By default, intltool/gettext will generate the .po file with the
2
entries sorted completely alphabetically. This is not very useful for
3
po-locations, so we've provided a script to generate .po files in a
8
(substituting "en_US" of course) to regenerate your .po file with the
9
entries sorted as follows:
11
* Top-level regions (continents, etc), sorted alphabetically
13
* Countries, sorted alphabetically
15
* Timezone names, not really especially sorted
17
* State/Province names, sorted by country, then alphabetically
20
* City names, sorted by country, then alphabetically within
23
All of the region and country names are immediately visible when
24
adding a new location in the gweather-applet, and all of the country
25
and timezone names are immediately visible when setting the timezone
26
of a location in the clock applet. Thus, every translation will likely
27
want to have all of those strings translated.
29
The state/province and city names are more likely to only be seen by
30
people living in those states/cities, and so are less critical to have
31
100% translation of; they are sorted by country to make it easy to
32
translate the city names in countries where your language is spoken
33
first, and worry about the city names in other countries later.
36
If you don't want to use this script, you don't have to, but you will
37
need to use intltool 0.40.3 or later to rebuild your .po files from
38
now on, because earlier versions don't have msgctxt support.

Do note there is no need for a LINGUAS file in this directory, and the
42
po/LINGUAS file shouldn't be modified for changes in this directory.
