Set POT-Creation-Date in newly generated POT files #87

Closed mgeisler closed 11 months ago

mgeisler commented 11 months ago

The data is added to PO files automatically by msgmerge. This will in turn be used when publishing a translation: it allows us to know which sources goes into a given PO file.

Part of #16.

@sakex, I'm thinking we should surface this field in the template engine. That way we can write something like

Published on {{ now() }}, translation current as of {{ pot-creation-date }}.

in the footer of each page.

Sure, this can be done by adding the variable to the book object at the gettext preprocessor step, then we'll retrieve it from a custom template

Oh, interesting! Can a preprocessor modify the metadata passed onto later preprocessors and renderers? I was thinking it should become a context variable for the template engine.

Yes actually, we could just pass time.now from the renderer On Sep 25, 2023 08:56, Martin Geisler @.***> wrote:
