Swedish translation

[Stefan Björk]

The swedish translation of Gramps need some changes and fixes,
especially regarding the Narrative Web. I had the idea that I should do
those changes myself and post a patch, but I discovered that the
gramps.mo file is a binary format.

Is there an official manager for the swedish translation of gramps to
which I could send my change requests, or is editing of the source files
something that could be done by a novice like me?

The official translators of the Swedish translation is/was Jens Arvidsson
<[hidden email]> and Bo Rosén <[hidden email]>. Jens is the one who has
done the last commit. (2004/02/11 07:46:18)

The textfile with the last translations is available at this url:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/gramps/gramps2/src/po/sv.po


If you want to do updates to the file, save it on you disk, and open it in a
translation tool. (I use kbabel, but you also have gtranslator, and others)

When done, you can mail the file back to us. Or you can even get your own cvs
account, and do the commit's your self. That requires that you have some
knowledge of cvs.

If all of this was a little over the top, tell us, and we'll try to get a
email solution up and working.

Go for the CVS account. I use CVS on a daily basis and is quite familiar
with it.

And, honestly, I'm not that much of a novice. I'm just afraid to end up
with too much work... :-)

Do you have a account on SF.net ? If not, create one, and Don or Alex probably
can give your account cvs access.

You should also register on the gramps-devel mailing list.

I've been looking into this, but I can't find the strings I want to
translate. I guess there's some kind of method to update the sv.po file
with the latest text strings from the source code?

Yes. Well, first of all, you can use developer CVS which is real-time
(while the anonymous CVS and its web snapshot are delayed for a
few hours), check out gramps20 branch of gramps2 repository, and
look for sv.po file.

Next, use msgmerge to update strings:
   $ cd src/po
   $ msgmerge -o new_sv.po sv.po template.po

Then you may rename new_sv.po into sv.po and translate it and check
it in.

This and some other (hopefully, useful) things are covered here:

Actually, this would be a link to HEAD, while you need gramps20 branch.
Here's the correct link (but you better use CVS anyway :-):
   http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/gramps/gramps2/src/po/sv.po?rev=1.17.6.7
