Extracting new strings (after adding gettext("…") calls in Rust source):
# update the .pot template and merge it into every catalog
./scripts/update-translations.shAdding a new language (xx = locale code):
cp po/en.po po/xx.po
# edit xx.po with your translationsBuilding .mo files (done automatically by PKGBUILD):
for po in po/*.po; do
lang=$(basename "$po" .po)
msgfmt -o "po/${lang}.mo" "$po"
doneRuntime .mo files are installed to /usr/share/locale/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/biglinux-webapps.mo.
