Re: [drupal-devel] Admin Help writing instructions - 60 patches coming soon
And here I just translated Drupal to Afrikaans and now all the help texts get updated. Bah! This will be a good time to figure out how to MAINTAIN an update. I have only started from scratch.
You can merge your translations against POT files from a later version and msgmerge will try to fit good matches to the new strings from the old ones.
A brief search for "msgmerge" got about 10000 results, and when refining this, I finally heard of one for Windows, but it is part of the Cygwin package. Isn't there a stand-alone Windows port of msgmerge that anyone know of? Once I get it, I will
I also have questions with regards to translating contributed modules. Where do we put them? Are these translations sent to the module developers directly?
They are put into a /po subdirectory. You need to create a POT file first using the phpextractor script. Mail me if you want one for specific contrib modules.
I don't have CVS access, and I won't get it, so I can translate it, but can't put it in the /po subdirectory. I will play around with the extractor, so that I can do this myself, because I need to learn somehow, sometime :) Maybe I should invest a bit of time in getting myself a Linux machine. I have installed Linux once, but that is the same as saying I have installed Windows. Heh... Any fool can install it, but can any fool install it (and set it up) RIGHT? I have only translated Core, but another South African, Tiaan, has translated several modules. Since I can't upload it, can we do it again as we did the previous time with my translations, Gerhard? I will upload one zip file with all the translations. Regards, Kobus

If you're using poEdit you can use "Catalog -> Update from POT File..." (I'm assuming poEdit since you mention Windows).

Morten answered this. Maybe we should puit it into the translator's guide (if it isn't there).

Yeah, that will be ok. Cheers, Gerhard
