[Cartoweb-users] Trying to create a new language translation

[Alexandre Saunier]

Hello,

indeed you have to write new po files named client.it.po, server.it.po, 
etc. Those files are text files containing translations. You may use the 
client.po, server.po files as templates (the translated strings are 
empty) and copy/rename into client.it.po,...

Note that you'll have to translate strings both in cartoweb3/po (common 
strings) and in cartoweb3/projects/demoCW3/po (strings dedicated to the 
demoCW3 project) or in your own projects.

po2mop.php then merge the .po files and compile the gettext binary 
dictionaries (.mo files).

Most of the scripts work with both Linux and Windows. They cannot be 
launched in your web browser. I've just added a note about that in the 
manual.
Tip: only files located within htdocs/ directories (web directories) may 
be called in a web browser. Everything else is either called internaly 
by the webserver or in command line prompts.

See Oliver's comments in a previous mail.

That would be great! ;)
