The module contains some utility scripts and assorted auto* magic for
-internationalizing various kinds of XML files. This supersedes the
-earlier scripts that I (Kenneth) distributed to be checked into each
-module. In addition, it has an additional merging feature, currently
-only for oaf files. This feature might be extented to handle .desktop
-files and MIME files in the future.
+internationalizing various kinds of XML files.
* Features
-o Automatically extracts translatable strings from oaf, glade, bonobo
- ui, nautilus theme and other XML files into the po files.
-
-o Automatically merges translations from po files back into .oaf files
- (encoding to be 7-bit clean). I can also extend this merging
- mechanism to support other types of XML files.
+o Extract translatable strings from various source files (.xml.in,
+ .glade, .desktop.in, .server.in, .oaf.in).
+
+o Collect the extracted strings together with messages from traditional
+ source files (.c, .h) in po/$(PACKAGE).pot.
+
+o Merge back the translations from .po files into .xml, .desktop and
+ .oaf files. This merge step will happen at build resp. installation
+ time.
