Now I could get an actual *.sdf file from source code.
Thanks, Mechtilde! Could you please start from my notes at
https://s.apache.org/Dukc and copy them to a wiki page (or, if you don't
like wiki, to a text file to be then copied to a wiki page) so that you
can take advantage of what I already wrote and fix it?
After preparing a build directory there I could start localize successful.
OK, so for example my item 1 from the link above
---
1. A full checkout of trunk; I believe some of the tools are built
during the build process, but I'm using a fully built tree anyway.

should be improved to say that you don't actually need a full build (but
you still need to initialize the build process).
I could also create *.pot file with oo2po from *.sdf file. There I get
many *.pot files in different directories.
I assume you will be looking at German with more attention, right? I
recommend to just start with one language, since having all SDF files is
useless anyway (Pootle has only a selection of languages).
Once we get a few languages working, generalizing won't be hard.
Now I downloaded a *.zip file from Pootle with the previous German
translation. Must I do it for every language manually? How can I do it
effectivly?
I would suggest this: do the same steps as I did for French and
Portuguese in the discussion above. Let's check if we get to the same
conclusions, i.e., that Pootle is in a bad state that does not
correspond to any release.
Then I can look for the next steps.
Please note that, as I wrote, we need to go the opposite direction: from
Pootle to SDF. But we need to re-learn both flows, so it's really good
if you repeat all the process from my earlier notes.
So your next major steps would be:
- Exporting German from Pootle (not to Pootle) and build 4.1.6 (not
4.2.0) based on it
- Understanding the "malformed string" error messages when doing the
above and their impact on the resulting build; this is where I stopped
on 31 Dec last year, and I think nobody has done further work ever since.
Regards,
Andrea.
