Using the "new" gettext format for debconf templates helps for templates
translations. For instance, detecting outdated or untranslated strings
becomes considerably easier. It also keeps track of who did which
translation.
The attached patch does the required modifications :
- debian/control modification for dependencies (see below)
- execute "debconf-gettextize debian/*templates*"
- mark the right strings as translatable in the templates (see below)
- update the style to the best current practice (see below)
- removed files left by debconf-gettextize (*.templates.XX which are the
old-style translations and now live in debian/po/XX.po)
The previously existing translation were not lost in the process, but
automatically converted to po files. You may however want to ask your
previous translator to review them and update them if needed. Also ask
them to add their name in the header of the po files, to ease future
maintainance and update of the file.
If you want to reproduce this by yourself instead of applying the
patch, you have to do:
- install po-debconf on your system
- run "debconf-gettextize *.templates"
- Modify Build-Depends or Build-Depends-Indep to add "debhelper (>= 4.1.16)"
(debhelper depends upon po-debconf) since you use debhelper.
- Modify depends to add "debconf (>= 1.2.0)" since older version have issues
with templates specifying the encoding of their content.
- update the templates file to mark as translatable only the fields
which should (ie, not the one containing stuff which cannot be
translated such as kernel module name, and neither the one not
shown to the users), and improve the style to follow the dstg.
For more details, see po-debconf documentation, especially "man 7
po-debconf"
Read this if you're concerned with backports :
--------------------------------------------
Please note that the suggested modifications will make your
package a little bit harder to backport to earlier Debian releases. If
this is a concern to you, you may try to adopt the method used by the
openssh package and detailed by Colin Watson in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2003/debian-i18n-200307/msg00026.html
This patch does not includes this method as this would make it too
invasive, IMHO. So, preserving backportability is up to you...
The rest of the story :
---------------------
While I was working on the convertion to po-debconf, I noticed that the
templates of your package may be easily improved by applying the advices
contained at the following address:
http://people.debian.org/~bubulle/dtsg.txt
I applied the advices from this document concerning the short descriptions,
and reworded the long description to make it clearer even to newbies. Don't
get me wrong, I don't want to criticize, I just want the template to reach a
translatable state (ie quite stable) rather soon.
Once the switch is achieved, and the style improvement are done, I guess
that you will receive translations of your templates rather soon. They will
consist in XX.po files where XX is the code of the language they contain.
Simply put them to debian/po, add a changelog entry, and your package is
ready for rebuilding and uploading after the usual checks.
If you modify your templates in the future, no action is absolutely
mandatory from you to take care of the translations (outdated translations
will be automatically discarded). But it is nicer to your translators and
your not english speaking users to include the updated translations in the
same upload. For that, run debconf-updatepo, and mail each translator the
XX.po file they provided you. Their adress can be found in the headers of
the po file. Wait a few days so that they can do their work, and put the new
version of the po file back in position in debian/po.
Thanks for helping the translators, and thus your non english speaker
end-users.
Bye, Mt.
