Hi Lex,

thanks for the reply. I tried to use the tool but xgettext does not output any strings for me. I tried to run it like this:

xgettext -D . -o - *.c

Also used some variations but no success. Can you give me a hint?

Thanks, Lars

Hello All,

I got a question about the translation files. If I have a translated string like in the example below, does the comment with the source location have a meaning for the translation tool or is it "only" an information for other developers?

#. Windows #: ../webhelper/src/gwh-plugin.c:541 msgid "Windows" msgstr "Fenster"

Thanks for any answers in advance.

Its a generated comment from the tool that extracts the strings to be translated.

See https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/PO-Files.html

Cheers Lex

Hello All,

I solved my problem with running xgettext from the command line. But I got one question left:

How can I update the language files using the geany-plugins makefile?

My own plugin is build and installed properly if I run "make" and "make install". I also added my source files to "POTFILES.IN" which makes them appear in "POTFILES" after buidling. I also ran "make update-po" inside the "po" folder but my plugin's strings do not appear in any ".po" files.

Regards, Lars

Hi Lex,

ignore it, found the solution on stackoverflow.com:

xgettext -k_ -D . -o - *.c

Greetings, Lars

Hi Lex,

yes, e.g. _("Hello World!"). Strings get translated properly if I add them to the translation completely manually e.g. into "de.po".

After you mentioned the tool I thought that that should also be possible using the makefiles. Or is the makefile only updating the strings and not adding new ones? But I saw untranslated strings from other plugins so I assume the first is wrong and it should also add new strings.

Greetings, Lars

Have to ask the obvious question first, you have marked the strings as translatable?

Hi Frank,

I did not run autogen. Only configure.

No my source is not yet available online. I am close to a first usable version but only wanted to upload it after the "householding" is done (like translation at least to german).

Greetings, Lars

Did you rerun autogen after adding the files? Is your source somewhere available?

Hi Frank, hi Lex,

thanks for the help so far. My code is now available on github under https://github.com/LarsGit223/geany-plugins, see branch "workbench".

See initial commit https://github.com/LarsGit223/geany-plugins/commit/87b6d5c5019fd0786029e2efd... for the files that I changed. Aside from the plugin's source code in folder "workbench" I changed the following files:

- configure.ac - makefile.am - po/POTFILES.in - build/workbench.m4

Greetings, Lars

Will have a look. On first view it looks okish. Need to have a closer look.

Hi,

any news on this? Maybe I should just go ahead and type it in by hand if the comments doesn't matter? Also I wanted to say that I did not mention before, that I changed the makefiles manually. Maybe I did miss something. Is there an automated way of adding a new plugin?

Well, actually I've just cloned your branch and run ./autogen.sh on it. After changing into po-folder and running make update-po the new strings were added to de.po and other po files. So everything fine from my end by now.

Cheers, Frank

Now I got the strings to. In a clean doirectory. (Also I did try make clean in the other directory)

Thanks a lot for your help. Sorry, for wasting your time.

You are welcome. Looking forward to a PR for the new plugin ;)
