nsis messages and gettext
Hi everybody,

Thanks to nsis we have an ekiga port to windows (http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Buil...ga_for_Windows), but currently we have two kinds of translations:
- our own messages in nsis installer, which are translated in a few languages only
- and ekiga itself strings, which, as a gnome application, has many translations.

It would be wonderful if gnome translation teams translate our nsis strings too. Otherwise said, I would like to:
- either instruct nsis to use gettext translated strings (.mo) in po directory
- or (worse) a bridge application between nsis translation system and gettext.

Any idea on how can I achieve this?

Best regards,
Eugen Dedu

Is it a linux application? maybe it is impossible.

You may need to create a small conversion tool that takes a list of .po files as input and converts it to a .nsh file with a series of LangString instructions for each translated string.
You can then launch this tool through the !system or !execute preprocessor instruction, and then use !include on the output .nsh

Note: if you create such tool, that would be nice to release it in public domain, so other could use it in their installation system.

Thank you for your help.

I will try to do this utility, and keep you informed.
