I had a look in the documentation to update translations, but how do I make those .mo files when I'm on a Mac? poEdit is not an option nor is shell access.

Hi,

i have no experience with Mac, because i have neither one nor access to one.
Just send your translation files (.po) to me and i will make the corresponding .mo for you.

Thanks Jens, but it is an existing Danish translation "customized to my needs", so if Joan could help me out, you don't have to bother with it (every time I decide to modify it....)

Joan, I'm running Panther (10.3)

jhave,

So basically, you have unix. But you have some learning ahead of you. Don't worry, it will be worth while, but a little painful to start off.

You need to learn to use terminal. Thisseems like a good starting place. Go through the tutorial until you can change directory to gallery/po directory in terminal.

Then type at the command line:sh make_mo_files.sh -po da_DK and hit return. If you see OK 5 times, then you are done. If you see Fail or any other error messages, come back here and we will help you get it working.

Hmmm. I thought I tried to do that, but I will try again. It said "command not found"... I will try again! Thank!

This is the result:

[njord:~/downloads/gallery/po] jhave% sh make_mo_files.sh -po da_DK-gallery.po

Unzip the attached file, copy it to /usr/bin, chmod it to executable:
% chmod +x /usr/bin/msgfmt
or
% sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/msgfmt

and try again.

Well, getting more Unix geeky by the minute:

This comes up now:

njord:~/downloads/gallery/po] jhave% sh make_mo_files.sh -po da_DK-gallery.po

only da_DK-gallery.po

Found : da_DK-gallery.po
     Language = da_DK
     Checking if ../locale/da_DK/LC_MESSAGES exists                                                          OK

OK, we will turn you into a unix geek yet

You are going to have to build some things on your machine - or get Jens to build the .mo file for you.

If you decide to roll up your sleeves, I suggest you install Fink, which will make your life easier. After you have installed it, you can just type:
fink install gettext
and it will download build and install it all for you.

this is not the forum for Unix wizardry, but I'm handed this after installing Fink:

[njord:~] jhave% fink install gettext
sudo /sw/bin/fink  install gettext
Password:
Information about 1103 packages read in 6 seconds.
No packages to install.
[njord:~] jhave%

I just try and the same thing again?

I can now create the .mo files! Thanks for the tip about Fink, Joan! I will probably dive further into it.... ;)
