How to Update the translations

  1. Update the translation server. (Approach 1: upgrade to the last release; approach 2: upgrade to head or to an alpha or beta release.) Use CVS up.

    This approach puts the translation server at risk. An alternate approach would be to create a whole new checkout on the appropriate branch (such as oacs-5-0), point that at the live production database, import keys (which is safe because keys on the translation server take precedence), then export keys back, and then commit. This gets the keys committed to the right branch without changing the code running on the production site. Updating the production site can then be a seperate exercise.
  2. Go to ACS Lang admin page and click "Import All Messages"

  3. Resolve conflicts, if any, on the provided page.

  4. Back on the admin page, click the export link. If there are conflicts, the messages will be exported anyway and any errors will be shown in the web interface.

  5. From the packages dir, run the acs-lang/bin/check-catalog.sh script. (This checks for keys no longer in use and some other things. Until it is rolled into the UI, do it manually and check the results and take whatever steps you can intuit you should do.)

  6. CVS commit the catalog files. Done
