General

Translations are saved in the folder po/. You find the reference in po/templates/.pot. The actual translation files can be found at po//.po .

In order to use the commands below you need to have the gettext'' utilities (''msgcat'', ''msgfmt'', ''msgmerge) installed on your system.

Rebuild po files

If you want to rebuild the translations after you made changes to a package this is an easy way:

./build/i18n-scan.pl applications/[package] > po/templates/[application].pot
./build/i18n-update.pl po [application].po

Note: Some packages share translation files, in this case you need to scan through all their folders. The first command from above should then be:

./build/i18n-scan.pl applications/[package-1] applications/[package-2] applications/[package-n] > po/templates/[application].pot
