msgfmt.py in the list of files to translate

Hi

I asked this question quite some time ago: bin/msgfmt.py seems to be
included in the list of file which are used for generating mailman.po.
What is the purpose of that?  Can we just remove it?  Also many strings
from it are just docstrings, they are in no way properly used.  Would it
be possible to at least make sure that the "useful" strings are
included?

Regards

acknoledgements...

Hi

What is the right way to make sure the translators' work is
acknoledged?  Is it OK for me to put it directly into ACKNOLEDGEMENTS
file?

If you are looking for the just messages:

  http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/mailman/mailman/messages/mailman.pot?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=2.37.2.20

However there's a number of templates available in 'templates/en/'
directory.

You might also want to check

  http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/mailman/mailman/README-I18N.en?rev=2.12.2.4

It is free that docstrings are left untranslated but at least they are
useful if the site administrators want to use --help options or help()
funcitons. I know translators want to put higher priority on member
messages than admin messages or docstrings. It may be inconvenient but
they are just mixed in the mailman.pot file.

Will you please send me the name to me ? I will put it in
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. It is also a good idea that their names appear in the
first comments in your language mailman.po.

They all appear at the beginning of Russian mailman.po.  I'll update the
file later today and it will contain [I hope] up to day list of
contributors.

However, msgfmt.py and pygettext.py are not even admin files - they are
only used by mailman developers. So it should cause no problems to users
if the messages in these files were excluded from mailman.pot.

To do so, the docstring.files rule in messages/Makefile.in might read

docstring.files:
         <at> echo "Calculating script input files for pygettext"
        (cd ..; grep -d skip -l -i '^#! .*python.*' `find bin cron
scripts -name ".#*" -prune -o -print` | grep -v pygettext >| grep -v
msgfmt.py | grep -v pygettext.py | messages/$ <at> )
        (cd ..; ls Mailman/Commands/cmd_*.py >> messages/$ <at> )

(this is untested, though) Alternatively, these two scripts might
be moved into the messages directory.

Martin

Mailman 2.1.6 release candidate up

Hi all,

Now we are on the last stage before the final release of 2.1.6.
After the release of 2.1.6b5, we've got translation updates from the 
language champions including Leona for zh_CN (Chinese, China).
Hopefully, I will be able to release the 2.1.6 final within a week.

Cheers,
