Hi, Before some time the same question asked about naming of mo files. and danilo and christian given the answers. I am pasting both of them here. You can refer them... :) Answer by Christian mån 2004-08-09 klockan 23.34 skrev Gora Mohanty: I am puzzled about something. I have been trying to test some of our translations under CVS Gnome downloaded and built with jhbuild. The install directory is /opt/gtk2 and I have been putting .mo files in /opt/gtk2/share/locale/or_IN/LC_MESSAGES Things seem to work, except that some programs appear to need an explicit version number for the .mo file, e.g., gedit works when the file is named gedit-2.6.mo, but not if it is gedit.mo. Why is that? More importantly, how do I find out what is the correct version number? Will the value from "program --version" always work? To find out the gettext domain, you can fetch the sources from CVS and run intltool-update --pot and look at the generated pot file name. Alternatively, you can look at the GETTEXT_PACKAGE line directly in configure.in. The reason some modules use a versioned gettext domain is to allow for multiple versions of the same software to be simultaneously installed on a system. This is common for libraries, as some software might depend upon a newer version of the library, and some on an older version, so both versions need to be installed simultaneously without being in conflict with each other, with all files being seperate, including the mo files. However, there's usually no need for ordinary applications to be versioned this way. As an example, I cannot figure out why anyone would seriously need two versions of gedit installed on the same system, so in the case of gedit it can probably be reported as a bug, as I did with gdm (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148042). Feel free to report such a bug against gedit: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gedit&op_sys=All&cc=menthos menthos com Thanks, Christian

Paras pradhan લખ્યું: hi all, Got a question on naming of mo files to be generated from po files of gnome 2.10 and newer. I will take an example of gnomemeeting. At the l10n-status site (http://l10n-status.gnome.org/gnome-2.10/PO/gnomemeeting.gnome-2-10.ne.po), the name of gnomemeeting po file is gnomemeeting.gnome-2-10.ne.po. now if i want to generate the mo file, what should the mo file be named. is it gnomemeeting.gnome-2-10.mo or gnomemeeting.gnome-.mo or any other..? how do i decide the names of the mo files?. Thanks in Advance.
