It's not really necessary to keep your message file perfectly in sync with CVS, at least not before we're in a freeze before a release. You we'll be given a couple week's notice before a release to finish up your work.

Hi Christophe.
Do you already have the italian version?

Nop, nobody has contributed an italian translation yet. You can go ahead!

I've sent the italian version of PO file to you private address.
I hope that is correct.

Bye - Paolo

I still have no success translating these standard items. My example was the menu entry showing as "&Home" in untranslated Celestia and as "Dateianfang" in my german version.
I manually tried to add several msgid's to the de.po - without success. Maybe this is because "Home" is a KStdAction while other items are declared as "new KAction(i18n(...)...)"? Is there a way to give standard actions custom names? Or could this be modified to be a custom action as well?

Did you recompile and install the .po file? You must make a 'msgfmt <filename>.po' and then install the .mo in a directory used by the i18n routines (mine is /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/celestia.mo). That is, if you don't recompile the entire program...

Yes, I did.

Sorry, I should have paid more attention to your previous posts.. You mean the 'standard' menu entries added by the standard KDE framework. I think you should go for the sources of the kde i18n files, find what one is including these standard actions (kdelibs.po, maybe?), recompile and install it. But the drawback is that you get all the 'Home' entries all over KDE applications translated to the new 'meaning'... Another way could be to change the kdeapp.cpp to create a KAction instead of a KStdAction. Christophe has the last word in this, of course.

Well, the first one is no option of course, as the meaning of "home" in celestia is VERY special (go to our sun) and should not override the standard action for every kde app. You can't tell any user that wants translated celestia to mess with his standard messages anyway.
The second way, to create a KAction, was my proposal too, but I don't know if there might be other reasons for using KStdAction other than that these are predefined. Lets see what Christophe thinks about that.

I can start translating Celestia into FINNISH as soon as I get Windows dumped and get Linux running... may take some time.. but anyway it's coming...

Steffens, Jamarsa,

I've changed Home into a KAction and I've updated the pot and po files, translation now works for the menu entry.

If you can, then by all means please do!

Get the POT file here and send me the translated file (chris at teyssier.org)
