[poedit-users] Parse HTML Markup?

In an attempt to separate my logic from my presentation I have created a
filter which parses my view templates and translates anything in
<i18n></i18n> tags. Is there anyway to get poedit to parse these tags?

Thanks in advance,

Yes. Write a script/program that extracts them into a valid PO file.

[poedit-users] Getting started

Hello,

I'm getting started with poEdit. I have a small C++/wxWidgets program 
with several strings inside _("..."). I can't seem to get started with 
poEdit:

1) I start the program and go to File > New Catalog. I fill in the 
project info as best I can (what can I put under project name? why do 
you need a version? what are plural forms?) and click OK.

2) The program asks me to pick a file name. So I pick one. Then it 
immediately gives me an error:

* Poedit did not find any files in scanned directories.
* Entries in the catalog are probably incorrect.
* Updating the catalog failed. Click on 'More>>' for details.

Btw, there is no "More>>" link.

What does all this mean? PoEdit never told me that it needed to scan 
anything. Why can't it just create an empty file with the info I gave 
it? In any case, how do I tell what to scan, it never asked me!

3) Anyways, I try to move on. Naturally there are no strings to 
translate, so I want to add one. I look through all the menus and I 
don't see any option to add a new string. Hmm... that's not very useful.

I then notice that the window is divided into three sections. I've seen 
poEdit before, and I vaguely recall that the bottom sections are for 
translation, but it is not clear which one is the "from" language and 
which one is the "to" language. I try to type into one of those boxes 
but nothing happens. What gives! Typing into the bottom-most box does 
work, but that's pretty useless on its own.

Not good.

Can someone explain to me how I can add translation strings to poEdit 
please?

Thanks,
Daniel.

They get added when poEdit scans your code.

Maybe this page helps:
http://wiki.wxpython.org/poEdit

I guess/think that your catalog/settings/path are not correctly set.

I'm afraid you missed one step:

0) Read GNU gettext documentation and learn its basic concepts before
   using gettext for your program's translation. Their manual is well
   written, there's no excuse not to.

It did, on 2nd and 3rd tab of the very dialog you just closed.

You really do need to read the docs above. It doesn't make any sense to
add translations manually in gettext, the entries are extracted from
sources.

It is clear as soon as you actually have a catalog with entries... But
yes, it's a usability bug that was fixed on the trunk a while back.

I saw those tabs. I clicked on them, but I didn't see what they were 
talking about ("what paths do they want? what is a base path?").

If those things are necessary, they should not be hidden behind a tab, 
and they should be mandatory. Judging from the first tab, it looks like 
most of the information collected is unimportant (project name, team, 
email address, country) and it is reasonable to think that the stuff in 
the tabs is even less important.

One thing that's not clear is "Language". Is it asking for the language 
I'm translating from or translating toward?

Anyways, thanks for the help. I did what you said and poEdit started 
scanning my C/C++ files. But when the progress bar reaches the end 
poedit dies with a segmentation fault.

Good to hear.

Any ideas what I can do to fix a seg fault?

At the risk of repeating myself, that's what the help (or the many
tutorials out there) is for.

Please *do* read the manual already. It's answered there -- English is
almost always the source language.

1) I generally think that software should try to be intuitive to the 
extent possible. Changing "Path" to "Extract text from files in the 
following directories" (or similar) is not a difficult change.

2) I was able to find this in the documentation just now, but only 
because I already knew what I was looking for. If I was totally new I 
would have looked for a link that says "How to create a new catalog". I 
expect "preferences and settings" to be something I can do later. And 
the first tab certainly conveys that impression.

3) Note that the help is not accessible when you have the "new catalog" 
dialog open. This is a modal dialog.

But the *point* is that I didn't know whether "Language" meant *Source* 
or *Destination* language. It's not hard to change "Language" to "Source 
Language" and then the software will be clearer.

Step 1 says to always use the latest version, but when I go to 
"Download" to grab the latest version for Linux it just says to grab 
whatever is already in my distribution.

I have version 1.4.2 from Ubuntu Karmic. Should I try to compile 1.4.3?

Daniel.
