Launchpad itself

Converting .xml to .po and back

Asked by Sauli Eloranta

I'm checking opportunities how to start translating program called ADempiere(http://www.adempiere.com/wiki/index.php/Localization_Guide) to Finnish. LaunchPad looks easiest way to manage the translating work. There is only one problem. I cannot convert .xml files to .po files. In this forum has a previous question, where is told that converting is possible with intltool. I tryed use program but I didn't get any result and I didn't wound any good help how to use it.

There is about 40 .xml files to translate. How these can convert to .po files and how these .po files can get back to the .xml. Xml data is formatted these way:

<row id="119" trl="N">
<value column="Name" original="Messages">translation</value>
<value column="Description" original="Translate Messages">translation</value>
<value column="Help" original="Translate the messages used in Windows, Forms and Processes">translation</value>
</row>

I wound answer to my question... that was "poxml".

http://weblogs.goshaky.com/weblogs/lars/entry/translating_docbook_documents found very good instructions to use program.

Lars actually describes xml2po on that page (which is not the same thing as "poxml" which is part of KDE), which is part of gnome-doc-utils and is easily installed on your Ubuntu system using "sudo aptitude install gnome-doc-utils".
