Compilating translations - tomangelo - 01-04-2015
Now for translating game we're using a po4a, which binaries are only available for Linux, and compilation for Windows is very complicated or even impossible (i've tried, stucked when compiling dependencies), so Windows users cannot compile translations for a game.
We should think about new translation system, or somehow make binaries po4a for Windows.
Any ideas?

Change a translational tool? (Much work with changing the format of the files probably)
Provide packages and make that they are downloaded during compilation? (Translators won't have a possibility to test their translations in a Windows environment)
Let's try to compile it together? <3 (Probably won't work)
Nothing else comes to my mind.

I don't know how translations work (it's not my job anyway). I only know that po4a doesn't work on Windows which is not good for a "multiplatform, open source" game in my opinion.
I just want to allow Windows users to compile the whole game and the only thing they can't "compile" right now are translations or whatever po4a is for.

Have we tried that?

We now use Python instead of po4a, so this thread can be closed.
