[Monotone-devel] Translation status script

[Thomas Keller]

Hi all!

I just wrote a little python script which shows me the translation
status for monotone. For this purpose it queries the files directly via
mtn cat and feeds them into msgfmt -cv.

I initially thought this would be a nice addition for tracmtn (or some
trac module which is included), but since my Python knowledge is very
limited I soon noticed that this is not a quickie and decided to
implement this as a simple shell script. Still, having this in place
somewhere on the web might be faster for translators to check the status
- maybe one could even color it nicely and add a file download
possibility as well.

Another todo would be to read the manifest of the given revision first
and parse out any "*.po" files - then one could get even rid of
monotone's specific file locations and pre-determined translations... =)

Thomas.
