1 I have a few questions about translating PO file:
3 1. Assume I copied `ikiwiki.pot` file to `pl.po` file and translated it
4 from English to Polish. How can I check that my `pl.po` file works good?
5 I have some experience with building Debian packages, but I don't know
6 too much about working with PO files in Debian packages.
8 > Try putting it into the po/ directory and running make and make install
9 > in there, that should create the .mo and install it somewhere
10 > appropriate. ikiwiki should display translated messages when building the
13 2. I'll send you my translation when I finish it, of course. But what about
14 updating my PO file? Should I send it to you for every ikiwiki issue?
15 Maybe you should give write access to ikiwiki repository for translators
18 > I recently set up a git repository mirroring the main svn repository (see
19 > [[download]]) and one idea is that perhaps translators can use that for a
20 > distributed revision control system that I can merge back from into svn.
21 > I can set up accounts for svn, but as it's on my own personal server and
22 > not a sourceforge/alioth like thing, it's a bit of a pain and maintenance
25 >> OK, I've picked up Subversion for your ikiwiki, so I can get into
28 3. What is the best way to update my PO file when you do some changes in
29 `ikiwiki.pot` file? Should I translate my PO file from scratch or
30 can I do diff for old and new `ikiwiki.pot` file and update only differences?

39 >>> I'm not a translator, so I don't really know..
41 >>>> OK, I hope I handle it :)
43 4. What about "gettexting" button titles and link names? Do you really
44 think that there should be hardcoded in ikiwiki templates? --Pawel
46 > I don't know, really. Recai's approach seems to show promise.
48 >> BTW, why does ikiwiki number my questions wrongly (1., 1., 1., 1.,
49 >> instead of 1., 2., 3., 4.)? Where have I made a Markdown mistake? --Pawel
51 >>> My indentation mistake, I think. --[[Joey]]
53 >>>> Now it's perfect :) Thank you very much! --Pawel
