[Bf-committers] changes in translation (no more .pot in trunk) was: hi all

[Dalai Felinto]

Hi Yousef

I updated the .pot (and .po's) in the blender-translation page yesterday
(before Campbell's commit).
I will update it again later today, in case Campbell's commit has added new
things.

To merge .po's we do not rely on svn, but in the msgmerge software (which is
part of gettext). It's supposed to manage those things. The reason why
Campbell removed the .pot is that we don't really need this file permanently
and it's really easy to re-generate it when we want to update the .po's and
generate the .mo's.

In fact I committed gettext binaries under
/lib/win[dows|64]/binaries/gettext so it becomes easy to update then in
windows as well.

By the way, the current .mo file of trunk is using the flipped arabic .po
you created. It's based on trunk's po though, since we still need to collect
all the .pos from the branches to commit to trunk (Cong Cong was going to do
that, otherwise I can do). It's important to keep the .po "unflipped"
though, otherwise merging will be hell. I still would like to have a 100%
python solution for this (may I can help with that?). So it can be part of
our language building tools.

I hope that answered part of your question.
Please test the update of your .po and let me know how it goes.

Regards,
Dalai
