2021-11-27	po: Fix update-pot.sh breaking on non-ASCII	Juhani Krekelä	-1/+1
	Currently po/update-pot.sh assumes English strings and translator comments cannot contain characters outside of ASCII, and throws an error upon encountering any. Since we are actually using UTF-8 and not ASCII, tell xgettext so.
2021-07-02	po: Introduce more robust error handling	Wolfgang Müller	-0/+2
	This commit enables 'errexit' for both shell scripts in po/, ensuring that no further action is taken should one of the commands fail. init-po.sh now tests for the presence of a language code and refuses to continue if none is given.
2021-06-29	Use custom scripts instead of meson's gettext tooling	Wolfgang Müller	-0/+16
	meson's tooling for gettext introduces a couple of issues. Firstly, it is currently not possible [1] to specify per-language keywords. We need this in order to ignore the 'Name' record in the desktop file. Secondly, every invocation of 'update-po' also updates the pot file [2], inadvertently recording the updated creation date in all translations. Since we recommended the use of 'update-po' to translators in TRANSLATE, this will lead to lots of unrelated changes every time a new translation is added, even if no msgids change. Thirdly, people who do not have meson installed are currently not able to use the tooling it provides. To fix these issues, this commit adds custom tooling around gettext: The 'update-pot.sh' script updates the pot and po files using xgettext(1) and msgmerge(1), and 'init-po.sh' makes the necessary changes to LINGUAS whilst also creating the relevant po file(s) with msginit(1). We no longer need to refer to meson at all in TRANSLATE. Make sure to mention the new scripts as well.
