Hi Torsten, Agree with you 100% and thatâs also how I understood your announcement of i18n.
so let the users decide what he wants to use.
exactly
1. Why is "GetText" not easily loadable from the config browser? If we want people to find and use it we should make it accessible.
The ConfigurationOfGettext exists but I donât have access to the metarepo.
2. When you google for "Pharo" and "GetText" you will find https://code.google.com/p/seaside/wiki/Gettext as the first match.
The page is outdated, points to the old repository on SqueakSource http://www.squeaksource.com/PharoNonCorePackages/ and even that page does not include a hint that meanwhile the package moved to STHub.
Point taken. I will move the page to the Seaside book.
3. Also the new hosting on the STHub page http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~PharoExtras/Gettext seems broken, it includes the following comment:
"Migrated from PharoNonCorePackages. Should be adapted to Pharo2.0"
Outdated comment or not usable in Pharo 3.0/4.0?
Outdated comment. I updated it.
4. The last version there is Gettext-HilaireFernandes.33, that is the one that is also included in Dr. Geo. The code should be updated as
a) it includes a reference to missing class "MethodReference" in #appendVocabulary:domains: b) the NaturalLanguageTranslator>>cleanUp method references a class variable that is not there
Any takers?
Allright, as I have been mostly using the Seaside extension to it, this are parts I have not used. Ok, will take a look at them since Iâm working in this area concerning the gemstone port as well.
5. Writing a simple docu for I18N on STHub took me only a few minutes using markdown and https://stackedit.io. (Pillar and PillarHub provide the same, but STHub does not support it).
So why not write a similar docu for GetText including code snippets and all the knowledge that seems to be there already from using it...
Ha, a bit optimistic there⦠I donât write a page of text in a couple of minutes, but I know what you mean ;) cheers Johan
