| 2 Printrun Internationalization | |

| 7 Printrun is in the very early stages of being internationalized. | |
| 8 | |
| 9 The pronterface.py now uses gettext for the messages it generates. | |
| 10 The corresponding pronterface.pot file is at locale/pronterface.pot | |
| 11 and was generated using | |
| 12 | |
| 13 pygettext -o locale/pronterface.pot *.py printrun/*.py printrun/*/*.py | |
| 14 | |
| 15 followed by minor edits to the generated header. | |
| 16 | |
| 17 This template is the basis for all pronterface mesage catalogs. Right | |
| 18 now there is only one, for German. New ones can be created: | |
| 19 | |
| 20 # Create new pronterface message catalog for a different language | |
| 21 newlang="es" # use the correct code for your language | |
| 22 mkdir -p locale/${newlang}/LC_MESSAGES | |
| 23 cp locale/pronterface.pot locale/${newlanguage}/LC_MESSAGES/pronterface.po | |
| 24 cd locale/${newlanguage}/LC_MESSAGES/ | |
| 25 # Edit the .po file to add messages for newlang | |
| 26 msgfmt -o pronterface.mo pronterface.po | |
| 27 | |
| 28 To update a previously created message catalog from the template, use : | |
| 29 | |
| 30 msgmerge -U locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/pronterface.po locale/pronterface.pot | |
| 31 | |
| 32 As currently coded, the default location for these message catalogs is | |
| 33 | |
| 34 /usr/share/pronterface/locale/ | |
| 35 | |
| 36 So, to install the catalogs, copy them to there: | |
| 37 | |
| 38 sudo cp -a locale /usr/share/pronterface/ | |
| 39 | |
| 40 To test pronterface in a new language, you can temporarily set LANG to | |
| 41 the language you are testing, for example | |
| 42 | |
| 43 LANG=de python pronterface.py | |
| 44 | |
| 45 Further automation for localization and packaging of Printrun would be | |
| 46 nice to see, but is not here yet. | |
