helper script i18n.sh could notify about fuzzy translations #59

Closed saschagottfried closed 9 years ago

saschagottfried commented 9 years ago

I use docs/examples/i18n.sh a couple of days. I works like a charm. Everything is working fine and the script output is like:

Extract messages
Update translations
....... done.
....... done. 
Compile message catalogs

But sometimes a translation is not showing up. After a bit of investigation I almost always find that small word fuzzy in the translation files (*.po).

After running the script I would like to be informed about fuzzy translations. It was pretty easy to change that. Just add --statistics to the call to msgfmt:

msgfmt --statistics -o "${po%.*}.mo" "$po"

Now a very useful summary with quantitative information is appended:

Extract messages
Update translations
....... done.
....... done.
Compile message catalogs
39 translated messages.
34 translated message, 1 fuzzy translation, 4 untranslated messages.

Given that little bit of more information I know exactly that there are fuzzy translations and can fix them immediately if I want.

Why was it put in the example only and not in the script? Having no information on fuzzy translations gives bad user experience.

What do you mean with "in the example only and not in the script"?

BTW - this one is a good change https://github.com/Kotti/Kotti/commit/b14133cfcd1106173a9eb44c21b79a5c452448a6#diff-8eee0084a940ff710b60a5704fb951b5R38 you might open a pull request.

Sorry, I had impression i18n.sh script is part of project's source which apparently is not the case (it lives only in examples). As to the change you showed I have plan to make PR with this and other changes restoring some features of Babel's python scripts.

rnixx commented 8 years ago

Actually it's just a - even if very well working - example how one can do things with lingua ;)

piotr-dobrogost commented 8 years ago

Btw, what was the reason to "lump" all steps into one shell script and not to have four python scripts as in Babel?

rnixx commented 8 years ago

The reason is that I only have to remember one script instead of four. It's the lowest barrier I can think of for new users (UPDATE and for me)
