PO but unfortunately I don't know how to do it.
Basically what I have is a long list of terms and expressions in two
tab-separated columns, one for the English version and one for the
Italian translation. Something like this:
fraction frazione
I understand that a PO files with these entries would look something
like this:
msgid "fraction"
msgstr "frazione"
Is that correct?
I assume it would be quite easy to write a script for that, but I
can't
do it.
Ale,
No need for a script.
Take the text editor you usually use and open your text file.
1) I assume that you understand regular expressions a little bit
2) and that the character between "fraction" and "frazione" in your
text file is a tabulation
You'd have to search for:
^([^\t+])\t([^\t+])$
and to replace by
msgid "\1"\rmsgstr "\2"\r\r
The regexp may be slightly incorrect and will certainly depend on the
text editor you use but give the above thing a try and fine tune
until you get the proper results.
Cheers,
JC
