Modify script to do mass (file) translation instead of 1 file at a time.

Here we are. I don't know if it really works like expected.

I've modified the script in a way that it creates a new file oldfile.pot <-> oldfile_translated.pot

I'll append the script to this posting.

Wow, Markus that works a treat thanks so much for all your hard work I really, really, do appreciate it. It does create the file as you described but I am fine with that. I would like to add you to the credits of the translation file how would you prefer I do this? PM your answer if you wish and I'll add it as soon as I can.

P.S. Sorry for not replying much sooner I was called to work today and have only just got home.

Thanks again, muchly appreciated.

Well, I'm happy to read that it works for you. I'd suggest that you learn a little bit of Perl, it can be very helpful.

BTW: if you want the translated files to reside in the "translated" directory, you could simply add the directory to the path of the open-command

Code:

open ">>$newfile";

becomes

Code:

open ">>./translated/$newfile";

and then you could also delete the line which creates the new filename

Code:

$newfile =~ s/\.po/_translated\.po/;

But different filenames for input and output files help to not mess things up.

Thanks again Markush. I will give those tips a go on the weekend when I can sit and take a good long look at it. Last night after I posted I translated all of Gnome 3.6 ui. I am now proof reading it, that is something that will never change, and picking up little bits I can add to the script for translation that have been left out of the original file.

Thanks again
