-How can I update an existing po file?
--------------------------------------
-
-It requires a bit of work to get started, but once you are set up,
-the procedure should be relatively easy:
-
-1) Getting ready
-
-Get and install gettext (available from ftp://alpha.gnu.org). Read the
-documentation for gettext. Then get the latest LyX distribution including
-patches, and unpack it in your home directory. It is yet better if you checkout
-the CVS version of LyX.
-Read the README in the LyX distribution.
-Check the mailing list archives to learn what is going on at the moment.
-Consider subscribing to the developer's mailing list, lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org.
-
-2) Preparing a patch
-
-Now do (where XX stands for the code of your language):
-
- cp -R lyx-*.*.* lyx.new
- (Which makes a copy of the source distribution for
- you to change, but you should work in a CVS workarea)
- cd lyx.new/po/
-
- make XX.pox
- (It merges the po file into the temporary file XX.pox)
- emacs XX.pox
- (Using po-mode. Emacs is convenient for po editing, but not
- mandatory.)
- (Make all necessary changes in XX.pox, and save.)
- mv XX.pox XX.po
- rm XX.pox~
- (To remove Emacs autosave.)
- make XX.gmo
- (Update the ChangeLog file.)
-
- cd ..
-
- (Maybe update lib/CREDITS)
-
- cvs diff -u > XX_po_update.patch
- (Or whatever good method to have a patch in unified diff format)
-
-3) Submitting the patch
-
- Check your patch and mail it to lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org
-
-Thanks!
