msgmerge compendium feature

Hi,

I have changed the Makefile.GNU to use the compendium feature of the msgmerge program.

When updating a po file, e.g. with

make -f Makefile.GNU --assume-new=pot/foo/bar/baz.pot \ po/xx/foo/bar/baz.po

the new code will look for files named "Compendium.po" (capital "C") in po/xx/foo/bar, po/xx/foo, and /po/xx. These compendium files should contain common translations to be used as defaults.

For now the compendium files have to be maintained manually (without a common pot file). Have a look at my sample files po/de/menus/Compendium.po and po/de/menus/colors/Compendium.po.

If you have any problems, you can disable this feature with

make -f Makefile.GNU ... COMPENDIUM=""

If there are no problems, I'll change Makefile.am too.

Bye, Ulf

This is great!
I actually created a Compendium from all the Swedish files using the pocompendium script from Translate Toolkit, i.e.

cd po/sv pocompendium Compendium.po -d .

That will give me a Compendium.po with all unique strings (~ 10,000). This also shows that I have translated roughly 10% of all strings.

The problem I still got is that make will delete some of my PO files and replace them with new empty ones

Regards, Daniel

I noticed this too, but wasn't able to reproduce it.

Still don't know when or why it happens...
