-The po/ directory includes two perlscripts, which is done to help
-making the translations fully uptodate.
-
-The first script is called update.pl and is supposed to be run like this:
-
- ./update.pl [OPTIONS] ...LANGCODE
-
-This will updates the pot file (the po template, generated from the source code)
-and merge them with the translations po files.
-
-For instance to do this for Danish, type the following
-
- ./update.pl da
-
-
-The update.pl script also supports other options, they are:
-
- -V, --version shows the version
- -H, --help shows this help page
- -P, --pot only generates the potfile
- -M, --maintain search for missing files in POTFILES.in
-
-Especially the --maintain option is very handy for package maintainer, to check
-if you included all the files that have marked strings in the POTFILES.in, so
-they will be in the generated po template, the socalled pot file.
-
-There is though one thing to take notice of with this option, please check the
-configure.in file to make sure that the files you add to POTFILES.in are being
-build, otherwise this can leed to "make dist" throuble.
-
-
-The other utility is the desk.pl script, which will check the cvs module for
-missing translation in files like *.desktop, *.directory, *.soundlist and so on.
-
-Run the script like this:
-
- ./desk.pl [OPTIONS] ...LANGCODE ENTRY
-
-An example use could be.
-
- ./desk.pl da
-
-which will check all the files for missing Name[da] entries, or
-
- ./desk.pl no Comment
-
-which will check all the files for missing Comment[no] entries. "Comment" can
-here be replaced with whatever you like
-
-All scripts support the --help option for further help, though it's not very
-extensive for the moment.
