[i18n] Danish translations of forwards and vacation

[Jan Schneider]

All this is covered in docs/TRANSLATIONS, po/README and in the online help
of translation.php. Or something of this missing there?

Zitat von Jose Carlos Pereira <horde.i18n at abismo.org>:

> More or less my  thoughts (ie, to translate you should not  need to be a
> programing "guru").
>
> Maybe a  small text explaining  how translate.php works would  make life
> much easier (translate.php does make your life easier ;)).
>
>
> Another thing that would help, direct links to translation help files:
>
>   eg:
>         http://www.horde.org/source/contribute.php
>            A separate section for translations
>            (link to latest /horde/po/README ?)
>
>         http://lists.horde.org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
>            A link to afore mentioned link
>
> An example of a small text (my quick guide for future translations)

>  BASE     =       base PATH where horde is installed
>  ll_CC.po =       gettext language file
>                 ( ll: two letter language code
>                   CC: two letter country code
>                   ex de_DE.po, fr.FR)

>    + Update .po files with new strings
>            cd BASE
>            ./translation.php update -m horde -l ll_CC
>            ./translation.php update -m imp   -l ll_CC
>            ./translation.php update -m turba -l ll_CC

>            OR all packages in one go

>            ./translation.php update -l ll_CC
>
>    + create a compendium file (do this only once)
>         ./translation.php compendium -l ll_CC
>
>         (creates compendium file.
>          create it and ignore it)
>
>    + edit individual files... ll_CC.po
>         (delete fuzzy comment entries after correcting entries)
>         ex BASE/po/ll_CC.po
>            BASE/imp/po/ll_CC.po
>            BASE/turba/po/ll_CC.po
>
>    + generate the system translation binaries
>         cd BASE
>         ./translation.php make -m horde -l ll_CC
>         ./translation.php make -m imp -l ll_CC
>         ./translation.php make -m turba -l ll_CC

>                 ...
