Does this thing work?

I've ported this to Backdrop, but don't know how to tell if the resulting files are correct or useful.

The only thing I've tried is:

drush potx

which results in a 1.2M file named general.pot ... Is that useful? Is that what you expect?

If not maybe you can file issues against this repo until we get it into a state that is useful.

thanks!

First impression: At the moment I couln't test the module using Drush so I had a look at the UI of the module in a Backdrop installation. On admin/config/regional/translate/extract there are options to extract from core/modules, core/themes and modules. Looks like you can't extract from the whole core directory but I guess you can do this with Drush using the option --folder (see README of the module).

We tried to get the correct files using Drush:

• drush potx single --folder=core
• drush potx single --folder=profiles

Core:

• https://files.gitter.im/backdrop/backdrop-issues/fL0E/general.pot
• https://files.gitter.im/backdrop/backdrop-issues/dVeL/installer.pot

Profiles:

• https://files.gitter.im/backdrop/backdrop-issues/NtBr/general.pot

To do:

• check if these are really the files we need (@quicksketch?)
• if yes, build the files from release 1.6.3 the current release
• merge the files into one
• import it into the language server

I'm going to go ahead and close this because, yes, it does work. 😄

Let's make new issues for individual problems. It looks like it's generating the necessary .pot files, matching what is output by the Drupal version of this module.
