How to generate translation files

• Go to the location under which the renderer was installed.
• You need to have xgettext.pl installed.
• This assumes that you are starting in the directory of the renderer clone.

cd lib
xgettext.pl -o WeBWorK/Localize/standalone.pot -D PG/lib -D PG/macros -D Renderer -D WeBWorK Renderer.pm

• That creates the POT file of all strings found

cd WeBWorK/Localize
find . -name '*.po' -exec bash -c "echo \"Updating {}\"; msgmerge -qUN {} standalone.pot" \;
