Here's a useful utility for translators.


Using code I got from forum member RSH
I have built a right click menu utility to convert
mo files to po, then convert them back after you have
edited the po file with your text editor. It seems to work
properly and is quite fast, but I'd like comments....

Instructions : Just rightclick on mo file, edit then rightclick on
po file to convert back to mo

Requirements: devx file for your distribution must be loaded.
There is a warning message if not loaded.( see image)

German and French translations are done. That's all I know

If people are frustrated that they must have the devx file loaded
to do translations.....

I have put the dependencies into the pet package so the
user doesn't have to have the devx file loaded...

....But it adds more size to pet package.
Upgraded to version 0.4

Hi Don,

Just discovered your app late last night and briefly played with it.

It sure looks like a very nice and efficient tool. It doesn't have the 'omnipotence' of momanager, but then it also doesn't have momanager's quirkiness.

The way I see it now is that it compliments momanager very well.
Fast and ideal for quickly changing the mo-file text.

I have not yet tried it with devx unplugged. But that possibility is of course appealing...

Is it correct to conclude 'build-gettext' is kind of 'NoArch' and can be used in all flavours of Puppy?

I'm surprised you did not get more replies to this thread...
Wonder what the localisation experts here think about it.

Maybe they can see a conflict between your app and the way Barry has set up internationalisation? (I'm not aware of such conflict, but that doesn't say much )

Thanks.

I find it useful to take a quick look inside a mo file.
