Our infrastructure for updating the glib20.pot file was incompatible
with intltool in a couple of ways:
- we didn't set the Report-Msgid-Bugs-To to
- we used paths relative to the $(top_srcdir), rather than po/
This resulted in spamming of pointless changes to the .po files whenever
'make update-po' was run (since all of the translators are using
intltool-based tools).
All the .po files are now in UTF-8!
For information on editing UTF-8 files on Unix, see
<http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html>
If you just want to convert it back to your native encoding to
edit and then convert again to UTF-8 to commit, please see the
scripts in gnome-i18n/UTF-8, for example
export ENCODING_TO=ISO-8859-15
utftopo fi.po
emacs fi.po
potoutf.sh fi.po
cvs commit fi.po
Alternatively, you can use the gettext package (>= 0.11) to convert
your translation to and from your native encoding:
msgconv -t ISO-8859-15 fi.po > fi.native.po
emacs fi.native.po
msgconv -t UTF-8 fi.native.po > fi.po
cvs commit fi.po
If you need help with this, ask, but please don't commit
non-UTF-8 files here.
