The binary .lng files are created by the Perl script genlang, found in tools, so you shouldn't need to do a full compile just to be able to test a new translation. The somewhat tricky part is the -t argument; I'm not quite sure what will happen if you don't specify it. Hopefully you'll just get a somewhat larger file than usual (containing strings that aren't relevant for your target).

Hi guys! Thanks for creating this great software!

Okay, so I'm almost finished with the croatian translation of Rockbox, but before posting it as a patch to Fyspray (that is what one does, right?), I'd like to be able to test it out.

The above command doesn't seem to work anymore because there's a new script called genlang. I've tried to create a .lng file using that command like this:


--- Code: ---perl genlang -e=english.lang -t=sansafuze:features.txt -i=28 -b=hrvatski.lng hrvatski.lang
--- End code ---

This command creates a .lng file, but it doesn't work in Rockbox. I don't understand the part with the "features" and argument "-i" which stands for id number. Where can I find this number? There is a wiki page that talks about translating, and it says that this number is found in the configure script in svn tools/ directory or something like that. I tried running that script in terminal (I use Ubuntu 10.04) but I get this message:


--- Code: ---antisa@antisa-desktop:~$ ./configure
Using temporary directory /tmp
WEEEEEEEEP. Don't run this configure script within the tools directory.
It will only cause you pain and grief. Instead do this:

 cd ..
 mkdir build-dir
 cd build-dir
 ../tools/configure

Much happiness will arise from this. Enjoy

--- End code ---

So if someone can please give me the correct command to execute with genlang that would be great. I have a Sansa Fuze v2.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'll be donating some money for this great project, so consider yourselves bribed for an answer ;) :D ;D

Keep up the good work!

I read that several times, but I don't really get it. Anyone else?
