The first link describes how these appdata xml files should be installed, so the task is mostly about adding these files to sysui, where existing desktop files are, and tweaking bin/distro-install-desktop-integration to install those files to the required location. caolanm->dtardon: could you have a look at this ? so i've pushed the app-data files now. they are added to the desktop-integration RPM/DEB in sysui, with names similar to the other stuff e.g. "/usr/share/appdata/libreoffice4.2-writer.appdata.xml" of course that doesn't help the intended use-case for distro packages, needs adapting those distro spec files too. i wonder, is it possible to display translations of these, and if so what should the format look like? let's see... http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ > How do I translate this data? > If you ship an .xml.in file rather than an .xml file, you can use intltool to > translate the data. You can also use itstool to translate the data, and we've > provided a appdata.its file for convenience. that would require some more work then, and input from Andras about the translation tooling...

(In reply to comment #3) > that would require some more work then, and input from Andras > about the translation tooling... We don't use gettext and intltool, but I can write an extractor/merger in l10ntools easily. How the localized xml files should be named? It'd be good if you could add copyright notices to the file, see http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2013/10/01/copyright-in-appdata-files/ Migrating Whiteboard tags to Keywords: (EasyHack DifficultyInteresting SkillScript ) [NinjaEdit] |
