Yet another post to manage automatically you po files…

We are using i18ndude to manage translation for the Plone bundle and helpers script are in PloneTranslations/utils. If we can do this for the whole bundle you can do it too for your products.

Here come an example of a script that manage translations for a Plone 2.5 product:

#!/bin/sh

##
## First we work on the 'plone' domain and then on the local domain to define below.
##

PLONEPRODUCTS="/path/to/plone/bundle/Products"
LOCALDOMAIN="product_name"
POPREFIX="product_name_in_lowercase"

##
## Domain: 'plone'
##

##
## Search all translations in 'plone' domain and rebiuld a new catalog
i18ndude rebuild-pot --exclude build --pot "./i18n/i18ndude-plone.pot" \
                     --create plone "./"

##
## Filter out all msgids that are already translated in PloneTranslations
i18ndude filter "./i18n/i18ndude-plone.pot" \
                "${PLONEPRODUCTS}/PloneTranslations/i18n/plone.pot" > "./i18n/filtered-plone.pot"

##
## Merge generated file with manual maintained pot file then with the current catalog
i18ndude merge --pot "./i18n/${POPREFIX}-plone.pot" \
               --merge "./i18n/filtered-plone.pot" \
               --merge2 "./i18n/manual-plone.pot"

##
## Cleaning
rm "./i18n/filtered-plone.pot" "./i18n/i18ndude-plone.pot"

##
## Refresh po files for 'plone' domain
i18ndude sync --pot "./i18n/${POPREFIX}-plone.pot" \
                    "./i18n/${POPREFIX}-plone-fr.po" "./i18n/${POPREFIX}-plone-en.po"

##
## Domain: LOCALDOMAIN
##

##
## Search all translations in ${LOCALDOMAIN} domain and rebiuld a new catalog
i18ndude rebuild-pot --exclude build --pot "./i18n/i18ndude.pot" \
                     --create ${LOCALDOMAIN} "./"
##
## generated.pot is given by ArchGenXML during product generation
i18ndude merge --pot "./i18n/${POPREFIX}.pot" \
               --merge "./i18n/i18ndude.pot" \
               --merge2 "./i18n/generated.pot"
##
## Cleaning
rm "./i18n/i18ndude.pot"

##
## Refresh po files for LOCALDOMAIN
i18ndude sync --pot "./i18n/${POPREFIX}.pot" \
                    "./i18n/${POPREFIX}-fr.po" "./i18n/${POPREFIX}-en.po"

##
## Check for missing translations in all page templates
echo
echo "#########################################################"
echo "##"
echo "## untranslated messages summary report"
echo
i18ndude find-untranslated -s `find skins -name "*.*p?"`

echo "To display the full report use:"
echo "i18ndude find-untranslated \`find skins -name \"*.*p?\"\`"

exit 0
