During the last year the Docs Project has made significant strides
in
working with the XML in our CVS repository. Our toolchain has improved
along with our understanding of how to make better use of our XML
content assets. We are making a change that will turn quite a number of
translations "fuzzy" but the changes themselves will be quite minimal.
Some time ago, because of some toolchain deficiencies, we elected to use
the "xml2po -e" option to parse entities when creating POT and PO files.
So if our XML looked like this:
<para>This paragraph is about &FED;.</para>
The POT would use contain this msgid:
This paragraph is about Fedora.
We are moving now to a better XML handling infrastructure where the
POT's msgid will instead look like this:
This paragraph is about &FED;.
I will be making this change in Makefile.common at some point in the
next 24 hours. (Simply put, we're changing the standard xml2po option
from "-e" to "-k".) I will be updating POT and PO files for some but
not all documents -- probably the following modules only:
release-notes
install-guide
about-fedora
readme
readme-burning-isos
homepage
example-tutorial
documentation-guide
jargon-buster
translation-quick-start-guide
It is up to any other documents' maintainers to do a "make pot po" and
then commit the new POT/PO in their module(s) to update the message
content.
