I assume you did not download the "gimp" repository but "gimp-help".

Put po files in po folder
Then run autogen.sh
Then trying to use make html-mr command to see the translation on local machine

Are you following
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp-help/blob/master/TRANSLATING ? If so, you want to mention that for clarity.

But its giving error make: *** No rule to make target ' Can anybody will help to solve this?

Please provide the lines before that error, for example by posting the complete output to paste.gnome.org and providing a link here.

Hi,

I have no up-to-date gimp-help repository here and it's a long time since I have worked with the help files, so I'm not sure if I can really help.
However, let's see...

For localization of GIMP User-Manual we clone gimp user manual repository into folder on /home/snehalata/SBS/gimp-help-2.

Modified configure.ac

What exactly did you modify?

In my (some years old) configure.ac the only variable you might want to edit is ALL_LINGUAS: add mr to the list of languages.

But if I remember correctly, you could just call ./autogen.sh LANGUAGES="en mr"
and it should work as well.

[...] and added files paths in AC_CONFIG_FILES

What? AC_CONFIG_FILES should not contain any language dependent files.

Then created a new folder named mr in po folder of GIMP repository We put then all translated .po files into mr folder We run ./autogen.sh command

See above: try
./autogen.sh LANGUAGES="en mr"
unless you are interested in all translations.

We referred the link
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp-help/blob/master/TRANSLATING

Ah, nice, I didn't know this one. Now see item 3.

Hopefully the po files you copied to po/mr are the edited versions of those po files generated with
make po-mr
(see item 6.)

Then we are running make html-mr command to see user manual of local machine in translated form that is in marathi But we are getting error like this:

root@Snehalata-Desktop:/home/snehalata/SBS/gimp-help-2# make html-mr [POT] pot/preface.pot
/bin/bash: ../../../../../tools/xml2po.py: No such file or directory

There is definitely something wrong, the "../../../../.." part is the value of the internal "top_srcdir" variable and should be ".". What's you current working directory? Is it really /home/snehalata/SBS/gimp-help-2? Then ls -l tools/xml2po.py
should work.

BTW, it looks you are working as user "root"; if so, it's a very bad idea, you should change ownership of the cloned repo to your ordinary user account and re-login as that user.

Then try make html-mr
and if that fails try
make -n html-mr
to see if you get more information about what's going on.
