2008-03-16git-gui: Improve directions regarding POT update in po/READMELibravatar Junio C Hamano1-12/+50
Keeping POT up to date relative to the software is absolutely necessary. What is unwarranted is updating language files at the same time by running msgmerge without checking if there is any outstanding translation work first. If we assume that the translators do not have access to msgmerge, that is a good service to them (the less they have to do, the better), but otherwise, it is better to be leave po/${language}.po files alone.

2007-09-12git-gui: Document the new i18n context supportLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+9
Translators working on po files will likely need to know what the @@noun and @@verb parts are in the original message text, and why these are different messages in the po files. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-09-03git-gui: Update po/README as symlink process is not necessaryLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-6/+1
We don't actually need to create the lib/msgs symlink back to our po directory in the source tree. git-gui.sh is smart enough to figure out this is where the msg files are and will load them from the po directory if invoked as git-gui.sh. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
