AZR english Strings.po not used in some case

Does this only occur, when the language file doesnt has the located strings? It's strange, that when i add the missing strings to e.g. "Eperanto", so the file conatins the same strings as "English", but the issue still exsists...

[beatmasterRS]

Could you please test? :)

[Nanomani]

It is ok for me. :)
Not tested all changed id strings...
If you are use only empty strings id from Kodi all will be fixed

[beatmasterRS]

I have first changed all from 38000 upwards. Used now from 38500

Thanks a lot :)

[beatmasterRS]

Maybe we should use folder named like resource.language.en_gb to get rid of this issue and use all strings? We should test this

[beatmasterRS]

I have not tested yet, but maybe the issues got fully fixed..

[Nanomani]

more important :

• strings 31000 thru 31999 reserved for skins
• translation is empty for "en_GB" labels

[beatmasterRS]

I've made a new branch for that:

https://github.com/beatmasterRS/skin.arctic.zephyr.mod/tree/language-strings-testing

And a PR, so i think its easier to test and discuss...

[beatmasterRS]

strings.po file with only a few kb, i have deleted for now

[Nanomani]

Very good decision 👍

for this "chain 31000 to 31999 reserved for skins", the work is huge ...

msgctxt "#31xxx" => 188 strings
msgctxt "#37xxx" => 483 strings :/
msgctxt "#38xxx" => 19 strings :/

moreover I am sure that there are values that are not or no longer used ...

[beatmasterRS]

Omg I thought that the most strings are in the correct range :( I will start to fix this issue today, for a long time :D :l

[beatmasterRS]

Do you know an easy way to to this? :l

[Nanomani]

Perhaps :)
I have already extracted all the "strings ID" that must be replaced :)
I test 2 batch for :

1. find all "strings ID" not use
2. replace in all code "strings ID" that must be replaced

give me some time :)

EDIT :
usefull link : https://www.translatum.gr/forum/index.php?topic=463147.0
I make a test with "TextCrawler"

[beatmasterRS]

Have you any news on this? Can you use a finde/replace list in TextCrwaler? I am doing also a few tests now.

[beatmasterRS]

If you have the id's, that must be changed, i could generate a list in this format with php:

[Nanomani]

First I thinks we must eliminate all ID strings in strings.po en_GB useless ?

"find all "strings ID" not use" => 153 strings :D

msgctxt "#31xxx" => 68 strings
msgctxt "#37xxx" => 85 strings

Search :

D:\GitHub\skin.arctic.zephyr.mod\1080i\ *.xml
D:\GitHub\skin.arctic.zephyr.mod\shortcuts\ *.xml

list ID Strings :

list_ID_strings_full.txt

Result :

results.txt

My batch : (for run del .txt)

(https://github.com/beatmasterRS/skin.arctic.zephyr.mod/files/6682434/search_strings_ID_not.found.cmd.txt)

[beatmasterRS]

Omg, this looks difficult for me :D If i can do anything to help you, please let me know :)

First I thinks we must eliminate all ID strings in strings.po en_GB useless ?

Yes :)

[Nanomani]

I search a solution for :

search strings then if find delete the line + 2 next line for strings.po :)

EDIT : I have find :p

[Nanomani]

153 "strings ID" cleaning for strings.po DE, EN, FR

I have post a PR for testing

PR : #316
ZIP : https://github.com/Nanomani/skin.arctic.zephyr.mod/archive/refs/heads/language-strings-testing-search-replace.zip

can you try and tell me if i can continue with other strings.po or if there is a problem

EDIT :
if okay for you then I do :

1. a list of all strings 31000 thru 31999 free
2. a list of all strings "#37xxx" with a new "#31xxx" for replace
3. search and replace in all file .xml under :
   => D:\GitHub\skin.arctic.zephyr.mod\1080i\ *.xml
   => D:\GitHub\skin.arctic.zephyr.mod\shortcuts\ *.xml

[beatmasterRS]

Absolulety good job, thanks a lot!

Yes, it works absolutely fine for me :) Please continue :) If you like, please add all follwing commits to the PR you have opened :)

[beatmasterRS]

Thank you so much! :)

[Nanomani]

Thank you for your trust and for this remarkable skin :)

[beatmasterRS]

Maybe we can get this skin to the official kodi repo :)
