Difference between app.po and app.edit.po #163

Closed peterwake closed 8 years ago

peterwake commented 8 years ago

Could someone please explain what these files are for - I am sure there is a reason for both! Which one should be sent to someone to translate? Many thanks.

Where are these files ?

... .po files are supposed to exist 1 per language ... the app.edit.po might have a different set of translations ...

If I run

$ rake gettext:find

I get this output on the terminal:

touch config/locales/de/app.po.time_stamp
rm -f config/locales/en/app.edit.po
cp config/locales/en/app.po config/locales/en/app.edit.po
touch config/locales/en/app.po.time_stamp
rm -f config/locales/zh_CN/app.edit.po
cp config/locales/zh_CN/app.po config/locales/zh_CN/app.edit.po
touch config/locales/zh_CN/app.po.time_stamp

And then both the app.po and app.edit.po files change to add new translations, and the only difference between them is the line

"POT-Creation-Date: 2016-09-06 19:54+0100\n"

I'm really just wondering what purpose it serves to have both these files. Or is one a backup file?

no idea where this .edit is coming from ... might be some strange leftover ... try deleting it ?

On further digging the rake command jumps into a gettext rake command.

There is a discussion on this here: https://github.com/ruby-gettext/gettext/issues/36
