And I have now made some progress with the idea. https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/andypugh/multilingual_comp It certainly isn't all there yet, and I suspect that the parsing of the strings in to languages should be done in some cunning way in the yapps parser. But: halcompile --show-doc=es src/hal/components/abs.comp will display a Spanish manpage, and --show-doc=fr will show a French one. The current version tries to use a "languages" entry in the .comp, but that doesn't look like it will work because of when that gets parsed. A better plan is to see what other languages might exist in the file when doing the default language. I know how to do that, but it's late here. It might be worth re-thinking the format too, possibly this would parse more robustly. pin out float out """Analog output value, always positive <_fr> Valeur de sortie analogique, toujours positive</_fr> <_es> Valor de salida analógica, siempre positivo</_es>"""; Or a more asciidoc-like pin out float out """Analog output value, always positive" :lang: fr Valeur de sortie analogique, toujours positive :lang: es Valor de salida analógica, siempre positivo"""; -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
