Introduction

This repository is intended to facilitate the development of new Pology rules

Once the new rules are completed they will be contributed to upstream (https://invent.kde.org/sdk/pology), except for rules that are very specific to Softcatalà.

In the contributed directory you have pass rules that we contributed

At the root you have the current rules specific to us.

Generating rules from PO files

See isos directory

We created a Python application to systematize the creation of rules from PO files with the intention to generate rules that help to make the translation of ISO standards consistant (languages names, currencies, etc).

The po-to-rules.py works like this:

• Takes as input a PO file
• Allows optionally to provide some exceptions (e.g. iso_639-exceptions.json)
• Uses a mustache template to generate a Pology rules file (e.g. iso_639.mustache)

Example:

po-to-rules.py -i iso_639-3.59.ca.po -t iso_639.mustache -e iso_639-exceptions.json -o iso_639.rules
