[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Evergreen 2.2 TPac language/locale questions

[Soulliere, Robert]

Hi all,

I was testing the new TPAC  in 2.2 and had a few questions regarding language support.:

1. When the stable version is released in the future do we foresee some language PO files being packaged with the first stable version of Evergreen 2.2? Is seems that in the alpha version, we are required to roll our own (that seems the case for en_CA for example)? Will Launchpad be used for language support file management?

2. When I ran:   sudo -u opensrf xgettext.pl --plugin=tt2 --directory=Open-ILS/src/templates/opac/ --output-dir=/openils/var/data/locale --output=tpac.en_CA.po

to roll my own en_CA.po file for Canadian English I noticed that the label "Search the Catalog" was not added to the PO file while other labels in the same searchbar.tt2 file were added.

I could add this label manually to the file, but was wondering  why some seem to get added but others were not even though they seem to use the same template identifiers?

BTW, the TPAC is amazing! I think it will be mush easier to configure and customize the OPAC in the future after upgrades. Kudos to all the folks who worked on developing the TPAC!

Regards,
Robert
