Bug 143991 – gettext (i18n) support for livecd-tools

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Piotr Malinski 2006-08-15 05:14:15 UTC]

livecd-tools contain net-setup which is a small app used quite often (during instalation) and i18n support for it would look nice.

I've attached modified net-setup and livecd-functions.sh from livecd-tools 1.0.33
modifications:
- each string for translation has $ at start
net-setup has also:
------------------------------
TEXTDOMAINDIR=/usr/share/locale
TEXTDOMAIN=net-setup
------------------------------
which points it to the translations. 

- net-setup.po contains strings from net-setup and livecd-functions.sh (1 script can't use more that 1 *mo file)


- to make *po file out of bash script: bash -D filename.sh
modification made basing on: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/localization.html

So what do I do with the attachments from #3 and #4 exactly?

My only real concern with this is that these files will be changing quite a bit in the near future, and I won't be able to update the translations, at all.

I guess I'll need to come back and revisit this at some later time.
