tool4poについて
- tool4po is a tool for interaction between XML format and .PO format for ADempiere ERP
- XML format is ADempiere standard XML format in language packages.
- .PO format is a kind of format related with GNU gettext. Launchpad translation platform is using .PO format.
- tool4po is under development using python3.1. Check latest version on http://www.adempiere.com/index.php/TranslationProject
- Basic functions of tool4po:
- Convert XML en_US packages into .POT template files. (.POT is standard model for global translations)
- Convert existing XML translation packages into .po files, so that the existing translations can be upload to lp.net
- tool4po is designed for global languages. Now it works well for Chinese. It can be easily avaible for other languages by changing one pattern string.

'xml_zh_CN_tmp' ) ( 'zh_CN' -> 'zh_CN_4po' )
- step 2: Get formal XML-AD files ( 'xml_zh_CN_tmp' --> 'xml_zh_CN' )
-->
4.1. Launchpad.netから、翻訳されたPOファイルから生成されたXMLファイルの取得
Generate translation list from existing translation packages.e.g. , get file 'list_trans_zh_CN.xml' from folder 'zh_CN' which is already having Chinese translations.This step is to take advantage of existing translations, so that you don't have to re-translation all texts.
ATTENTION: Please use the en_US language package in the official wiki page: http://www.adempiere.com/index.php/TranslationProject . Otherwise you may get some translation missing. Because the en_US exported from ADempiere ERP database contains format like "<![CDATA[&Menu]]>".
Command:
$ python3.1 tool4po.py --get-xml [folder en_US xml] [folder po translated] [folder xml translated output]
Example:
$ python3.1 tool4po.py --get-xml 'en_US' 'po_zh_CN' 'xml_zh_CN'
Details in process:
- step 1: Format convert: PO -> XML-AD. ( 'en_US' + 'po_zh_CN' --> 'xml_zh_CN_tmp' ) ( 'zh_CN' -> 'zh_CN_4po' )
- step 2: Get formal XML-AD files ( 'xml_zh_CN_tmp' --> 'xml_zh_CN' )
5. ローカル言語翻訳リーダーのための提供機能
5.1. 翻訳リストの取得
Generate translation list from existing translation packages.e.g. , get file 'list_trans_zh_CN.xml' from folder 'zh_CN' which is already having Chinese translations.This step is to take advantage of existing translations, so that you don't have to re-translation all texts.
Command:
$ python3.1 tool4po.py --get-list-trans 'pair' [file xml output] [folder xml translated] [folder en_US xml]
Example:
$ python3.1 tool4po.py --get-list-trans 'pair' 'list_trans.xml' 'zh_CN' 'en_US'
or if you don't want to compare against the en_US
Command:
$ python3.1 tool4po.py --get-list-trans 'single' [file xml output] [folder xml translated]
Example:
$ python3.1 tool4po.py --get-list-trans 'single' 'list_trans.xml' 'zh_CN'
Details in process:
- step 1: XML-format convert: XML-AD -> XML-4PO. ( 'en_US' -> 'en_US_4po' ) ( 'zh_CN' -> 'zh_CN_4po' )
- step 2: Get Original - Translation pairs by matching IDs & tags. ( 'en_US_4po' & 'zh_CN_4po' -> 'list_trans_zh_CN.xml' )
5.2. POファイルの取得
Generate PO files. These files can be uploaded to Launchpad.net.
Command:
$ python3.1 tool4po.py --get-po [file trans] [folder POT] [folder output]
Example:
$ python3.1 tool4po.py --get-po 'list_trans.xml' 'pot' 'po'
Details in process:
- step 1: XML-format convert: XML-MIX -> XML-SNG. ( 'list_trans.xml' -> 'list_trans_en_US.xml' ) ( 'list_trans.xml' -> 'list_trans_en_US.xml' )
- step 2: Get 'list_trans.po' by 'po4a-gettextize'.
- step 3. Generate .PO files. 'list_trans.po' & 'pot' -> 'po'.
- step 4. Re-organize .PO files in the format accepted by Launchpad.net.
- step 5. msgfmt. check format of .po files
5.3. 複数のPOファイルから一つのPOファイルへのマージ
This function is useful if you have different xml translation packages from different people.If you don't need it, please ignore it and skip this step.
In this case, you can use "--get-list-trans" and "--get-po" for each translated xml packages.This function merges all the po files in the folder into 1 po file.
Command:
$ python3.1 tool4po.py --po-merge [folder po] [file po output]

- step 3. Reorganize POT file. ( 'pot_tmp' -> 'pot' )
- step 4. msgfmt. check format of .pot files
6.3. Launchpad.netパッケージの取得
