Hi, I am attempting to rewrite the koha scripts so they can use gettext funtion for other languages. Here is the problem: xgettext extracts all the strings where it finds print function with "any_string". It seems it may be undisirable in some situations. Here is an example: #: boraccount_i18.pl:67 msgid "$accts->[$i]{'amount'}" msgstr ""

In case it is disirable please let me know. I don't know what to do with it. Should I change line no 67 into this: gettext("$accts->[$i]{'amount'}) ?

Another example: #: boraccount_i18.pl:41 boraccount_i18.pl:42 boraccount_i18.pl:43 #: boraccount_i18.pl:44 msgid "99cc33" msgstr ""

#: boraccount_i18.pl:41 boraccount_i18.pl:42 boraccount_i18.pl:43 #: boraccount_i18.pl:44 msgid "/images/background-mem.gif" msgstr ""

Here 'xgettext' extracted html codes because they where part of the print function in perl scripts. Can anyone shed some light on how to actually rewrite the scripts.

Ahh, right, probably what you need to do here, is just manually remove these lines from the file created by xgettext. Since these lines arent going to be called with the gettext function. Ie we dont want to translate html, or for that matter variables. Hope this makes sense Chris PS, xgettext was what i was going to suggest in response to your other email. -- Chris Cormack Katipo Communications Programmer/Sys Admin chris@katipo.co.nz 025 500 789 www.katipo.co.nz
