***********************************************+ Author: filmil Subject: Conversion from Skype lang to GNU Gettext .PO Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2005 10:57 am (GMT 0) Topic Replies: 0 Greetings everyone. Last night I randomly hacked a small utility that converts back and forth between Skype lang file and GNU Gettext PO. Anyone that has ever translated software using GNU Gettext will know why this is a good thing. There are lots of tools available for doing translation, and maintaining cross-version and incremental translations is much easier. Additional benefit is that the PO conversion utility collapses the repeated messages so you need to type them in only once, and it knows how to reconstruct the (redundant) lang file from the PO once it is finished. It also helps respect the translation guidelines from http://forum.skype.com/viewtopic.php?t=2917&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= as the original text and the translation stand next to each other. Unfortunately, it does not know to read UTF-16 yet so you will need an external utility to convert from UTF-16 to UTF-8 when you want to produce the template, and convert from UTF-8 to UTF-16 once you are done. I use GNU iconv to do this. Yes, it's a bit more technical than a casual non-techie translator may like, but the shared opinion of many translators I've met over the years confirms it's worth the trouble. The program and the template (POT) file produced are available from me. I would have put this somewhere on the WWW for all to see but since I don't know Skype's licensing policy in detail, so I refrain from doing so at least until Skype says it's okay to go on. I mailed Eve Loopere about the hack and hope to have some feedback soon. Until then, if you are interested in the POT template or the scripts themselves, feel free to follow up to this message, or contact me in another way.
