Entities idea
by Paul W. Frields
People are inevitably going to want local entities in their document.
In order to ease translation, would it make sense for our entity
generation engine, either instead of or in addition to linking to the
common entities file, recognize a local entity file and merge it with
the common one, thus presenting a single mass of entity material which
could be included in the document DTD as a solitary call in place of the
current "locale-entities.xml" declaration -- one of such raw power, such
sheer enormity, such elegant austerity, and such overwhelming
magnificence that it would inevitably inspire awe, nay, OBEISANCE in all
those who gaze upon it, and even put a stop to this gigantic runaway
sentence???

Let's don't. This is a bad idea because it's yet another duplicated
file in the local directory that adds NO new information and cannot
be used for adding local entities because it creates a new file every
time the locale is changed. Heaven help us if someone archives this file.
set-locale-${1} is not the right place for this.
I'm on this.

I hope the 'pt_BR' log message was a typo for this "it" Italian file!

[ANN] Translatable Entities Call For Translators
by Tommy Reynolds
The infrastructure to support the I18N translation of the Fedora
DocBook entities is now ready for translators to insert the
translations.
Background:
The FDP has defined certain XML entities (&FED;) to represent
commonly-used project references. These have been hand-coded into
separate files such as "docs-common/common/fedora-entities-en.ent"
and then explicitly included into documents using their exact
filename.
Some translations for non-English locales have been added, but these
have all been manual efforts involving more hand-coding and editing.
Before these "docs-common/common/fedora-entities-${LANG}.ent" files
could be used in a translated document, that document must have been
manually edited to reference the newly-translated locale rather than
the original one. Again, this was a manual editing operation.
No more! Down with manual editing! Up with correct processes!
This announcement informs you that there is a "new world order" (NWO)
for these entities files. From now on, adding additional I18N locale
support will use the same tools and procedures already familiar to
the translation community. Per-locale XML and .ENT files will be
automatically derived from a baseline English XML file, a .PO file,
and the xml2po(1) program from the "gnome-doc-utils" RPM.
Get the new resources by updating your "docs-common/common" directory
like this:
$ cd docs-common/common
$ cvs update entities
and then look into the resulting "entities/" directory.
The "README.txt" file contains detailed instructions for adding new
locale support to the infrastructure.
If your locale is already in place, please add the appropriate
translations according to the "entities.pot" and "${LANG}.po" files.
After editing the "${LANG}.po" file, a simple:
$ make
command should do everything needed to generate the
"entities-${LANG}.ent" file. The command:
$ make help
will show the available make(1) targets. Note that adding a new
locale to the ${OTHERS} Makefile macro will automatically add all the
necessary Makefile targets for your locale.
Note to document authors: you can look at the "example-tutorial" to
see how this will affect you, but please do NOT switch to these new
entities files until I make a specific [ANN]ouncement in a few days.
Cheers!
