PO Convertor for TikiWiki

Intro

Here are two small utilities to convert between TikiWiki's language.php files and GNU gettext PO files. PO files are generally easier to translate since a number of tools are available to automate this.


PO tools use the Translate toolkit(external link) to do the complicated work and are written in Python(external link).

Moreover, the Translate project has produced Pootle(external link) — a web interface that allows anyone from the net to translate PO files. No need any more to be initiated in the black magic of PO file manipulation.

The utilities should make it easier to pick up on a stale Tikiwiki translation.

Prerequisites:

Usage

  • python tiki2po.py infile.php outfile.po # produces a PO from TikiWiki's language file
  • python po2tiki.py infile.po outfile.php # produces a TikiWiki's language file from PO

Additional docs available on the Translate Toolkit tiki2po page(external link)

Download

  • By installing the Translate Toolkit you'll get this script automatically, however, the souce is available from SVN should you want it separately: tiki2po(external link) and po2tiki(external link).
