Hallo Byrial
The information should be in po-file in form of some form of
extracted
comments inserted by the program which generates the pot-file. That
program can get the information by parsing the XML file made be
glade.
I think the problem is that not all programs in GNOME use the
xml-files for the program layout (Glade generated or otherwise).
the accessibility tools (atk at-spi) should be able to extract the
information from a running program.
Hi Luc,
I don't know this tool, but it sounds interessting. I think though that
it may be difficult for a tool which get information from running a
program to find and activate all menus and pop up-windows etc. which
accept key mnemonics. That's very difficult even for a human tester.
But I think that the best way to go is to set a requirement for developers.
For example to write translator comments, as proposed by Byrial (see below)
Well my proposal was that a tool should generate these comments by
examing the interface code if possible. It would be very hard to get the
developers to make such comments manually. Besides manually made
comments could easily become outdated or deviate from the standard, so
they couldn't be parsed by po file checkers.
And if the interface code is generated by glade or similar, the
developers simply may not be able to comment manually.
