description
This file is a Vim ftplugin for editing PO files (GNU gettext -- the GNU i18n and l10n system). It automates over a dozen frequent tasks that occur while editing files of this type. Key mappings Action (Insert mode) GUI Vim Vim =============================================================== Move to an untransl. string forward <S-F1> \m Move to an untransl. string backward <S-F2> \p Copy the msgid string to msgstr <S-F3> \c Delete the msgstr string <S-F4> \d Move to the next fuzzy translation <S-F5> \f Move to the previous fuzzy translation <S-F6> \b Label the translation fuzzy <S-F7> \z Remove the fuzzy label <S-F8> \r Show msgfmt statistics for the file(*) <S-F11> \s Browse through msgfmt errors for the file(*) <S-F12> \e Put the translator info in the header \t \t Put the lang. team info in the header \l \l --------------------------------------------------------------- (*) Only available on UNIX computers. Key mappings Action (Normal mode) GUI Vim Vim =============================================================== Move to an untransl. string forward <S-F1> \m Move to an untransl. string backward <S-F2> \p Move to the next fuzzy translation <S-F5> \f Move to the previous fuzzy translation <S-F6> \b Label the translation fuzzy <S-F7> \z Remove the fuzzy label <S-F8> \r Split-open the file under cursor gf gf Show msgfmt statistics for the file(*) <S-F11> \s Browse through msgfmt errors for the file(*) <S-F12> \e Put the translator info in the header \t \t Put the lang. team info in the header \l \l --------------------------------------------------------------- (*) Only available on UNIX computers. Remarks: - "S" in the above key mappings stands for the <Shift> key and "\" in fact means "<LocalLeader>" (:help <LocalLeader>), which is "\" by Vim's default. - Information about the translator and language team is supplied by two global variables: 'g:po_translator' and 'g:po_lang_team'. They should be defined in the ".vimrc" (UNIX) or "_vimrc" (Windows) file. If they are not defined, the default values (descriptive strings) are put instead. - Vim's "gf" Normal mode command is remapped (local to the PO buffer, of course). It will only function on lines starting with "#: ". Search for the file is performed in the directories specified by the 'path' option. The user can supply its own addition to this option via the 'g:po_path' global variable. Its default value for PO files can be found by typing ":set path?" from within a PO buffer. For the correct format please see ":help 'path'". Warning messages are printed if no or more than one file is found. - Vim's Quickfix mode (see ":help quickfix") is used for browsing through msgfmt-reported errors for the file. No MO file is created when running the msgfmt program since its output is directed to "/dev/null". The user can supply command-line arguments to the msgfmt program via the global variable 'g:po_msgfmt_args'. All arguments are allowed except the "-o" for output file. The default value is "-vv -c". But there's even more! Every time the PO file is saved, a PO-formatted time stamp is automatically added to the file header.

po.vim | 1.2 | 2005-04-13 | 6.0 | Aleksandar Jelenak | No major new features, mainly work under the hood to strengthen current functionality. Changes: - Smarter handling of fuzzy translation marks - New key mappings for some commands in Normal mode - More commands available in Normal mode - gf mapping should hopefully be more useful now
po.vim | 1.11 | 2003-07-10 | 6.0 | Aleksandar Jelenak | Minor update to ver. 1.1: Running msgfmt statistics for the PO file does not produce a 'message' output file anymore.
