As far as my memory serves me, no additions to Pootle were made after
3.3 or 3.4.
Pootle came to a halt in probably the year or the year after it went to
Apache.
Therefore there will be differences.
Having the old translations in Pootle would require an upgrading of the
templates in Pootle, used for the translations, with preservation of the
translated strings.
I've done no work on the translations for AOO since Pootle came to a
halt (except for some small changes)
In the past, someone with admin rights for Pootle, put the genereated
pot-files on Pootle, updated all languages and then we could go translating.
As far as I can see in the documentation for Pootle, that has not changed.
It therefore should be possible to upgrade from the newly generated SDF,
through generated POT-files with preservation of the old strings.
Don't know if there is anyone available from the "old days" with
knowledge of Pootle.
I mainly worked with translated PO-files ( checking with GSIcheck and
repairing errors and then putting the corrected PO-files back)
Don't know how Pootle is set up.

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.
