zigbert and gettext

[L18L]

Please test version 5.02

NLS has German (of course) and Russian (converted from old system)

So you can change between de, ru and English

Next I will try to convert the other languages.......

[L18L]

...I haven't change set-language section of pburn script so translation only works if I choose or type in 'ru' language in Preferences....

Hope you understand my solution in pfind ( used it in ymount some time ago ) Search for LANGUAGE NEW_LANGUAGE and LANGUAGES

Sorry I cannot help very much with testing because I do NOT have CD burner

Gettext has the advantage of making the code more readable (also for me ). That is a good thing for the community. Converting the locales-file would sure be good for backward compatibility, but for moving the project further, I think updating the code itself is the way to go.

OK, the first trial to place gettext inline the code.
But for multiple lines, i think we are better to stay the substitution method, that is:

Code: Select all

export LOCXXX=$(gettext "First line
Second lne")
export DIALOG="<text><input>echo -n "\$LOCXXX"</inout></text>"

Extract the attached, add executable, place it at /root/my-applications/bin.
# zigbert2gettext --help
zigbert2gettext 0.1
Convert zigbert apps into gettext version.
usage: zigbert2gettext [PATH_TO_MAIN_SCRIPT] [TEXT_DOMAIN]
PATH_TO_MAIN_SCRIPT - example: /usr/local/pburn/pburn

But still you need to remove manually some code, loading the locales file, from the converted main script.

Hi guys
I am a bit out of time for Puppy right now.
I will try to catch up within a few days.


Thank you all for your effort to push Puppy forward.

I did some tests on pBurn. Tried to burn CD-R. Seems OK. I have also completed translation of mo-file: just have copied lines from old locale file in Poedit with some modifications.
I have also made some changes to previous pet: commented out set-locale this time.
I changed some translation lines for example:
Blank Disc - To blank the disc
and
Blank Disc - The disc is blank
have different translation so I have added whitespace to 'Blank Disc ' in func.
Same with 'Burn ISO-image' button in GUI: to burn and the burn have different translations.

exit 0

And in the created /usr/local/ptiming-converted just change this:

Code: Select all

##set language

#LANGUAGE="`ls -1 $APPDIR/locals/ | grep ${LANG%.*}`"
##fallback to macrolanguage if available (ISO 639-1 two letter code: en, es, fr, etc.)
#if [ -z $LANGUAGE ]; then LANGUAGE="`ls -1 $APPDIR/locals/ | grep ${LANG%_*}:`"; fi
#[ "$LANGUAGE" != "en_US:english" ] && . $APPDIR/locals/$LANGUAGE 2> /dev/null 
#

Pburn is updated with gettext - thanks a lot.

I have some time today - let's see what I get done..... will be back after the weekend


Sigmund

[L18L]

Pburn is updated with gettext

downloaded version 3.7.4 shows as 3.7.3

Anyhow, I have converted all languages to pburn.mo using rodin.s `s version above.

So everyone will have to start not from zero


---

edit
going to test version now

[zigbert]

Please test version 5.02

$TEXTDOMAIN=pfilesearch in your pFind. I guess it's because there only can be one text domain, and code from pFilesearch is embedded into pFind.

That means NLS files for pFilesearch will contain gettext-strings for both pFind and pFilesearch? Not the best solution for those who uses only pFilesearch as a backend for pBurn/pMusic.... My intention is to separate the backend and frontend.

What is the downside of having an unique $TEXTDOMAIN=pfind?


Sigmund

[L18L]

$TEXTDOMAIN=pfilesearch in your pFind. I guess it's because there only can be one text domain, and code from pFilesearch is embedded into pFind.

Good guess!
That was before Barry changed momanager.
Now everything is possible:
I will separate them and make a version 5.03
TEXTDOMAIN=pfind
and pfilesearch using TEXTDOMAIN=pfilesearch containing the messages from pfilesearch only.

done
included is german pfind.mo so you can test changinging of GUI language

for testers only, delete /root/.pfind/pfindrc

a lot of warnings like:
/usr/local/pfind/func: line 4: /tmp/pfind-TREE6413: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden <-- not found
cat: /tmp/pfind-treeitems6413: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden <-- not found

[zigbert]

Ok, updated stuff


Thank you guys

I have started on the next cycle of pMusic, and will add gettext to it

[rodin.s]

Pburn doesn't switch to Russian automatically. But it does when 'ru' is selected in Preferences. Usually gettext doesn't need this manual language switching. The language of an application is defined by global locale settings of the system.

Does this occur only for pBurn or is it so for all the zigbert gettext apps?


Sigmund

[vicmz]

To me that only happens with Pburn so far, Pmusic and Pprocess are usually set to the same language of the system. I don't know about the others, I haven't tried them yet.

Running pburn from latest precise 5.2.69
added
echo LANGUAGE=$LANGUAGE
to line 271 of /usr/local/pburn/pburn

# pburn
LANGUAGE=auto
EXIT="Ready"

gettext is using a LANGUAGE named auto here but for auto there is no pburn.mo

gettext uses automagically user´s language from LANG
-> the option auto has to be removed from the list of available languages
LANGUAGE is a system variable, do use it in its intended purpose only: http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/man ... E-variable

Hope that helps

Yes, it happens in pBurn only.
Interesting explanation from L18L.

[zigbert]

Ok, I have changed $LANGUAGE to $MY_LANGUAGE, and added 2 lines after reading rc file. I had no idea gettext relies on $LANGUAGE.

Code: Select all

#set variables
. $CONFIG 2> /dev/null
export LANGUAGE="$MY_LANGUAGE"
[ "$MY_LANGUAGE" = "auto" ] && export LANGUAGE="${LANG%%_*}"
