02/10/2023, 10:23 AMlike yoplala said before, users are willing to overlook or ignore smaller translation errors or limitations (like gender being wrong) - f

02/10/2023, 10:24 AMPersonnally I prefer actual haxeui system to .po . I don't understand how a string can be also an id. oh let's add some uppercase, oh now, we have to change all other files - b

02/10/2023, 10:25 AMsure, i think ill stick with the
format... but i more mean the .po system{{id}} - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/10/2023, 10:25 AMand i think ill also create a format ontop of .po that is a little more concise - b

po2:msgid "1 comment" msgid_plural "@count comments" msgstr[0] "1 comment" msgstr[1] "@count comments"Copy codecomments=1 comment coments.plural=@count comments coments.plural[0]=1 comment coments.plural[1]=@count comments - b

02/10/2023, 10:26 AMwell, maybe not more concise, just easier to read 🙂 - i

02/10/2023, 10:27 AMyou know how the POT template works? - f
full-journalist-82607
02/10/2023, 10:27 AMThat's better ! 🙂 - b

02/10/2023, 10:27 AMi saw it, its just basically an empty .po file, right? - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/10/2023, 10:28 AMyeah, but, for all intents and purposes, it will change into a .po file impl - i
icy-zebra-52882
02/10/2023, 10:29 AMpretty much yeah, but the workflow is that translators create a translation PO from the template, add in their text and export it - i
icy-zebra-52882
02/10/2023, 10:29 AMusually using something like POEdit so they never see the file raw text itself - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/10/2023, 10:29 AMyeah, i mean, i would defo support .po... but personally, i dont like the format, so you can swap it out if you want - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/10/2023, 10:30 AMid also want a way for the actual string source to be "pluggable" so i could, for example, grab them from a db - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/10/2023, 10:30 AMnot exactly sure how that would work yet - f
full-journalist-82607
02/10/2023, 10:30 AMI'll have to leave soon, but it could be interesting to download POEdit etc to see which format it supports - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/10/2023, 10:30 AM.po i would assume 😄 - f
full-journalist-82607
02/10/2023, 10:31 AMI don't know maybe it's like csv there's also tsv then ;sv then ... - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/10/2023, 10:31 AM.po, .pot - f
full-journalist-82607
02/10/2023, 10:31 AMso maybe there's a prefer equal sign .po - f
full-journalist-82607
02/10/2023, 10:32 AMlol you're fast ! - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/10/2023, 10:32 AMso i think: - b

02/10/2023, 10:33 AM* review the the locale system in general * make the locale system pluggable so you can plug "anything" into it (like fluent for example) * implement a proper .po system (and make it the default) * extend .po system with a new ".poex" system * some how get the strings from the db (starting to feel this is less useful) * allow translation files to be loaded at runtime (ive thought about this now, and i think its something that would be wanted) - f
full-journalist-82607
02/10/2023, 10:39 AMyou forgot * make @icy-zebra-52882 write a fluent plugin ( oh I don't have to leave in fact) - i
