Re: [orca-list] Trying to get some Orca localizations updated

[Alex ARNAUD <alexarnaud hypra fr>]

Hello Kyle,

To update all po files the process is this one in the orca repository:
1) Execute the script configure
> ./configure

2) Go into the po directory

3) Execute the update-po command from the make file
> make update-po

To edit the po file I'm using the emacs po extension of gettext. 
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/PO-Mode.html

To obtain more information I advise you to contact GNOME Translation team.

Best regards,
Alex.
