Format of .locale files:
------------------------
character encoding: UTF-8
filename suffix : .locale
Files must be strictly alphabetically ordered, and must not contain
any empty lines.
Destination of .locale files:
-----------------------------
directory: /var/tuxbox/config/locale or /share/tuxbox/neutrino/locale
Master file:
------------
english.locale is considered the master file.
Verfication of .locale files:
-----------------------------
Use the check.locale.files shell script for detecting
- violations of the sorting order,
- missing translations and
- legacy strings.
How do I add a new locale string?
---------------------------------
1.)
First of all, add the new string to english.locale while preserving
the ordering. Do not add any empty lines.
2.)
Enter the directory build_tmp/neutrino-hd/data/locale.
3.)
Use for sorting 'make sort-locals', use 'make ordercheck' to for verification.
4.)
Create new versions of the files src/system/locals.h and src/system/locals_intern.h
using the command 'make locals.h locals_intern.h'.
5.)
Check the modifications with 'make check'
6.)
Copy the replacement file to their destination with 'make install-locals'
7.)
Or use for item 3-6 'make locals'
8.)
To the extent possible, update other locale file. For this, the
Perl-script create-locals-update.pl may be useful.
9.)
If committing the changes to Git, commit both the involved
locale-files, src/system/locals.h, and src/system/locals_intern.h.
