[horde] Changes to .po files not showing in interface

Fri Jun 19 22:42:52 UTC 2009

Hello. I have been asked to change the French translation for "Purge Deleted" 
in the IMP webmail interface to from "Vider la corbeille" to "Purger les 
Supprimés" in our installation of Horde on our webmail server.

I have been attempting to follow the directions in /horde/po/README and at 
http://wiki.horde.org/Horde3Translation , but nothing I do has made any 
difference in the text displayed in my browser. Changes I make are simply not 
taking effect.

The process I am using is:

1. Edit /horde/imp/po/fr_FR.po , making this change:

#: mailbox.php:454 mailbox.php:522
msgid "Purge Deleted"
msgstr "Purger les Supprimés"

2. cd to /horde/po and run these commands:
./translation.php cleanup
./translation.php compendium -l fr_FR
./translation.php update -m imp -l fr_FR
./translation.php make -m imp -l fr_FR

(I tried it with and without the "compendium" step).

3. Restart Apache (I also tried complete stop/start of Apache and rebooting the 
server). I clear my browser cache, login to webmail as a test user, and check.

And every time, the text is the default "Vider la corbeille". Does anybody out 
there have experience with the translation.php script? If so, can you let me 
know what I might be doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The output of the commands I have run is listed below, separated by lots of 
dashes. Other information:

OS: CentOS 5.2
Kernel: 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 SMP x86_64
Horde Version: 4.3.4
IMP Version: 3.3.4

Thanks.
