[FE-discuss] managing translations

[Ian Bicking]

So, I think there's some out-of-date things with translations, and some
patches to apply. I don't know much about translations, but here's a
script I made to get the .pot file generated, and refresh .mo files from
the .po files. Can someone tell me if this is the right way to do it?
(I also committed it, as yet un-run, at
http://svn.colorstudy.com/FormEncode/trunk/regen-lang)

It seems fine AFAIK, but why not using a Makefile? IMHO it would be more
appropriate as it would easily allow to compile .mo file only if the .po
file has been updated. In addition, maybe you could try to use msgmerge
which allows to propagate changes from .pot file to .po files
automatically. I can write a Makefile quickly for FormEncode if you want
to as I did it some days before for a university assignment...
