Regarding translation of schemas files



It seems that people didn't quite understand now to use the newly added
schemas support in intltool.

This is the way to do it:

cp file.schemas file.schemas.in
Add the file.schemas.in to POTFILES.in and not the file.schemas
 
Add the INTLTOOL_SCHEMAS_RULE and the file.schemas file (containing
translations) will be created.


Damien Donlon told me that a lot of modules are doing this wrong, and
just includes the schemas file in POTFILES.in. Please check what your 
package is doing and correct it if necessary

Cheers, Kenneth

Thank you Kenneth! Is there a good general awareness of this among 
the package maintainers i.e have they updated their package
POTFILES.in to include .schemas.in files? In a spot check of :

gedit                 gnome-control-center  gnome-utils
ggv                   gnome-desktop         gperfmeter
ghex                  gnome-media           nautilus
glade                 gnome-panel
gnome-applets         gnome-session


..I only see references to .schemas in the POTFILES.in of gnome-panel,
gnome-utils & gedit yet most of these modules contain .schemas files
in their sources.

Maybe they don't all have translatable content but it might be an idea 
to send a reminder to the gnome-hackers alias.

Damien
