Application: Poedit
Category: Development
Description: Poedit is the popular Poedit GNU GetText translator, which helps you translate strings for applications that use the GetText i18n format. (To check whether an app does, and so whether you can use this, look for *.po files. The main reason I did this is for BPBible translators...)

Toucan also uses this and it should make it much easier for new translators Smiling

wxLocale classes are what you are looking for, they are excellent, translation support in Toucan is less than 100 lines I would estimate.

Thanks, I'll take a look at Toucan's source code to see if I can borrow some code. My localization code must be well over 400 lines of code, and it's not easy at all to update existing translations.

I think the concept of fuzzy matching in poedit/gettext and the way it highlights missing strings is great.

Standardised too.

Add to that the fact that gettext is pretty much a standard for translating. There are libraries to read it in almost any language.

  • \App\readme.txt: Inkscape Sticking out tongue
  • appinfo.ini: Publisher=Vaclav Slavik & PortableApps.com
  • leaves file $TEMP\ns*.tmp\Registry.dll behind. Add the line ${registry::Unload} to TheEnd of your launcher.
  • PoeditPortable.nsi: change line 251 to FindProcDLL::FindProc "$PROGRAMEXECUTABLE"
  • I choose german at the start, but Poedit is always in english. And it asks every time which language.

Cheers, Bart.S

I did the Danish translation of Abiword in Poedit. A good tool.

Update or even release?

Can you updated it to the latest version 1.4.6 or even release it as a PortableApps Application? That would be awesome!

Thanks!

Chris Morgan seems to be busy

I had a conversation with him last month (here and here):

01:10:54 <kAlug> ChrisMorgan: do you mind if I take over Poedit Portable?
02:04:17 <ChrisMorgan> kAlug: I think I'd prefer to update it myself. It's mainly a matter of having someone who wants it - otherwise updating it is lower priority. I'll try to do that shortly, hopefully by mid next week (possibly today, more likely Monday).

@Chris: I have an updated and PAL-based version packaged; do you mind if I post it here (feel free to use it as base for future updates)?

Did you set the working directory?

Done for today

I have had it approximately done, but have been busy with some Uni and church things. This afternoon was my first proper block of free time to polish off the release for quite some time. (At the time I hadn't released PADT and only had it at home, so I couldn't use it at Uni where I did the rest of the preparation for the release.)

Look for a release now within the next hour.

  • App/Inkscape: missing app?
  • DefaultData: I'm not sure about what your PoeditPortable.reg does, but I believe you could also disable updates:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Vaclav Slavik\Poedit\WinSparkle]
"DidRunOnce"="1"
"CheckForUpdates"="0"
  • Installer.ini: more Inkscape
  • AppInfo.ini : PackageVersion: 1.4.5.81? Puzzled

Did you set the working directory?

App/Inkscape: missing app?

Huh?

DefaultData: I'm not sure about what your PoeditPortable.reg does,

That's there so that language selection works first time (INI file write won't work unless the file exists).

but I believe you could also disable updates

I saw that but it looked like it was just taking you to the website to get it. I've looked more closely at WinSparkle now and it does take you there but takes you to the installer download - a thing which could potentially be confusing for users. So I'll disable it in the next release.

Installer.ini: more Inkscape

To be fixed. Does no harm so I'll leave this for the moment.

AppInfo.ini : PackageVersion: 1.4.5.81? Puzzled

Part of a numbering scheme to ensure that updates will work when released and that the numbers will increase. When the fourth digit is 0, subtract one from it (with take) and assign 80+N for DTs and 90+N for PRs (better not have more than ten of either or it'll end up needing to be slightly different). Cases where the fourth digit is used in the app version will need to be different. Scheme still to be finalised and implemented in the PortableApps.com Development Toolkit; I feel that the whole updater/version number system is not ideal in the use of PackageVersion and at some point may see if a different system is feasible while still maintaining backwards compatibility.
