Translation.__setitem__() from flightgear/meta/i18n.py isn't used
anywhere here (it is not very useful), so no harm done, but that could
have confused potential readers.
This script is designed for the following use case:
Suppose a translator has been working on a particular translation file,
and meanwhile the official XLIFF file for this translation has been
updated in FGData (new translatable strings added, obsolete strings
marked or removed, etc.). In such a case, 'fg-merge-xliff-into-xliff'
can be used to merge the translator's work into the official XLIFF
translation file. Essentially, this means that for all strings that have
the same source text, plural status, number of plural forms and of
course target language, the target texts, "approved" status and
translator comments will be taken from the first file passed in the
following command:
fg-merge-xliff-into-xliff TRANSLATOR_FILE PROJECT_FILE
Used like this, PROJECT_FILE will be updated with data from
TRANSLATOR_FILE. If you don't want to modify PROJECT_FILE, use the -o
(--output) option. If '-' is passed as argument to this option, then the
result is written to the standard output.
- Remove unnecessary imports
These imports were a leftover from early versions; now, they are done
in modules such as flightgear.meta.i18n and don't need to be in the
calling scripts anymore.
- Fix an exception message
Add the following files:
python3-flightgear/README-l10n.txt
python3-flightgear/fg-convert-translation-files
python3-flightgear/fg-new-translations
python3-flightgear/fg-update-translation-files
python3-flightgear/flightgear/__init__.py
python3-flightgear/flightgear/meta/__init__.py
python3-flightgear/flightgear/meta/exceptions.py
python3-flightgear/flightgear/meta/i18n.py
python3-flightgear/flightgear/meta/logging.py
python3-flightgear/flightgear/meta/misc.py
They should work on Python 3.4 and later (tested with 3.5.3). The folder
structure is chosen so that other FG support modules can insert
themselves here, and possibly be used together. I put all of these
inside 'flightgear.meta', because I don't expect them to be needed at FG
runtime (neither now nor in the future), probably not even by the CMake
build system.
To declare that a string has plural forms, simply set the attribute
'with-plural' to 'true' on the corresponding element of the default
translation (and as in Qt, use %n as a placeholder for the number that
determines which singular or plural form to use).
