translators
-----------
see this page for a howto:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/translator.html
Things like
msgid "/File/_Save Image As ..."
are menu items. You only need to translate the last part (following the final
"/"). The underscore character marks the accelerator (the underlined character
in the menu item). So you could put:
msgstr "Sevy i_mago os ..."
and it would display as "Sevy imago os ...", with the "m" underlined.
tips
----
cd vips-8.x
find */* -name "*.c" > po/POTFILES.in
find */* -name "*.cc" >> po/POTFILES.in
find */* -name "*.h" >> po/POTFILES.in
find */* -name "*.cxx" >> po/POTFILES.in
find */* -name "*.cpp" >> po/POTFILES.in
regenerate the list of files to search for strings ... don't forget to
remove autogenerated files, fuzzer sources, deprecated stuff etc.
intltool-update --pot
make a new vips8.x.pot translation template from the sources
