey, CC here.
@Sergey, is that right? any other suggestions here?


By the way, here [1] you can find my new take in the arabic_to_utf script.
There are a few changes making it to look more python-like (I got some of
your changes there). The result will still differ from your take on it. The
reason(s) is: (1) I believe I need to check for both side-connections, not
only the start. (2) since your 1st script it seems you didn't check whether
the char itself can connect to the left/right (always checking only the next
chars). (3) if you don't increase (g) inside the loop for
the laaam/laaaa/laaahz/.... you will end up processing the following char
twice.

* I'm not so sure about the (3), but the (1) and (2) reflects the little I
understand of the arabic language (reading your code + wikipedia + help from
a friend)

Regards,
Dalai
