→Updating your translation
* Use your outdated translation to translate the strings that did not change:<pre>msgmerge lang.po gramps.pot -o newlang.po</pre> or <pre>msgmerge --no-wrap lang.po gramps.pot -o newlang.po</pre> where <code>lang</code> is your language code. The <code>--no-wrap</code> option will prevent changes due to automatic word wrapping, use it if your previous po file was constructed like that. The <code>--no-wrap</code> options allows for more readable Git diffs.
* Check fuzzy messages and translate all untranslated messages in <code>newlang.po</code>. When you are sure everything is right, rename <code>newlang.po</code> as <code>lang.po</code> and check it into Git as you did with the original file.
* If command <code>msgmerge</code> is not available on your system, you have to install the <code>}gettext</code> package. For [http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/Internationalization#How_to_get_gettext_tools_for_Win32 windows users].
* To back-port translations, e.g., to merge master branch translations onto an earlier branch, do this on the earlier branch (assuming gramps.pot is updated):
<pre>msgmerge -C lang.po master-lang.po gramps.pot -o newlang.po</pre>. Then resolve the fuzzies as usual.
cd po
python update_po -m all
in the <code>po</code> directory. This assumes that you have already succesfully successfully configured the source. Note, this command ignores <code>--no-wrap</code> option, so not practical for Git diffs.
