Updating translate-tools

I don't want to paste all Pavel's blog entry here, only make one addition, how to migrate to latest translate-tools. At first, open the link above. Then read until words: "Create new (thus empty) temporary directory...". It's OK. When you have 100% translated, then proceed reading Pavel's blog. When not, then you should not unpack your gsi/sdf file, but create the new gsi/sdf file from old PO-s with new toolkit. (There is the difference. Old toolkit by default creates your language sdf-file so, that there is your-language-line even for untranslated entries, where untranslated string is replaced with English one. When you create po-s from half-translated sdf-file, created with old toolkit, you will have 100% translated strings, but a lot of them in English.) Next steps are OK. One suggestion more: - when you use prewritten scripts for generating po or sdf-files, don't forget to change PYTHONPATH to location, where translate-tools are installed now. This is one reason, I have started this blog at all... I migrated in september 2005 to new toolkit, and of course I did not remember anything, when Pavel asked me to proofread his blog entry (link above)...
