Re: HOWTO For Testing New Translations?

Pedro,

Thanks for the response.  I am familiar with using po files in general, but
as part of an installation process I think that there must be more involved.
Since the installer runs from a CD, the anaconda and associated POs and fonts
have to be burned onto the disk with the other setup files.

Or, can anaconda be safely run in a testing mode from a hard disk to evaluate
translations?  What would the right invocation?

thanks,

/Daniel

Afaik anaconda has such a mode, the anaconda developers use it themself 
to develop/test anaconda. You may want to check the anaconda documentation.

something like this
anaconda --test --method=<rawhide-url> --graphical

for a even better test you can make an update disk (put your translation in 
po/<lang>.mo)

for NFS installs you can put it in <installroot>/RHupdates/po
