=== Export/Import .src comments to .sdf/.po format ===

Our translations system has .src files in a custom format where developers add strings that need to be translated.

Translations are stored in .sdf files and there are various tools to convert these to and from the more normal .po format that translators are typically used to.

.src files can contain comments (x-comment) intended for the end-translator to see, e.g. See http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/components/cui/source/options/optsave.src#221

.po files can also contain comments, but the intermediate .sdf file does not.

Ideally the .sdf format would be able to store these comments, and the po2sdf and sdf2po tools would be made aware of them in order to import/export them.

See l10ntools for the source code to create .sdf files

I think correct link is this: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/cui/source/options/optsave.src#234

@Andras: If this EasyHack is still valid, could you mentor or reasign to better suited mentor?

Comment 3 Andras Timar 2012-04-12 04:58:34 UTC

@Björn: yes, it is still valid.

Comment 4 Andras Timar 2012-04-14 05:34:16 UTC

This enables export of comments to en-US sdf file.

Comment 5 Andras Timar 2012-04-14 07:22:57 UTC

With the patch below, oo2po writes the x-comment to a developer comment in pot files. Problem solved.
