[Gimp-docs] Most annoying thing

[Roman Joost]

Hi,

I've just browsed a bit in the archives and remembered, that I was
asking what the most annoying thing while editing the manual was for
every author:

https://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/gimp-docs/2008-February/001091.html

Almost everyone thought the languages mixed up in one XML were very
annoying.  This has now changed with a big effort (thanks for Ulf for
his time investing in supporting programs).

Now two years later: What is now the most annoying thing?

The most annoying thing for me is, that I can't spend as much time on the
project as I would like to spend. I haven't made any contributions to
the manual for a while, also due to the fact that I'm just lost in the
current editing process. The wiki is down and doesn't seem to return
anymore. Maybe a better space to invite potential contributors would be
to open a space on the GNOME wiki.

I'm also watching the development of Mallard closely:

http://projectmallard.org/

maybe something which we could benefit from.

Anyways. I'm still following the mailing list and try to help as much as
I can!

Thanks for the good work!

Cheers,

Re: [Gimp-docs] weird translation missing

(Oh, we are not talking about
http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/it/gimp-tutorial-quickie-flip.html?!)

Did "make html-it" update the appropriate files:
[POT] pot/tutorial.pot
[PO]  po/it/tutorial.po
[XML] xml/it/tutorial/xml
...

I tried to build HTML from a git archive:

$  git archive --prefix=gimp-help-2/ master | tar -xvf- -C /tmp
$  cd /tmp/gimp-help-2
$  ./autogen.sh --without-gimp
$  make html-{en,de,it,ja,...}

with this result:

- html/it/gimp-tutorial-quickie-flip.html : translated
  (except first para)

- html/ja/gimp-painting.html: translated

so it looks that it should work but things are messed up somehow 
(wrong timestamps, xml2po versions mix, or whatever).

Let's try brute force:

# if you are curious:
$  cp -a pot pot.backup
$  cp -a po/it po/it.backup
$  cp -a xml/it xml/it.backup

$  rm -rf pot
$  make pot
$  find pot/ -name '*.pot' | xargs touch
$  make po-it
$  make xml-it
$  make html-it

# if you are curious:
$  diff -ur pot.backup/ pot/
$  diff -ur po/it.backup/ po/it/
$  diff -ur xml/it.backup/ xml/it/
# (tip: install colordiff from http://colordiff.sourceforge.net/
# and run "diff -ur ... | colordiff")

$  rm -rf pot.backup po/it.backup xml/it.backup

(RyōTa, you may want to try it with "ja" instead of "it").

I hope this will solve your problems. (Otherwise I'll have to emigrate 
to Australia too...)

Ulf
