In some cases it might be neccessary for you to merge an existing po file with a newer pot file.
What tools do we have
- msgfmt - A tool to check the syntax of po and pot files. The syntax is
msgfmt -c file.po
- msgmerge - A tool to merge existing po files with newer pot files. The syntax is
msgmerge old.po new.pot > new.po
You can find more informations about both in the respective man pages.
Let's say you are the Quenya i18n commiter, then you do have the file urpmi.pot_qya.po. Now you use
msgmerge urpmi.pot_qya.po urpmi.pot > qya.po
You can now finish the translations using a desktop translation tool like poedit or lokalize and then commit it to git.
