1. I have built a po file for Yiddish; it can be found at
http://www.cs.uky.edu/~raphael/private/yi-YI.po .
2. Could whoever takes these things please do so and install it whereever
these things go?
3. I had some problems that I mostly worked around by just eliminating a few
entries in yi-YI that were marked "fuzzy", but these problems recur whenever I
do
./update.pl yi-YI
4. Could someone give me a clear picture of what the following do and in what
order one ought to invoke them when I want to (1) check for newly defined
strings that need translation, (2) modify my idea of a good translation for
existing things?
update.pl yi-YI
ui-backport.pl yi-YI
update.pl --pot
abi-extract.pl -N yi-YI
5. In fact, when I run AbiWord, I get lots of warnings about missing
translations, such as
DEBUG: WARNING: Translation for id [STYLE_NUMBER_LIST] not found.
5. I chose yi-YI as the name out of general ignorance of how the name ought to
be chosen; I am happy to change to anything people want. What I mean by this
name is "Yiddish in the YIVO orthography". YIVO is as close to a
standards-setting organization as we have in the Yiddish community.
6. This week I get a new problem when I try my Yiddish strings; it didn't
happen last week: seg fault (I am using Linux/gtk2.0) right after a failed
assertion at src/af/ev/unix/ev_UnixMenu.cpp:647 (UT_ASSERT(bResult)). (I
always pipe "yes" into AbiWord to get past failed assertions; most don't kill
AbiWord.) There was a previous failed assertion at 814 in the same file.
7. In src/wp/ap/unix/ap_UnixPrefs.cpp I am still using my own workaround in
line 90 disabling the #if defined:
#if defined (LC_MESSAGES) && defined (UNDEF)
because no matter how I stand on my head, I cannot prevent setlocale() from
returning "C" as the locale. My locale libraries just refuse to accept
yi-YI.utf8 as a valid locale. Should I submit a bug report on that?
