Hello,

I am trying to use kbabel to translate Drupal modules (drupal.org).

I've been searching for a couple of days, but I still don't quite get the workflow and the setups required in order to import an old translation into a new one each time the .pot file is updated.

http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/phb/translation.html here is part of the answer but it assumes we are translating a KDE project.

I have been reading the kbabel handbook, but like most KDE handbooks, it describes what is obvious but does not explain what is not. If it can help, I can file a bug report at bugs.kde.org.

Here are my notes so far:

The workflow is unclear. I was looking for 'import translation' but couldn't find anything useful.

There is the concept of PO compendium, which is unclear. The default are set for KDE translations.

help:/kbabel/compendium.html is not very clear. It doesn't say anything about creating your own compendium.

help:/kbabel/dictionaries.html doesn't say how to create a new translation database.

Here is what I have: an new, empty fr.po (copy of updated .pot file) an old, partially translated fr-old.po What I was trying to do at first was open fr.po with kbabel and 'import' the old .po file into it... but apparently that's not the way to do it.

Part of the procedure is explained in the link above, but I am still missing some important steps.

Blessings,
