5.9.4 Technical background
A number of Python scripts handle a part of the documentation translation process. All scripts used to maintain the translations are located in ‘scripts/auxiliar/’.
- ‘check_translation.py’ – show diff to update a translation,
- ‘texi-langutils.py’ – quickly and dirtily parse Texinfo files to make message catalogs and Texinfo skeleton files,
- ‘update-snippets.py’ – synchronize ly snippets with those from English docs,
- ‘tely-gettext.py’ – gettext node names, section titles and references in the sources; WARNING only use this script once for each file, when support for "makeinfo –html" has been dropped.
Python modules used by scripts in ‘scripts/auxiliar/’ or ‘scripts/build/’ (but not by installed Python scripts) are located in ‘python/auxiliar/’:
- ‘manuals_definitions.py’ – define manual names and name of cross-reference Texinfo macros,
- ‘buildlib.py’ – common functions (read piped output of a shell command, use Git),
- ‘postprocess_html.py’ (module imported by ‘www_post.py’) – add footer and tweak links in HTML pages.
And finally
- ‘python/langdefs.py’ – language definitions module
