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

[ValterVB]

I have some problem to update the po file.
I have compiled Blender wih SCONS on Win 7 64 bit, I have changed 
update_pot.py for the problem with GETTEXT.
Some Solution?

In step 1 I have the following error:
---
Written 9165 messages to: 'D:\\BlenderSVN\\blender\\po\\messages.txt'
Error: Not freed memory blocks: 1
RNA_enum_items_add len: 320 00000000034F5A08

Blender quit
---
In step 2 No error

In step 3 I have the following Message:
---
*** Running 'D:\\BlenderSVN\\blender\\po\\update_po.py' ***

msgmerge --update --backup=none --lang=it D:\BlenderSVN\blender\po\it.po

I talked with Sergey and this is the current workflow. We can add it to
//po/README.txt if other translators will run into that. But the basic
information is there already:

(1) run update_msg.py (it needs compiled Blender)
(2) run update_pot.py - gather the latest strings from Blender
(3) run update_po.py - sync in the new changes from trunk
(4) run clean_po.py - remove the no longer needed msgstr/msgid
(5) run merge_po.py to bring the new .po file into trunk's .po

If you actually want to discard the old translations from trunk's ar.po it's
better to cook your own .py for that (trivial to adapt the arabic_to_utf.py
for that as you know). Given that this is the exception and not the rule I
don't think we need this officially in trunk. This would happen between (4)
and (5).

* Note: you likely want to run clean_po.py in your new .po to avoid
translate strings that are not needed.

(can someone please share this in the translators mailing-list?)
