Quick checklist of AppleGlot's leftover working with Leopard and Camino 1.6a1

Starting with a possibly complete l10n of 1.5.4, here's a quick checklist of things to look after inside the package, after you ran an AppleGlot complete routine. AppleGlot will complain about nibtool errors but it mostly gets the job done, as long as you have installed XCode 2.5 and have created a symlink for nibtool:
ln -s /XCode\ 2.5/usr/bin/nibtool /usr/bin/nibtool

  • Check wether the Localizable.strings file inside the Talkback package is OK, otherwise pick one from previous versions (1 file)
  • Check the .strings files inside MacOS/plugins packages and fix version mismatches (3 files)
  • Check all the .nib files for the preference panes, looking for layout tweaks and a string to translate in the Navigation/General prefpane; don't forget to use the validate layout function (8 files)
  • Check the MainMenu.nib file and see if the View menu is localized (1 file)
  • Check the main Localizable.strings file and look for empty translated strings - there should be only 2 about "Script" (1 file)

All in all, it's just 14 files to check and fix in very limited parts. Of course, we're eagerly waiting on the AppleGlot update that should fix all this.

FINAL NOTE FOR THOSE STARTING A L10N FROM SCRATCH

It's strongly suggested to use a PPC/10.4 box. Period.
