ZCFG translation

First of all, use the following commands from your Services Provider directory in order to extract all the messages to translate from the ZCFG files :

#!/bin/bash
for j in cgi-env/*zcfg ;
  do
    for i in Title Abstract;
     do
      grep $i $j | sed "s:$i = :_ss(\":g;s:$:\"):g" ;
     done;
 done > locale/.cache/my_service_string_to_translate.c

Then generate the 'messages.po' file based on the Services Provider source code using the following command :

#!/bin/bash
xgettext service.c locale/.cache/my_service_string_to_translate.c -o message.po -p locale/po/ -k_ss

Once 'messages.po' is created, use the following command to create the po file for the targeted language for translation. We will use the French language here as an example :

#!/bin/bash
cd locale/po/
msginit -i messages.po -o zoo_fr_FR.po -l fr

Edit the zoo_fr_FR.po file with your favorite text editor or using one of the following tools :

• poedit
• virtaal
• transifex

Once the zoo_fr_FR.po file is completed, you can generate and install the corresponding mo file using the following command :

#!/bin/bash
msgfmt locale/po/zoo_fr_FR.po -o /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/zoo-services.mo

In order to test the Services Provider ZCFG and internal messages translation, please add the language argument to you request. As an example, such a request:

http://youserver/cgi-bin/zoo_loader.cgi?request=GetCapabilities&service=WPS

would become the following:

http://youserver/cgi-bin/zoo_loader.cgi?request=GetCapabilities&service=WPS&language=fr-FR

The following command may also be useful in order to pull all the translations already available for a specific language.

#!sh
msgcat -o compilation.po $(find ../../ -name fr_FR.utf8.po)
msgfmt compilation.po -o /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/zoo-services.mo
