This is not very useful for +po-locations, so we've provided a script to generate .po files in a +better order. Do: + + ./regen.sh en_US.po + +(substituting "en_US" of course) to regenerate your .po file with the +entries sorted as follows: + + * Top-level regions (continents, etc), sorted alphabetically + + * Countries, sorted alphabetically + + * Timezone names, not really especially sorted + + * State/Province names, sorted by country, then alphabetically + within each country + + * City names, sorted by country, then alphabetically within + each country + +All of the region and country names are immediately visible when +adding a new location in the mateweather-applet, and all of the country +and timezone names are immediately visible when setting the timezone +of a location in the clock applet. Thus, every translation will likely +want to have all of those strings translated. + +The state/province and city names are more likely to only be seen by +people living in those states/cities, and so are less critical to have +100% translation of; they are sorted by country to make it easy to +translate the city names in countries where your language is spoken +first, and worry about the city names in other countries later. + + +If you don't want to use this script, you don't have to, but you will +need to use intltool 0.40.3 or later to rebuild your .po files from +now on, because earlier versions don't have msgctxt support. + + +Do note there is no need for a LINGUAS file in this directory, and the +po/LINGUAS file shouldn't be modified for changes in this directory. |
