Translation infrastructure

https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/YourProject

i'm using poedit to translate .po files

To automate the process, it would need to wait though. Automatic import of translations into LP from the pot file in code is not implemented yet.

French translation

Right now, the infrastructure is built in GTG.

1) All translatable strings in the code should be "gettextified" -> "string" becomes _("string")

2) generatepot.sh script will then generate a .pot file will all the translatable strings.

3) The .pot file should be uploaded on Launchpad (or translated using any tool you want)
(Warning : the upload could take 24h hours)

4) Once a translation is complete, you can download from Launchpad a .po and a .mo
- The .po is human-readbe and should be put in /locales for GTG distribution
- The .mo should be put in its subfolder in /locales and is used for testing purpose. It should not be distributed as it is compiled from the .po file during installation by setup.py (To be tested)

In order for this bug to be closed :

1) Most strings should be textified with _() (the remaining should be reported as bugs)
2) generatepot.sh should be modified to take care of the strings in Glade file (see pygtk FAQ and learningpython blog for example)
3) The .pot file should be uploaded to Launchpad

./generate_potfile.sh has been updated to take glade files into account
Added _() around strings in source code

Hello!
How do I get this sh file?

This file is in the root directory of the source code. However, if you
want to translate the application, you should rather use this page:
