Localization testing

Hi folks,

Is it a way to test localization from pootle files? Or do you test only release candidate versions?

Instruction is needed for linux, but for windows OSes would be fine as well.

Sorry if it's the silly question.

Hi, you mean, you want to test translations right away?

I have asked similar question back in January, but what I ended up with,
is that I've setup a nightly builds for the Linux distribution I use.

Hi, thanks for the response!

What the Linux distribution do you use?

#4

Fedora 18, 64-bit. I took build files from
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/libreoffice.git/
and adapted by replacing translation files for my language with
the fresh version. I can share the build script, but it is too simple.
I have disabled the builds for now though, because I am not currently actively
translating LibreOffice.

PS: I also have tried to build LibreOffice for openSUSE using the Build Studio
(at build.opensuse.org) but it takes like eternity to complete the build there.

#5

Thanks anyway!

Hope there are some more people who do it and will share their experience. It's very exciting to compile LO for every minor changes.

#6

I wonder if it's posible to coplile LO from source and copile translation trought Poedit or Vitaal to .mo files. Is it posible to do it that way?

I don't think LibreOffice uses PO/MO files yet.

#8

Good day,

I have tried to build Ukrainian language pack also during the LibreOffice build,
but, unfortunately, it fails with the next message

/usr/bin/cp: cannot stat '/builddir/build/BUILD/libreoffice-4.0.3.3/workdir/
unxlngx6.pro/UILocalizeTarget/desktop/uiconfig/ui/extensionmanager/uk.ui':
No such file or directory

I am certainly not an expert in this field do I don't know how to fix it.

Regards,
