Conversion to British English Screenshot of &cataloguemanager; Screenshot of &cataloguemanager; The Catalogue Manager merges two folders into one tree and displays all the PO and POT files in these folders. The display allows you to easily see if a new template has been added or an old one has been removed. Some information is shown along with each file name: total number of entries, number of fuzzy entries, number of untranslated entries, the date of the last revision and the last translator of the file. To make it easier for you to find files that need work or are missing the status of each file is also displayed using an icon: All the messages in this file are translated. Some of the messages in this file are fuzzy or untranslated This file does not exist in the folder of the PO files. This file contains syntax errors. Information about this file is being currently updated. When the update is finished, it will get one of the icons listed above to reflect its state. If an icon is marked with this icon , like , it indicates that this file or folder does not exist in the folder of the POT files. You can mark or unmark a file by selecting Toggle Marking in the context menu of a file. If you want to toggle or remove all markings in a folder, press the right mouse button over the folder and select Toggle Markings or Remove Markings. The markings are automatically saved when leaving &kbabel;. To open a file either double-click on the file, select Open from the context menu or press either Return or &Ctrl;O . You can configure the &cataloguemanager; by Settings Configure &cataloguemanager;.... See section Preferences for more details. Besides the main feature for opening the files in &kbabel; &cataloguemanager; supports number of other features for maintaining a tree of PO-files. One of the most requested features for &kbabel; was a possibility to search and replace in multiple files at once. &cataloguemanager; supports this feature with a tight integration with &kbabel; &cataloguemanager; can show you a number of statistics about a single file or about the whole folders. The statistics contain number of files, how many of the files have their templates, how many templates are missing. It also counts number of messages in the files and shows statistics about how large parts of the messages are translated, fuzzy-translated or untranslated. This allows you to check the syntax of multiple PO-files using msgfmt. If a file fails this check, it cannot be used for generating a MO-file for binary distribution. Such an incorrect file will typically result in failing compilation of the package the PO-file belongs to. Because &cataloguemanager; cannot provide any functionality you would like to use, you can extend it by defining your own commands. There are two sets of commands. One for folders and one for single files. You can set them in configuration dialogue and access by pressing &RMB; on an entry in the file list.
