Блогчетање 02 Mar 2005 https://danilo.segan.org/blog Данилово блогче en Times of l10n https://danilo.segan.org/blog/prevod/times-of-l10n I have been pretty sick these past days, and I always remember what I laughed at as a kid when my grandma told me: "may you be healthy, and everything else will come easy" :)

Now, coincidentally (or not?), I've had to work on a few of my l10n software pieces these days: PHP gettext I wrote in October 2003, and xml2po.

Nico Kaiser extended php-gettext to allow pre-loading entire MO file into PHP dictionary, which reportedly speeds it up up-to 5 times in some cases (it entirely depends on the use). This will mostly benefit WordPress users, which has been using PHP-gettext for a while already to provide localisation. (On another note, is there any other PHP-gettext user? I'd like to know so I can brag around :)

And, with Gnome 2.10 fast approaching, I needed to do some hacking on xml2po in order to fix bugs in translating release notes. Also, there's a big new addition by Daniel Leidert is a man page for xml2po. There're some other interesting updates (like tag name being included in source references), so try gnome-doc-utils/xml2po CVS today!

With all that, I have not yet started on Serbian Gnome 2.10 translations, but Igor promised help on evo part, so we should complete it once again in due time.

GNUzilla3 is out

Free software magazine in Serbian is out with it's third edition. It even got a new webpage. Feature topic is history of GNU and Linux (anticipating Linux' 11th anniversary), but it adds reviews of ProtOS (a Serbian GNU/Linux distribution), FreeBSD ports and packages, GNU/Linux for newbies, using iRiver, wxDesigner and an article on Perl programming.
