Remove_builtin: buttons translation + Xdialog.mo... [SOLVED]

[Bert]

Hi L18L,

I read your comment on Barry's blog:

While talking about momanager...
... we have found out that Xdialog uses Xdialog.mo in /usr/local/share/locale

I would like to add that this is not the case on my box. I had xdialog.mo in /usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES only and Xdialog ran translated.

Only after that did I add the .mo to /usr/local/share/locale...

I just checked, by removing the .mo from /usr/local/etc and xdialog is still running translated.

I think rodin.s gave the second location only for Slacko.

Hope this is useful

...Thus there is something to play with for me the next days.....

Game over

Xdialog had found its Xdialog.mo in default location before.
Recent Xdialogs must have been compiled without --prefix=/usr
thus it searches its Xdialog.mo in /usr/local/share/locale/

Having the same file in that 2 different locations is on the safe side.
Also sufficient is to have just a symlink in /usr/local/share/locale/....
Not really a hack...

Create it in command line for nl:
ln -s /usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/Xdialog.mo /usr/share/doc/langpack-template/usr/local/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/Xdialog.mo

The other issue was edit Xdialog.po in momanager

Find in /usr/sbin/momanager line which contains

Code: Select all

    LANG=${ORIGLANG} rxvt -e intltool-update --dist --gettext-package=${ATEXTDOMAIN} --output-file=${ATEXTDOMAIN}.po ${ATEXTDOMAIN}1

put a # at beginning of that line so it looks like:

Code: Select all

    #LANG=${ORIGLANG} rxvt -e intltool-update --dist --gettext-package=${ATEXTDOMAIN} --output-file=${ATEXTDOMAIN}.po ${ATEXTDOMAIN}1

and append the following line:

Code: Select all

    LANG=${ORIGLANG} rxvt -e msgmerge ${ATEXTDOMAIN}1.po ${ATEXTDOMAIN}.pot --output-file=${ATEXTDOMAIN}.po ; #130525 

..and also ROX-Filer can be edited if you apply this change.


I do not want to make another momanager because I am hoping that all these changes will find their way into woof soon.

Bert,
please change the title to indicate that Xdialog is concerned.

Sorry I did not see this post before.

Yes, it is good to know that Barry has the correctly compiled Xdialog.
...and the symlink is the solution with the lowest memory usage.

All your posts are useful., thank you.
