Launchpad itself

Translating Ruby on Rails 2.2+ yml files

Asked by Shaun McDonald

Is it possible to use Launchpad to translate Ruby on Rails 2.2+ yml files. I would like to use Launchpad for translating the OpenStreetMap web site, and I'm currently using the new Rails i18n implementation that came in Rails 2.2.

Hi,

Launchpad Translation only support Gettext PO files. YAML is a general file format, like CSV or XML.

In this case you should convert the yaml file to po. This is how is done for translating XML/Docbook files.

Unfortunalty I am not aware of any converter from YAML to PO.

The format of a PO file is very simple and it should be easy to implement a converter

Cheers,
Adi

Take a look at http://svn.openstreetmap.org/sites/rails_port/script/locale/ for the start of a couple of conversion scripts by Thomas Wood.

The problem you are having is the location of the script relative to the en.yml file.
