Updating the translations

  1. Check out the latest translations from Launchpad by branching the Bazaar repository: 

    bzr branch lp:~denials/evergreen/translation-export

    This creates a directory called "translation-export".

  2. Ensure you have an updated Evergreen release branch.
  3. Run the build/i18n/scripts/update_pofiles script to copy the translations into the right place and avoid any updates that are purely metadata (dates generated, etc).
  4. Commit the lot! And backport to whatever release branches need the updates.

  5. Build updated POT files: 

    cd build/i18n
make newpot

    This will extract all of the strings from the latest version of the files in Evergreen.

  6. (This part needs automation): Then, via the magic of git diff and git add, go through all of the changed files and determine which ones actually have string changes. Recommended approach is to re-run git diff after each git add.
  7. Commit the updated POT files and backport to the pertinent release branches.
