| commandoline | Hi. I'm currently writing an open-source PyQt4 application. It uses gettext for translations (because Qt's system isn't supported by Launchpad). As far as I understand, the 'default' way in Ubuntu is to store them into /usr/share/locale/ . Does that mean I also need to place the files there while developing? And how to maintain compatibility with other OS's (i.e. mainly windows and mac)? | 18:43 |
| commandoline | another question behind it is: What's 'the recommended' file structure for a project like this? | 18:44 |
| jalcine | Which other files are you referring to? | 18:49 |
| commandoline | well, the mo files normally go in /usr/share/locale | 18:50 |
| commandoline | but when I'm developing and want to test some translations, where should I store them then? | 18:50 |
| commandoline | somewhere inside my project, or is it 'normal' to just put them inside the /usr/share/locale dir? | 18:52 |
| jalcine | After installing and what-not, they should go within /usr/share/locale, but if you're just trying to test it out in the app, use QTranslator to switch the app's language. | 18:57 |
| jalcine | It should pick it up. | 18:57 |
| commandoline | I'm using gettext, but yes, gettext would see the files in that directory. So while testing, I should just place the mo files manually into /usr/share/locale? | 18:58 |

| JackyAlcine | Sorry for my latency, but yes. | 19:17 |
| commandoline | ok, thanks JackyAlcine :) | 19:18 |
