Automatic update of PO files (entries count) and what if...

[Renato Pavičić]

Hi,

I was wandering if something is going to be done with automatic updating  
of PO files with corresponding POTs? Sometimes PO files are updated, but  
there are lots of a files that are out dated, as we can see from entries  
count. There are quite a lot of mismatching entries.

Also, what happens with PO files (and its translation) if POT is updated,  
but PO is not.
Ie: I've checked fr_FR page. There I saw that release notes got about 60  
entries more that on Croatian page. Croatian PO was not updated (OK, this  
part of problem I've solved).

But, if I overlooked that (and few other files that were 100% translated  
BEFORE updating them with latest POT), in what manner (how) would such PO  
files are to be introduced into distribution?

Another example:
Current Croatian file "summary" is at 100% with 2145 entries.
I've updated local copy with latest POT. Now I have 2174 entries (20  
more), but about 120 fuzzy, and 30 untranslated. (I haven't commited new  
PO yet)
How is this particular file going to be introduced?
- as 2145 translated + 20 untranslated, or
- 2174 entries, 120 fuzzy, 30 untranslated

Again I have to ask for an automatic notification system of new entries in  
PO/POT files.

Thanks all
