Translations fall apart and I do not know why

[panuweb]

I think this happens at the time to generate the .po file and vice versa.

They could explain how the node po.js and node lang.js commands work, so I try to find the problem.

Thanks!

I don't think it could be happen. Scripts don't write any core files.

Hello

What I meant is that when I generate the .po file, missing translations were already made.

You can see in this commit: COMMIT. Here I had translated things like "Is Important", "Draft", "Sending", etc. But when gender i18n files to update the project, the "Name" field will change from "Nombre" to "Asunto", in all occurrences.

Then I had to go back to change everything in this commit: COMMIT

Note that I did the same thing twice in this commit COMMIT and this COMMIT

I do not know is:

* If these words were changed in the original code and therefore change to generate the .po file
* If it fails to generate the .po file
* If there is an error executing lang.js and the resulting files have this problem
* If the error is the program you use to edit the .po file

So I wanted to explain to me how they work lang.js and po.js to detect the error and how it would correct workflow for translations from time to update my local repo.

Thank you

Hi

I've rewritten po and lang scripts vastly a few days ago. msgctx now is used in po. Did you try new scripts? Maybe they will work properly.

1. run node po.js es_ES
2. Open po file and fix mistakes and add new items if there are empty strings.
3. run node lang.js es_ES

1. run node po.js es_ES
2. Open po file and fix mistakes and add new items if there are empty strings.
3. run node lang.js es_ES

4. Then the script creates a folder called es_ES inside "build".
5. Copy the files that are inside that folder and replacement in git project
6. Make a commit
7. I leave for a few days
8. Return and update the repo
9. Repeat steps 1-8 as many times as necessary


is that correct?

[yuri]

Yep. Correct.

OK. Now I know what I'm doing is right. But in the process something happens that makes some translations fall apart.

I will continue to research and update the thread.

Greetings!
