Converting our in House Scripts to PerlGTK

[Neal ManBear]

Great!

New icon:

I don't know Perl(yet), but I'm willing to learn it(I'm still young ).
Anything I can do(when I've finished some Perl tutorials)?

[Neal ManBear]

Great!

New icon:

Is this new icon to be used for gezSwitch4 also? 

Yes, please use it.

[Neal ManBear]

I had to resize it to 48 x 41 pixels.  Is that ok?

Certainly it is okay. Create whatever size you need.

New version of gezSwitch4:
http://www.box.net/shared/5b81xo0rap

Changes:
Removed "Update" button, because all it did was update the bootsplash file used by switch-themes.
This button served almost no purpose because the boosplash file used by switch-themes is already updated when a theme is changed in gezSwitch4.

Added "Refresh" button to reload the list of themes.
Changed the "Apply", "Quit", and "Reload" buttons to use stock items. This should give these buttons support for built-in GTK translations so no one has to translate them.

And finally:
Added support for translations of the main strings. **Needs to be tested** 


Update on the status of the update notifier:
All of Travis's suggestions have been implemented.
Currently, the only thing holding it back from a new release is my virtualbox troubles.
This prevents me from testing the new changes.
Hopefully, I can get this back up and running soon.

I believe that the .po files go in /usr/share/locale.

[maik3531]

Yes a testing package would be better. Are you going to build one?

I have taken as version 1.3 because I used the existing spec.

I have installed the latest version of gezSwitch4 in Zen mini which I have converted to Spanish with addlocale.
Not all things get translated.  Do I need to copy the messages.po file somewhere special?  I've never tested locale stuff.

That looks simply awesome!

Great work !

When it's finished, please send POT files for translations...

[Mark342]

Ongoto, nothing has been translated yet.
A translator needs to use poedit to translate the strings.
Then the po is made into a mo.
The mo is shipped with the application.
The buttons using stock items are translated already because the translations are provided by GTK.

This guide on the forum should still work (with extra info in TRANSLATE.txt)

If a translation doesn't exist, it will default back to the original English text.

The description under the link is only for bash scripts not for Perl Translation

-L DE
Die Beschreibung unter dem Link gilt nur für Bash Scripte nicht für Perl Übersetzung

in Perl with (N (TEXT)

Example:
BEGIN { unshift @::textdomains, 'update-notifier' }

    my $notif1 = Gtk2::Notify->new_with_status_icon(N('System update status',
        'Please wait, checking for new updates', 'networking_configuration_section', $status_icon));

Great work !

When it's finished, please send POT files for translations...

Apparently, po files generated by xgettext are the same as pot files.
http://www.hagelnx.com/prog/782

Nevertheless, I have updated the tar.gz file so it contains a pot file.
I also discovered that it needs to be named the same name as the textdomain of the program.
So this was changed as well.
This now includes an example.po file that reverses the english words instead of translating them.

I've tested it and it seems to work fine.
TRANSLATE.txt was updated a bit.

[rubentje1991]

Will this work be included in a next version of PCC?
Or is there still much work to be done?


[yes, I know it's an old topic; but it came in my mind - and maybe I just overlooked something (and thus already available); or it got unnoticed during time]


Thanks in advance! 

[Neal ManBear]

Don't know when, Ruben. When I've got caught up a bit, I will take another look.

Take your time..... just wanted to mention it (and no, I don't want to give you stress..... but hurry up you  )
Thanks for replying
