Translation support in ocitysmap
================================
Translation support uses the standard Gettext system. See
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html for the
Gettext manual.
Updating the template file
--------------------------
This template file is created by extracting all strings from the code
into a .pot (PO template) file :
xgettext -o ocitysmap.pot -p locale ocitysmap/street_index.py
Currently, only ocitysmap/street_index.py contains translated
strings. The .pot file is generated in locale/ocitysmap.pot.
Updating an existing translation
--------------------------------
Once the template file has been updated, the new version can be merged
with an older translation using the 'msgmerge' tool:
msgmerge -U locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ocitysmap.po locale/ocitysmap.pot
Then edit the locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ocitysmap.po file with poedit or
another .po file editor.
Tip: refer to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features for
official translations of several words used in OpenStreetMap.
Create a translation for a new language
---------------------------------------
This must be done using the 'msginit' tool.

* Make the .po file for your language. Look at Map_Features in your
language to find correct transaltions:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features
ocitysmap$ cp locale/ocitysmap.pot locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ocitysmap.po
Compiling the message file
--------------------------
ocitysmap$ poedit locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ocitysmap.po
* Compile the .mo for your language
ocitysmap$ msgfmt -o locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ocitysmap.mo locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ocitysmap.po
ocitysmap$ msgfmt -o locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ocitysmap.mo locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ocitysmap.po
