MoManager now manages XML files

MoManager has two more drop-down lists, for management of translations in XML files.

fixpin
I have made a simple script to switch PuppyPin to another locale. It's based upon desksetup.sh and scOttman changes to it. No X restart is needed. Gettext is used. But maybe restart of pup_event_frontend_d is done incorrectly.

Russian mo-files pet
I have made a pet with Russian translations:
added 77 Russian mo files;
added t12s xdelta translation;
added application files and one desktop-directories file;
added XML-translation of Xlock;
added SSS-translations. fixmenus works: shutdown menu is translated, functions4puppy4 is not translated, fixdesk doesn't work so I have
added my script fixpin with fixpin.pot and fixpin.mo files.
It is for regenerating PuppyPin and .jwmrc_tray and it is simple.

added pot and ru.po files in /usr/share/doc/nls/i18n_woof;
pot files could be regenerated with script create_pot_files. This could be useful for poedit to access source files. You could work with pot files directly without MoManager if you know what to do;

added gxmessage and xmessage link to it for UTF-8.

One small thing in xorgwizard: line 1543 - LANG=C should be removed - xinitrc_test is not translated.
And my mistake in pgprs-setup: lines 96 and 210 - gettext quotes should not be escaped.

rodin.s,
I'll get stuck into studying everything that you have posted tonight, including your gettext alternative for PuppyPin etc.

Feedback appreciated
rodin.s, shinobar,
Feedback and assessments of my ideas much appreciated. I'll be studying more on what you guys have posted tonight and tomorrow.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable right now. Yesterday and today we had 42 degree C, and I don't have air conditioning. But, will settle down for some work later tonight.

fixdesk fix
#120211 major overhaul to ensure integrity of translation of target files back to en.

#Note to developers:
#you can run "fixdesk en" or "fixdesk de" in a terminal to convert the target files to en or de
#(or other language). this is convenient for testing your translations.

Sorry, this 'fixdisk en' does not change the translations with me. Or am I missing something?

---
TRANSLATIONs in desk_strings.de all lower case is not good German language. We need nouns upper case.

fixdesk, i18n for tray apps.
fixdesk doesn't translate back to English for me as well. I used my fixpin: 
LANG=C fixpin
to translate to English. But fixdesk translates from English to Russian (PuppyPin but not .jwmrc-tray).
I have also i18n-ed tray apps: (network_tray, freememapplet_tray, powerapplet_tray). It would be good to add them as well.

freememapplet_tray source
rodin.s,
Your comment;

I couldn't find source for freememapplet_tray-2.6 so I just changed icons in freememapplet_tray-2.3.

The latest version of freememapplet_tray is 2.3.1, which is in my sources repo:

re fixdesk en fail
Yeah, it will fail if you have already been using MoManager and earlier fixdesk.

You need to boot a pristine Racy 5.2.2.5 with 'en' locale, then install the latest /usr/sbin/fixdesk.

Sorry for that complication. I had been thinking of future users who would have that latest fixdesk at first boot.

But, I will think about it some more, see if I can work around that limitation.

Re capitals
L18L,
Ok, I have changed them to capitals.

I am making so many changes, it is not really adequate to use Racy 5.2.2.5 for testing anymore.
I'll do another Racy build very soon.

delta-file
Barry, could you make a delta-file with Racy 5.2.2.5 for new Racy.

Re fixpin
rodin.s,
I had a look at fixpin. It seems that you are loosing customization of PuppyPin -- there could be other icons on the desktop, created by some PETs or SFSs when they install, for example my OpenOffice SFS. After running fixpin, those icons would disappear.

shinobar,
I have removed comments in some of my docs in Woof that the gettext method is slower. The comments now simply state that the SSS method is a translation prior to execution, gettext and t12s translate during execution, and I also commented that the gettext method is much more sophisticated.

re xorgwizard
rodin.s,

One small thing in xorgwizard: line 1543 - LANG=C should be removed - xinitrc_test is not translated.

Ok done.
