Title: Strange messages when doing 'make lang'
Post by: Schmorgluck on February 06, 2008, 06:42:11 pm

When I type "make lang" after having followed all the directives given on the wiki, I get this :

Code: [Select]

Making lang
cs.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
da.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
de.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
en.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
es_ES.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
es.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
est.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
fi.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
fr.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
gr.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
it.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found

pt_BR.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
ru.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
slo.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
sv.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
th.po
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
The "/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found" are on STDERR, all the rest is on STDOUT.

My questions are : is the operation successful? If not, why?

EDIT: it seems that the answer to my first question is "no". I'd appreciate some insight about my second one.

msgfmt is a program. Part of gettext. Make sure you have it installed. If not , Install it ("apt-get install gettext" or elsehow).

I get this kinda message when making lang files:

871 translated messages, 618 fuzzy translations, 550 untranslated messages.
es.po

^ That seems like high number of untranslated messages :/ . I have Ubuntu 7.10 and atleast accordingly Synaptics Package Manager I have Gettext installed.

That means there are 871 messages translated (and 1168 untranslated). You can help translating spanish by editing this file with poedit, and then sending us the updated file.

Even better would be to translate the file from the trunk (http://ufo.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ufoai/ufoai/trunk/src/po/), which should be the most up-to-date version of the translation files.
