From kde-i18n-doc Fri Dec 31 14:39:38 1999 From: Matthias Kiefer Date: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 14:39:38 +0000 To: kde-i18n-doc Subject: ANNOUNCE: KBabel 0.3 X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-i18n-doc&m=94665680612328 Hi all, this is the announcement of KBabel version 0.3 KBabel is an advanced and easy to use PO-file editor. New in version 0.3 is a full featured Catalog Manager with following features: - File manager view for kde-i18n (or similarly structured) directories, which shows the present status of all PO files: if they are in need of a revision or not, how many fuzzies and untranslated strings are included etc. This view is always automatically updated and reflects all changes done to the files, including changes by programs other than KBabel - Various file open mechanisms for editing in KBabel: use Drag & Drop, double click, keyboard or context menu. - "Mark files" function (e.g. to identify POs that are in the responsibilty of other translators) - Automatic comparisons and statistics of POT and PO files for a quick overview which and how many files are translated (or not) and which files may be obsolete - Syntax check for existing files (msgfmt --statistics) to control if the translated files will compile and, accordingly, work when distributed - Free configurable commands, that can be executed from the Catalog Manager's context menu Other new features in version 0.3 are: - Automatic syntax check with msgfmt when saving and if an error occured easy navigation to messages, which contain errors. - Full Drag & Drop support - Of course all new parts of KBabel come with extensive context help, as the older parts have, too. - All new functions, as well as the older ones, are widely configurable through an easy to use and clear preferences dialog. You can download KBabel either from the KDE ftp-server or from KBabel's homepage at http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~Matthias.Kiefer/kbabel/index.html where you can also find many screenshots.
