Hi Carles,
I don't have much knowledge about how gettext works, but I tried to
add unit test today (in my local branch) and I couldn't get it working
:-( Below is what I did, with some questions:
1. I downloaded zh_CN.po from translationproject.org and placed it in
$(srcdir)/po/ directory.
2. I tried to build grub.pot, but build failed.
Build rule for grub.pot assumes builddir == srcdir, which is not
true in my case. Also, it looks like that command is trying to create
grub.po in srcdir instead of builddir; is it normal? if we need
grub.pot in srcdir, can we move this step into autogen.sh?
3. After fixing the grub.pot rule, I was able to get .mo files in
$(builddir)/po/
4. Now I wanted to see if gettext could find the translations without
doing a make install, as below in $(builddir)
$ LANG="zh_CN" TEXTDOMAINDIR=$(pwd) gettext grub "the core image
is too small"
It displayed only english version, even though zh_CN translation is
available :-( Since the directory structure in /usr/share/locale is
different from $(builddir), I did "make install" and tried the gettext
command without setting TEXTDOMAINDIR, but still no success :-(
What is wrong? Can you provide any pointers?
thanks,
